Ok I think I understood your view. Thanks for the clarification. And also thanks for the insights about Tai Chi and for sharing your experience!

Yeah I agree... If you accept that "ultimate reality" is the "Mind", then the "real" time is the "percieved/experienced" time. There is no distinction...

Another idea: if "time" flows indipendently, then is it not correct to say that in fact that time passes is itself a "change"? In fact if we try to "i...

Mmm interesting... I try to give you a rapid answer (hope it makes some sense X-) ): Yeah to give some "support" to your view, maybe the Planck time i...

Well, thank you! Our approach seems quite similar. Curiosly, I have a deep interest in platonism, too (I am very inclined to beleieve that there are "...

Thank you. You might be interested in reading https://phys.org/news/2012-04-physicists-abolish-fourth-dimension-space.html and Smolin's thoughts (he w...

Thanks for the link about Wittgenstein (I knew about his "spiritual side" which IMO is often unrightly disregarder - however it is true that he someti...

thank you for sharing your experience! Excellent post (Y) Personally I studied a bit of eastern philosophy almost four years ago. I read the "Tao Te C...

Excellent ;) Regarding the marketing... yeah sometimes I have the same impression!

You are welcome! And thanks you for the links about Bohm and Verlinde!

Interesting. Thank you. Yeah, I agree that the term "surrender" might be misleading. In fact what I have in mind is only a "surrender" of a particular...

Interesting... you might like also the idea behind Digital Physics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_physics (the rather questionable assumption i...

Probably the word "surrender" here can create problems. What I meant was not really very so different to what you said now. The will cannot cease (whi...

Agreed. As I said in my post I think for most authentic spiritual practices the idea is that one has to "surrender", to "let go", to "trust" etc. Para...

Hi all, there are several approaches in meditation, of course. The most common are the "calming" ones where the person attempts to be mindful to a cer...

Yeah, I agree entropic gravity is a very interesting approach (even if I do not really understand it very well). In some sense it reminds the ideas of...
February 15, 2018 at 08:37
Yea, I agree. Bohm was a very interesting scientist (and philosopher). I find him very insightful. But actually many of the "founders" of QM and relat...

Other interesting info: Another variant of PWT is the "t'Hoof theory" where however superdeterminism is accepted (and therefore it is local!). Also se...

Actually I am a student of physics at the university and I have to say that I agree with you! To be honest I am quite dissatisfied by the "strict prag...

A shorter (and possibly clearer answer). The wavefunction according to the "standard/pratical interpretation" is merely a tool for the calculations. H...

Hi @Wayfarer, I try to answer in a non-relativistic point of view. Short answer: the particle does not interfere with itself. In QM the interference p...
