No, the electron is annihilated at time t1 and is created at time t2 later.

Sure I can tell the difference between an old baseball and a new baseball because I have access to psychological time. I however distinguish between p...
February 24, 2025 at 17:44
By this, I don't mean that the brain is the same thing as I stressed later "The brain at time t0 is not the same matter as the brain at time t1". By g...

An object whose motion is subject to change does so because it experiences a force. This force is due to the existence of a field, a gravitational fie...
February 24, 2025 at 16:43
I already included your correction and changed the OP to include all people's suggestions as well. Please find the new form of the argument in the fol...

Yes, it is a false assumption in contemporary physics. I didn't want to get involved in more detail here since that requires a knowledge of quantum fi...
February 24, 2025 at 15:49
I assume so for the sake of the argument. There are an infinite number of points between any arbitrary points in time.
February 24, 2025 at 15:16
I already mentioned it several times. The brain exists at time t0 and it is experienced by the Mind. The Mind then causes the brain at time t1. So by ...

Please read D1 in the OP and let me know if you have any questions. Like the motion of an electron.
February 24, 2025 at 14:45
I am not happy to use "efficient cause" here since it requires the existence of a material cause. The Mind causes/creates physical. The Mind however n...
February 24, 2025 at 14:32
I am considering a single change here for sake of simplicity. Please see the OP. This thread is a support for another thread entitled "The Mind is the...
February 24, 2025 at 14:16
Thank you, mate. :up:
February 24, 2025 at 13:48
Sure not. That is what I am arguing against it.
February 24, 2025 at 13:47
I said that all memories stored in the subconscious mind are present to it at once. If not, then there must be many subconscious minds each knowing a ...
February 24, 2025 at 13:45
There is considering that the physical and time change, and are two separate things. The physical exists within time and does not have direct or indir...

Thanks for changing my argument.
February 24, 2025 at 11:52
Time t1 and t2 refers to two points in time in which time t2 comes after t1. When I say that an electron exists in time t1 and t2, I mean that the ele...
February 24, 2025 at 11:52
Physical is defined as "relating to things perceived through the senses as opposed to the mind". By "a physical" I mean an instance of physical like a...
February 24, 2025 at 11:40
What is in motion that you cannot understand? I think the main problem is that something cannot be object and subject at the same time. That is why I ...

As I mentioned, "Yes, the brain continues to exist but this is due to a vertical causation rather than a horizontal one."
February 24, 2025 at 10:40
Think of an electron as a physical.
February 23, 2025 at 21:42
Think of an electron as an example of a physical. By state, I mean that the electron has a specific location in space at time t0. It then moves from t...
February 23, 2025 at 21:41
No, the brain at time t0 is not the same matter as the brain at time t1. I think I was clear when I said that this causation is vertical rather than h...

February 23, 2025 at 20:56
What is the relator in the case of physical change? Then please see the above argument and tell me what is wrong with it.
February 23, 2025 at 20:49
Ok, I changed the argument to consider your correction. Here is the argument: D1) Consider two states of a physical, S1 to S2, in which the physical e...
February 23, 2025 at 20:44
I did what you asked me! As I mentioned several times, the Mind cannot create without experiencing physical. So there is a physical that the Mind expe...
February 23, 2025 at 20:26
I think the conscious mind and the subconscious mind collaborate. For example, without a conscious mind, no new thought is possible but new thought re...
February 23, 2025 at 20:02
I am talking about the relation between the change in the physical and the passage of time. It is fantastic because this relationship holds always. Th...
February 23, 2025 at 18:54
P is P2 and Q is P3 where P2 and P3 are as following: P2) Therefore, the physical in the state of S1 cannot know the correct instant to cause the phys...

The translation is Ex nihilo nihil, the Google transition is however Ex nihilo.
February 23, 2025 at 18:35
Physics is the study of the physical and forces that explains how the change in the properties of physical and forces are related to time. It does not...
February 23, 2025 at 12:42
What is physics to you? I am not arguing against physics here.
February 23, 2025 at 11:48
As I mentioned before physical formulation, whatever it is, takes time for granted. Therefore, the physical and time are two separate things in any ph...
February 23, 2025 at 11:10
You need my thought experiment if you cannot get how P3 follows from P2. And I don't think that there is a missing part. And my argument is a form of ...

February 23, 2025 at 09:18
I am a condensed matter physicist by training. I studied particle physics and cosmology in depth before pursuing my Ph.D. in condensed matter physics....
February 23, 2025 at 09:13
Please read this carefully. By the way, what about your analysis of the argument?
February 23, 2025 at 08:58
There is no error in my argument. No. P3 follows from P2 in my current argument here. That is the only tricky part and for that, you need to consider ...
February 22, 2025 at 22:09
As I mentioned many times, the Mind requires the experience of the physical at one point of time to cause/create the physical later. The Mind does not...
February 22, 2025 at 22:00
Not at all!
February 22, 2025 at 21:51
Physical properties such as location. By proper time I mean the time that the causation is due to. See above. That is not possible because the proper ...
February 22, 2025 at 21:50
Because an electron exists within time. To experience time, one needs to go outside of time. We are however trapped within time. Therefore we cannot e...
February 22, 2025 at 21:22
This is off-topic. The change occurs at a proper time otherwise we could not observe such a fantastic relation between motion and time. I don't unders...
February 22, 2025 at 20:12
Sure, it does not know. The quantum field theory takes time for granted. It does not explain why time is involved in the formulation in a certain way....
February 22, 2025 at 20:06
Then consider an electron.
February 22, 2025 at 19:53
Could we please put the creation ex nihilo aside since it is unrelated to our discussion? I mentioned in the OP that the Mind experiences physical. No...
February 22, 2025 at 19:51
And that is the problem when we are dealing with a change. If we consider time and physical as two different things that time passes on its own and ph...
February 22, 2025 at 19:35
I thought that was your analysis! It is funny how people are very dependent on AI analysis these days. An AI just produces what is known. Why don't as...

Stuff that objectively exists, like a chair, a cup etc.
