Situation (a): I present you with one ball and ask you how many balls you see. Your answer is one for sure. Situation (b): I present you with two ball...

That is correct. Any real number has decimal and integer parts each is a set of digits, 0 to 9 for example. Digits are of course discrete while the nu...

I am not talking about decisions here but only the existence of options. Could you realize between two situations in which you are presented with one ...

Have you ever been in a maze? If yes then you realize that options are real when you reach a fork. The options are however a manifestation of neural p...

Sure I agree with this. :wink: I don't understand what you want me to do. I explicitly mentioned that the Mind experiences and causes a string. By thi...

If the space is discrete then it means that there is a gap between two points in space. The gap is the absence of anything or nothing. So there are tw...

Thinking is a complex topic, but we can for sure say that it exists. Thinking, however, is a coherent mental phenomenon. To develop a thought one need...

Well, it depends if space is continuous or discrete. Which one do you pick?
March 06, 2025 at 20:51
I am talking about the decimal part of a number. Consider a very small number with many 0 digits and a 1 at the end, like, 0.0...01, where the number ...
March 06, 2025 at 20:14
Correct. But strings are not the only fundamental entity. The string is a one-dimensional Brane. In principle, you can have a d-dimensional Brane whic...

If it is not then there is a situation in which the motion becomes discrete. This is against the continuum hypothesis. Therefore, any continuous motio...

You have to deal with infinities if you accept that motion is continuous.

So classical theism is false. If God could be happy then He could be unhappy too.

Within string theory, a string has infinite modes of vibration available. Each mode is related to specific particles and forces, in other words, to sp...

What do you mean by this? How do you know that God is infinitely happy while we are suffering? Perhaps there is a reason. Without pain, we could not p...

Ok, I got what you mean with the laws of nature. If so, then there are an infinite number of the laws of nature. I have already explained this twice. ...

Yes. When we think about a subject we have faith that the idea we are trying to develop may be correct. It is however through the processes of thinkin...

The act of intellect is due existence of faith. Persistence in intellectual activity is due to the will though.

To me, faith refers to a mental phenomenon, a thought for example, that can be right or wrong.

I don't understand your distinction between the laws of nature and the laws of physics here. To me, the laws of physics refer to regularities in physi...

We have a long way to get there. First, let's see if we agree on motion of a physical in time.
February 28, 2025 at 17:18
It is not off-topic if we accept that Earth is subject to change. That is an example of a physical that is subject to change and does not a need a min...
