There's a couple things wrong with this question. First, the government agency has no allegiance to one party or another, so it's wrong to say that it...
I'll start with a bit of an outline. Traditional idealism has a deficiency which becomes evident when the theory of participation, which supports it, ...
Good reason to be skeptical. Yes, follow Banno's advice KK, use your common sense and be skeptical. No it isn't absurd to question everything. That's ...
Some people, myself included, claim that Plato himself refuted Pythagorean idealism, before Aristotle. The modern representation of Platonic realism i...
I don't know what you would mean by "Accident" here. Isn't an accident a property of an intentional act? So the so-called First Cause would be an inte...
Your use of the word "system" in this post is somewhat misleading. "System" implies boundaries which distinguish internal from external, but the bound...
I wasn't making a judgement about whether the cosmological argument is true or not, so whether that's debatable is beside the point. That's why I didn...
I really believe that most people are not actually in fear of covid-19. They practise physical distancing measures as a moral responsibility to protec...
The point is that a potential cannot be a cause, only something actual can cause anything. Notice that in your descriptive example, there are supposed...
Is "the attribution of meaning" simply interpretation to you? If so, how do you account for the difference between putting words together to say somet...
A big problem here is that Aristotle's cosmological argument explicitly denies the concept of "Eternal Potential" as an impossibility. This is why the...
What is "excellence" if not a healthy being? I didn't say that it's always bad to push oneself hard, I said it's bad to push yourself hard when you ar...
Hey man, pushing yourself too hard is unhealthy. And to justify pushing yourself to an unhealthy extreme with "I have to eat", or "I have bills to pay...
Information about Dr. Patel, on the web, is scant. I would assume that the use of "an object feels the effect of..." is not accepted physics, but an e...
It sounds like you've got some bad habits. It's not healthy for the individual who is sick, or for those in one's surroundings, for a person to go to ...
Do you think that an inanimate object has the will power to resist, (even for an extremely short period of time) being changed by the force which it i...
I would say that you're definitely right that this is a matter of metaphysics. But some metaphysics is supported by science while other metaphysics is...
Judging by how you refuse to address the issues I point to, and continue to be unwilling to acknowledge any of the problems of the Standard Model, I t...
I think it's been demonstrated that the position of the photon is non-measurable because it's simply not in any place when its position cannot be dete...
There's no retraction. "Comes from", as in "the cause of" is not the same thing as the attribute itself. This is why I emphasized the fact that energy...
A photon appears at one place and then another. We cannot say that anything happens to it in between because we cannot confirm that it even exists in ...
Because that's what we call what we experience as time passing, "time passing". How do we know that water is water? It's what we call it. If you want ...
Persuasion is not based in learning, as the existence of deception demonstrates. To be persuaded into believing a falsity is not an instance of learni...
No, you cannot say that the mass of a hadron is equivalent to the sum of the mass of the parts, that's exactly the fact that I've been trying to impre...
The mass is intrinsic to the hadron. But, there is something called mass-energy equivalence, made famous by Einstein. Nuclear energy is produced by th...
Exactly, neither quarks nor gluons have substantial mass in relation to hadrons. That's why your claim to know that inertia comes from an external sou...
The protons and neutrons, hadrons, have mass, and therefore account for the inertia of a molecule. Quarks only make up a very tiny portion of this mas...
Try this KK. The "strong interaction" (gluons) is responsible for the mass of protons and neutrons, and it acts from within the nucleus of the atom, n...
You really haven't explained how the Higgs field produces inertia. You've just asserted that this is a fact. What I'm intolerant toward, is opinion pr...
Talking with someone who insists we know with confidence what inertia is, it is what is produced by the Higgs field, makes boring conversation, in my ...
A line segment being composed of points is a contradiction in terms. The point has no dimension, and the line has dimension. Even an infinity of point...
Since we only refer to physical change in our descriptions of temporal duration, we haven't yet developed the means for describing temporal duration t...
No, nothing and being cannot act in unison because they would negate each other, in an absolute sense, rendering this supposed act as completely unint...
Right, we know that we can divide any period of time into a shorter period of time, just like we can divide numbers. So when nothing happens (meaning ...
Here's something to consider. In "OUR" world, we talk about very short periods of time, Planck length for example. At some very short period of time i...
That is what I described earlier as a mistake. Following Aristotle, (and this is not Thomism it is Aristotelianism pure and simple), becoming is incom...
