Right, but hear me out a second. Please. I beg you. Think of it like this: consider the case of writing the numeral "3" or whatever, with pencil, on p...

What do you think about TREE(3)?

Nevermind, carry on.

No, it's a part of Reality Itself, just like space : )
February 14, 2025 at 22:18
No, I'm quite sure that time is 1D, because a 1D time plus a 3D space allows your physical theory to have a 4D spacetime.

So you think that there's an ontologically significant difference between space and time. Well, you're not wrong, since the former is 3D, and the latt...

Pardon. The same argument can be made about time, Corvus.

Let's start with the following, if you don't mind. In the Preface to the Second Edition (1787) of The Critique of Pure Reason, Kant says:

No, that's not my point. My point is that you wanted to have an interesting conversation, and now you don't.

It's not a random question. Einstein's formula is incompatible with quantum physics. Not entirely, just partially.

You said you wanted to have an interesting conversation. So, answer the question: Is it possible to apply Einstein's formula to a single electron, yes...

Is it possible to apply Einstein's formula to a single electron, yes or no?

@"flannel jesus" here's something to consider. Do massless particles have energy? Of course they do.
February 14, 2025 at 21:12
To me that sounds like being a hawk. It's like the essence of what hawks are.

I think that Pragmatism died with John Dewey, that's what I think. People think I'm wrong about that, but I don't really care.
February 14, 2025 at 20:33
Eh, I don't think that Rorty is a Pragmatist, that's the honest truth. I'm not saying that my interpretation of his philosophy is correct, I'm just sa...

Damn! :fire: Sorry Javi, it is what it is. Gotta recognize the realness there.

February 14, 2025 at 20:18
I promise it's a good video! It's a comedy sketch about a guy who dedicated his life to the study of Ant-Eaters!
February 14, 2025 at 20:15
Right, but I'm just asking out of common courtesy.

Drake please let me link a video, it's Valentine's Day!
February 14, 2025 at 20:13
So can I link a video here or what?
February 14, 2025 at 20:12
Because some people refer to you as "She", that's all.
February 14, 2025 at 20:06
Are you a He or a She?
February 14, 2025 at 20:04
What are your pronouns?

Well, you have the option of explaining the meaning of Einstein's formula, then.
