Future states seem to have a mathematical relationship with past states. It might be because future states derive from applying mathematical laws or c...

and if I'm right, that the universe really is math at the fundamental level, then electricity is itself governed by math. You don't have to accept it ...

You tell me.

but in the case of physics simulations, we literally have the source code. We know why things in those stimulations behave the way they do, and it's p...

Why?

Why would it fail to give a good representation? The only problem with our high speed camera data for this moment in time is that it has limited resol...

Well we have universes where the fundamental rules are defined by computation and mathematics, and those universes are called video games. Similarly, ...

And you don't think those rules are defined in some way that's analogous to mathematics and/or computation?

I think you misunderstood what I was asking, but that's okay brother. Don't worry.

I don't think so. I mean if you go to meetings with other people who believe that, and your organisation treats it as important for you to convert oth...

honestly, I don't think most atheists would, or should, care to even attempt to convince you to change your mind in that. The most important aspect of...

Do you think nos is right, that this article is them confessing to rigging the election? I'm looking for an explanation of how it's a confession of th...

How do you think you can rig it? I gave some more options than those two. I'm open to hearing more.

I don't see how it can be rigged unless one of the two things I mentioned above happened, or there was insane gerrymandering or voter suppression. How...

Because that's what matters. That's the conspiracy. That's the only way the election could be stolen - by falsifying votes for Biden, or by throwing a...

oh, well that's the question I asked that you were answering. I was pretty explicit about that.

Can you point me to the place in this article where they confess to falsifying votes?

If they are open about deliberately stealing the election via fake votes of some kind, please show me. Where's this confession?

the strength of a conspiracy theory decreases as more people have to be involved to enact the conspiracy and keep it a secret. Hordes of people don't ...

I don't think I'm the best person to explain it, if I'm honest. Is this the first time you've come across the concept that mathematics is at the heart...

Have you ever played a video game?

If you're curious about this idea that the basic structure of reality could be mathematical or computational, please check out Max Tegmarks mathematic...

I'm not sure I agree with that framing at all. In fact I think it's distinctly the likely to be the case that the base layer of reality IS something l...

Sure it does. The op of this thread is trying to come up with an alternative of taking the wave function as ontologically real - which implicitly poin...

Woops, mispost

I didn't give this bit the attention it deserves. You said "the fact that the assumption of "constant acceleration" is adequate and useful at low rate...

What makes the comparison interesting? They reacted one way to one thing, and an entirely different way to an entirely different thing. "I went around...

I'm not sure where the right place to submit applications is. I'll let you know if I find out.

Gracious of you.

I don't think you know what whataboutism is. This thread title indicates the conversation is about trump. It's not about whether starting the war in V...

I'm not interested in whataboutism.

it paints a picture of culpability. If it's not his legal responsibility, it's his moral responsibility. The fact that he watched it on TV , with nume...

He had many options. He took none of them.

How do you figure?

sure, every source is a little biased. Doesn't mean some aren't less biased than others. Just ask yourself what would the right wing media, that's cur...

You can't do that without consuming media. You don't have access to the raw data, you only have access to information filtered through previous inform...

No, I don't even see how you see there's a contradiction. You have some assumptions here, as well, that are very premature. Do you know that you weren...

It really doesn't matter much what the media did, Trump's team brought their evidence to MANY courts and they were laughed out of every court room for...

I'm pretty sure physicists call that structure quantum mechanics, because quantum mechanics explicitly predicted the results we do in fact see. Fun fa...

you're asking the right questions, except instead of saying "let's look at the data and check if the acceleration is going up and down wildly" you're ...

So him being found guilty wouldn't affect the odds at all, and him being found innocent wouldn't affect the odds at all?

Will him being found guilty in any of these ongoing trials increase the likelihood that he's actually, genuinely guilty, decrease the likelihood or le...

No argument, just looking for the general possibility that you might have fallen for a lie. Do you think it's possible at all that Donald Trump lost t...

Do you think there's any possibility that you've fallen for a big lie?

You don't concoct the fake electors scheme to contest the election. You don't ask to find 11k votes to contest the election. You do those things to ch...

Why is it debatable that he tried to overturn the election? What does overturn mean to you? There's a handful of definitions online, brittanica gives ...

Yes, I'm well aware that it's within your personal psychological interest to pretend like you have no idea what everyone else is talking about. WHY th...
