What do you mean by 'proves reality' and which scientific finding lays this claim? It sounds like a philosophical assertion, and you're hearing one pe...
Given an arbitrary choice of frame, yes, this measurement can be done. Given a different frame choice, the chock synchronization would be different an...
This can be done, but the synchronization of the two clocks is frame dependent. For that matter, so is the distance measurement since E1 and E2 are no...
Didn't know this. Looked it up, and pretty much yes. They said that light was absorbed by the lattice, not the atoms, as evidenced by the absence of a...
I've not heard of anything like that, but I'm no expert either. All descriptions I read are from light being absorbed, not just passing by if it was m...
You need to redefine omnipotent then, since most-powerful carries no implication of 'can do anything'. You asked if the logic was sound, and I respond...
My example was the most-powerful bunny, which by your definition is God if there's nothing more powerful than it. There's plenty of things it cannot d...
Then none of the other statements follow from your one postulate of god being the most-powerful and there being two of them. For instance, 3: X being ...
First of all, you need to label your points as postulates or conclusions. Hard to tell. Second of all, the soundness (or lack of it) of your logic is ...
Relativity is not a full description of reality. A full description would need to include relativity. Light is still photons, and relativity is based ...
You're describing objects, not events. The above setup needs a defined frame to take a measurement, and none has been specified. So for instance, the ...
Indeed. But still a smaller hell than the current path. A preemptive bubble burst might wipe out over half the population, an intolerable situation. B...
This rings true. What we are up against seems to be an inability to even suggest a solution. Pushing for greener energy will help delay the change, bu...
I would have thought that experience is by definition subjective. One can consider something in more objective terms, but that wouldn't be an experien...
None, yes. Emission and detection of a photon are two events and events do not have velocities and do not define frames. The relative velocity of the ...
I think the one relevant to this thread is eternal-inflation theory, where other worlds have different physics. Modal realism pretty much covers any o...
The theory in question is a cosmological one (theory of big things explaining what we see in telescopes), the other end of the scale from QM interpret...
I don't think it would result in a black-friday forever situtation, Capitalism where everybody is indefinitely rich. I've spent quite some time trying...
It is a principle, not a hard truth. PUN = unobserved events will probably resemble observed events Finding an exception does not deter from the princ...
I guess if you define Ether to be a substance that can be said to be stationary, then it defines a frame, and you can move relative to it, and light s...
Yes, that was the model for a while. It predicts that if two observers were in the same local volume but only one of them stationary, the moving one c...
In the frame of the train, it is already stopped. Typically, the lightning example has the two lightning events being simultaneous in the frame of the...
If it is relative to something (your set of stars), it is not absolute. Any absolute frame would not be in reference to a particular thing. Frames don...
What if X and Y have different features? X is 1.2 m in height and Y is 1.9 m and a different set of features. Can they be identical? If not, then I do...
Well, No mammals are cats, to follow the exact same form, but the two are the same statement. So indeed, these are both examples of conclusions that d...
Interesting choice of quotes to attach to that response. So you're saying that the round Earth model is just a convenience for scientific problems, no...
So your claim is that under Minkowski time (time has same ontology as space, something that relativity suggests but doesn't demand), experienced time ...
Not sure what a 'real time event' is. If there is communication, there is the event of the message being sent, and another where it is received. That'...
I think (without proof) that time is part of the universe, and that clocks measure it (temporal distance). God is outside the universe presumably (unl...
Are you claiming there would be an experiential difference between the views? That would constitute an empirical test, no? Intuitive yes, but if we we...
God is defined to be able to do anything, yes. But no, this is not that universe. Such a universe is possible. It would probably have luminiferous aet...
This is correct. ToR suggests but does not assert an ontological status to time. To date I've seem many claims of empirical evidence supporting both s...
You've not defined a paradox. You just gave multiple choice. Pick one and stick with it. You don't need to reach for fiction to see this. Amoebas do t...
A more unbiased summary of somebody else's view I've never read. Off-point of me to comment, but you seem to dislike similar assessments of your own v...
You're right in that the term is used loosely and is but one category of beliefs. The way I've heard it distinguished (sometimes, not necessarily) is ...
God is free to define a sorting of all the events into time order. No inertial frame of reference does that, so it would not be an inertial frame if i...
The above assumes a constant expansion rate to the universe, not a true thing. Given that it is accelerating, neither Mr Bee nor Mr Cee are in that fr...
I'm rejecting the prior post saying that sufficiently distant places don't exist. I gave an example of an event 2 trillion light years away that exist...
I'm going to have to eat my words then. I am on record for saying that the distance between any two events (points in spacetime) can be expressed by p...
Sort of its own disproof then. The logic is sound, and the conclusion obviously contradicts reality, thus at least one of the premises must be wrong. ...
It's not that we don't know the absolute frame. Any designation of one would render over 99% of the universe nonexistent since only a tiny percentage ...
Frames don't move, and there are not fast and slow ones. They all are references defining zero velocity, so we might for instance consider the frames ...
I find nowhere in your descriptions where material moves outward. Everything in moving inward, which is what makes it spin faster, yes, like the figur...
While I might agree with you that evolution does not produce true beliefs, I didn't see where Michael Ossipoff said otherwise. There was no mention of...
But will the solar probe offending enough to bring about the coming of the great white handkerchief? Probably not, but is just 'probably' worth that k...
Resutling in a rotation free and satellite-free system of one object, perhaps large enough to be a star, or perhaps a lonely dark planet with neither ...
