But the point is that all motion in the universe could be opposite to the motion we observe. Why is the begin situation situated at the begin instead ...

"Crab mentality, also known as crab theory, crabs in a bucket (also barrel, basket, or pot) mentality, or the crab-bucket effect, is a way of thinking...

Logic can be used in philosophy. Of course. I don't deny that. Like I said, the only logical conclusion, if the gaps are closed, is the conclusion tha...

Screaming, dear Nckolas, won't help your case. The thing that is to be understood is not that things in the investigation of the universe don't need p...

From the article: "Pastafarians"... He's got a sense of humor! But why you should posit a spaghetti monster? Is that a god who eternally eats spaghett...

Our beloved bishop claims to have knowledge of God in the same way as claiming the gods look just like life in the universe. His concept of God is an ...

Why is that independent on the nature of the universe? It depends on the rackets we use, the balls used, the (presence of an) arbiter, the nature of t...

A wonderful description of the state of modern "philosophy"!!! :up:
May 04, 2022 at 11:27
The last is of course questionable. And philosophy should asks these questions, as it should question the opposite too: "God does exist. This is quest...
May 04, 2022 at 11:23
It depends. If we consider the material universe we play with the same rackets and the play field is well defined. Though your racket is different fro...

The electron behaves differently from a tennis ball. But it's still a physical object. It lacks the physicality of the tennis ball but at the same tim...
May 04, 2022 at 10:50
The point is, I would love to play tennis with you. I have my own racket and balls though. A magic racket and magic balls. You would be tired and ask ...
May 04, 2022 at 10:47
I partially agree. Its indeed an evaluation term we use on claims that are in agreement with facts. But there are more facts than the ones about the m...
May 04, 2022 at 10:43
An electron is both natural and energetic. Around a nucleus, depending on the orbital, it has varying angular momenta. though it's energy is well defi...
May 04, 2022 at 10:38
Indeed, you can! I'm not saying I know the truth for you. There are more objective truths, and depending on who you ask, a different story will be giv...
May 04, 2022 at 10:28
What else, if the gaps are closed, is there to logically conclude that the universe, or better, the stuff it's made of, was created by gods? I didn't ...
May 04, 2022 at 10:24
The states of electrons around a nucleus are just as physical as any physical macro system. No, it's not that which allows them to interact. That's a ...
May 04, 2022 at 10:19
The question is: why does heaven need verification in the first place? For me it doesn't. It's the stuff around you and the stuff you're made of. Agai...
May 04, 2022 at 10:07
There are interesting things said (and filmed?). It's a bit "fear" centered though. The word "fear" pops up a thousand times!
May 04, 2022 at 09:44
No, of course not. The universal stuff is not the stuff of heaven. But it's still divine stuff, as they created it to let the heavenly realm evolve in...
May 04, 2022 at 09:29
Yes. When nothing is done, nothing is left undone. When no attempt is made to know yourself, you are yourself.
May 04, 2022 at 09:22
That's his illusion, or desillusion, if you like. The guy is a computer freak.and compares the brain with a computer, which for his mind might actuall...
May 04, 2022 at 09:04
We all are our bodies, with magical worlds inside, walking around in a world like the gods in heaven walk and crawl around. The paradise gardens, once...

Who doesn't? The hands of the clock always move. Thermodynamic emergent time cannot stop. But a clock can stay put or move. So it can be that time mov...
May 04, 2022 at 08:20
Exactly as science proceeds. Toddling along can both stimulate science as theology. They both are not static monolith institutions, as they both want ...
May 04, 2022 at 08:09
Rovelli, like Sean Carroll, says a lot of weird things, far removed from reality. Charge is the agency that causes other particles to change. Charge i...
May 04, 2022 at 08:00
What's inconsistent? All forms of universal light have a heavenly counterpart. Even one of yours! He's probably denying you are real... What doesn't m...
May 04, 2022 at 07:57
I dont think time is flowing. The hands of the clock move though. So motion is time. Periodic motion is the clock, irreversible motion what it measure...
May 03, 2022 at 23:43
I sleep wonderful! :yawn:
May 03, 2022 at 23:38
You gotta admit though that Rovelli is quite an agency...
May 03, 2022 at 23:37
Ah! Rovelli! Conosco questo fisico! I'm not a fan though, as I'm not a fan of any. Well, only one! Harari from Israel. He's the only one who gave me a...
May 03, 2022 at 23:34
Don't worry! But yes, I guess you have to deal with... But you could also just accept the gods as a given...
May 03, 2022 at 23:18
But how then can particles move towards each other or repulse each other. If there is no time they can't move.
May 03, 2022 at 23:15
On the contrary! Im far ahead of my time. Already at 35! The world isnt ready yet. But my writings will soon be read in the whole world, Nobel prizes ...
May 03, 2022 at 23:12
Don't feel sad Nickolas! Life is wonderful! Litterally!
May 03, 2022 at 23:08
I can see only a white page in the link. Which is understandable as the concept of charge in physics is poorly understood. Personally I litterally see...
May 03, 2022 at 23:07
No, science offers more than abstract descriptive frameworks. Science offers mental simulations of reality. It depends on the region or domain investi...
May 03, 2022 at 22:14
There is agency behind physical phenomena. Particles possess charge, the agencies that couple to virtual fields by means of which they interact. That ...
May 03, 2022 at 22:07
In nature, there are in fact very few instances of exact mathematical shapes, apart from straight lines and spheres. All mathematical exact special fu...
May 03, 2022 at 21:58
Every interaction involves a collapse of the wavefunction. All particles in the universe were interacting from the moment they were created and still ...
May 03, 2022 at 21:51
Yes, indeed. The branching points are the points where a superimposed state splits into the two separate states after measurement. There is no collaps...
May 03, 2022 at 21:42
No, there are just a whole lot of gods. It existed eternally and then a terrible thing happened which made them engage in creation efforts. Yes. Why n...
May 03, 2022 at 20:06
In some sense, yes. Plato's mathematical heaven can't be known though. The heavenly gods can be known though by looking around. We are not their shado...
May 03, 2022 at 17:31
Good questions! The gods just look like all life in the universe, and they have created the universe and live evolving in it because like that all hea...
May 03, 2022 at 17:18
Things you can't touch, in principle. Out of reach of experimental verification.
May 03, 2022 at 16:01
I did answer with no. Although I must admit that I don't know how humans on other planets look like. Probably just like us. And that's because humans ...
May 03, 2022 at 15:54
Goodday uuuuuniverse(ness)! Animals don't question gods. They just live their life to please the gods (unknowingly) as they did in heaven. It are huma...
May 03, 2022 at 15:14
What if our faces were on our back? Would time move backward then? We would see what we did only after we had done things, after turning around. We co...
May 03, 2022 at 14:42
From the link: I believe in gods but don't think they have controlling power. They just created the universe and let it,go it's way, including all lif...
May 03, 2022 at 10:53
Yes, it's always good to be euphoric about something. Be it gods, science, astrology, or the witches within. You can be religious about the developing...
