That is my point. If the distance/gap between two events is zero then events are simultaneous. Are you talking about the power set? It was a mistake o...

There is no other solution to it while not all humans are not all-wise. Could you imagine what our lives would be like if we didn't submit to human-ma...

What evidence do you need? Do you think that all things done in the name of humanity are right?
August 10, 2024 at 21:46
That is not correct. If the distance between two immediate points on time is absolutely zero then these points are simultaneous. Moreover, the number ...

We were not talking about worship. Who said that God needs worship? I said that God can act Unjustly since God is free. That however does not mean tha...

There is either no gap or there is a gap. There is no other option. All events lay on the same point if there is no gap or the gap length is zero.
August 10, 2024 at 20:24
Change to me is the chronological occurrence of events. You cannot possibly order events chronologically if they occur at one point. Does this make th...

I already mentioned that. Could we agree that if all events lay on the same point then we cannot have any change?
August 10, 2024 at 17:40
The gap exists in the discrete time as well as the continuous time. The gap however is arbitrarily small in the continuous time. If the gap is zero th...
August 10, 2024 at 17:06
Well, all I need to start my arguments is that change occurs. What are the laws of nature and how they are enforced in nature is beyond the scope of t...

It seems you are not interested in my argument for each step!
August 10, 2024 at 15:22
God didn't create humans. We know that human is the result of evolution. God is a free agent so God can act Unjustly but that is not what an all-wise ...
August 10, 2024 at 15:19
I didn't say must. God is a free agent so God can act Unjustly. All I want to say is that excluding you there is also God who can read your thoughts a...

I have some arguments which provide support for part of my belief. Another part of my belief is based on my spiritual experiences which we cannot disc...

I think that philosophy is a part of the knowledge based on facts while science is a part of the knowledge based on data.

Most Western countries got it wrong when it comes to drugs. Alcohol is among the most dangerous drugs while it is legal. This website provides a list ...

I believe in a God who is Omnipresent, Omniscient, and Just (by Just I mean It delivers Good and Evil in the right proportion). Therefore, I think tha...

I can prove the existence of an immortal substance that I call the mind. The argument is very long and complicated though. We need to agree on six fac...

But time exists if space exists independent of whether change exists or not.
March 12, 2024 at 14:37
You mentioned that time does not exist if change does not exist.
March 12, 2024 at 10:38
Time and space are twisted and are parts of a single manifold called spacetime. This means that you have time if you have space.

Unfortunately, the wiki references in some cases are not good enough or may be misleading. You will enjoy this article if you want to get involved in ...

Spacetime can affect the motion of objects and light. Massive objects can change the curvature of spacetime as well.
March 10, 2024 at 16:23
It negates what you have said. I am afraid that I don't see any point to repeat myself.
March 03, 2024 at 10:28
You cannot draw a figure in which the whole has a limit and there is nothing beyond its limit.
February 29, 2024 at 09:51
Correct. Unfortunately, we don't know how we think so we cannot design an AI that can think.
February 28, 2024 at 18:42
Yes, AI can think if we know how we think. We can simulate the brain if we know how it works when it comes to thinking. There are three questions that...
February 28, 2024 at 15:33
I know but the very existence of a limit means that there is nothing beyond it! What is beyond the end? It is either something or nothing. Take your p...
February 28, 2024 at 15:28
Please check the following figure: https://ibb.co/nj94LtJ If by nothing you mean the black area then that cannot be nothing since nothing cannot have ...
February 28, 2024 at 09:05
What do you mean by directional sense? Georg Cantor showed that there is an infinity of infinities.
February 27, 2024 at 10:21
I don't agree with you that space is synonymous with nothing but for the sake of argument, we can assume that space is a substance. One problem is res...
February 24, 2024 at 10:29
Well, that is a matter of definition of things. Could we please agree that the condition in which there is no thing, namely no space, no material obje...
February 23, 2024 at 10:51
As I discussed we cannot have physical access to the whole but a very small part of it. So the only way to understand what its size is is through reas...
February 23, 2024 at 10:30
Yes. Yes, W_1 stays the same and does not change. I mean what we consider as the whole W_1 which is limited is not the whole but something bigger W_2 ...
February 22, 2024 at 10:58
No, nothing is the absence of space, physical objects, etc. That is alright. Saying that space is a substance does not resolve any issue here nor it h...
February 22, 2024 at 10:44
Ok, so I have to draw a figure to show what I mean. Here is the figure: https://ibb.co/09dXsQH. As you can see the curvature on each point of this sur...
February 21, 2024 at 20:48
If by "space is a thing" you mean that space is a substance then that is still the subject of debate. If by space you mean a continuous area that is u...
February 21, 2024 at 20:24
To explain that I need to explain what I mean by limited. By limited I mean restricted in size. By "bounded by" then I mean that there exists somethin...
February 21, 2024 at 19:36
Thank you very much for the reference to the book.
February 21, 2024 at 18:43
Cool. I didn't know about him. I am not a philosopher by education. Good to know about him because I have something extra to read.
February 21, 2024 at 17:26
What do you mean by "limited" in this case?
February 21, 2024 at 17:05
I know. :wink:
February 21, 2024 at 16:48
Well, if by "all" you mean "everything that exists" then following my OP I can show that the whole is limitless. I agree. What do you mean?
February 21, 2024 at 16:48
Actually, I am very open to changing my mind if I am shown to be wrong. :wink:
February 21, 2024 at 16:10
I didn't say that your statement is on me. I mean, we both conclude that the whole is limitless so we agree on the conclusion.
February 21, 2024 at 16:05
That was my reply to Philosophim. Lionino thinks that the whole could be a closed manifold. I am trying to show that any closed manifold is embedded i...
February 21, 2024 at 15:06
Lionino does not think so. He thinks that the whole can be limited. Please see my discussion with him.
February 21, 2024 at 09:52
Where? I already argue that a flat manifold with a boundary cannot represent a closed manifold. How the lines could deviate towards or away from each ...
February 21, 2024 at 09:42
Hello Philosophim! First, you need a space as large as the size of the sand to embed the sand within. Now, the question of what is outside of the spac...
