Philosophy proposes a truth based on the logic of reasoning for science to dispose of or confirm.
April 10, 2024 at 01:22
There is not much to understand but that religious 'faith' is a wish or a hope that 'God' exists and the rest is the dishonor of acting, saying, and p...

Who needs a proof when one has found a truth? Not that science can't confirm to satisfy our curiosity for a proof.

That which is by necessity causeless and eternal has no alternative but to be; no option; no opposite.
July 30, 2022 at 19:13
Yes, for there is no "come from" for the Eternal. One can go on to conclude that the temporaries produced by the Permanent Eternal have to be its rear...

Good post. Since outputs always have inputs, so true, Then what, we wonder, should we try to do? It’s the other way around, oh, brain stew, For cause,...

I found the link: http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/19364/1/Physics-Time%20and%20Qualia%20-%20Smolin-Verde-7-24-2021-FINAL.pdf excerpts: We must then ma...

Lee Smolin thinks that what is novel/unique requires consciousness to resolve it (somehow free will?), whereas what has happened before goes on auto p...

Why 5D?
May 18, 2022 at 22:49
This is getting near to doomed notion that something can come out of a true lack of anything or 'Nothing'. If something pops out out, then was there w...
May 18, 2022 at 21:34
So, the mind makes a false artifact, thinking that a lack of anything can have being. This leaves The Existent to have no opposite and no alternative....
April 15, 2022 at 01:23
What would make it such that The Existent has no alternative? There can't be a sequence in time from 'Nothing' that has no time nor has anything.

You are adaptable, a good sign. Everything is now physically known about our everyday lives: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2101.07884.pdf

What’s continuous means a field that waves, Naught else; ‘Stillness’ is impossible. A field has a changing value everywhere, Since the ‘vacuum’ e’er h...

Good one! I would stick with that.

Yes, which are the directly structure of the quantum field. That elementary particles go through two slits shows that they are field quanta, that is t...
April 12, 2022 at 20:51
Elementary 'particles' are directly quantum field quanta; there is no further structure. These field lumps of field excitations are conveniently calle...
April 12, 2022 at 03:14
You are heading the question of the thread in a good direction, that of matching the physics to the philosophy for confirmation. We note that the cand...

From quantum non-locality entanglement, We know that information’s primary Over distance, that objects don’t have to Be near each other to have relati...
February 12, 2022 at 00:38
So, we have that 'potentials' can be treated as being real, from your other sources; thus, the wave-function and the quantum fields are real, not just...

Defined as constraint, form refers in a way to what isn't physically present, and yet what has definite causal consequences. Final causality is the ab...

I argue that agency, choice, and control are emergent, higher-level phenomena, Hope so! I just moved my coffee so I can't knock it over.

Well said.

OK 'God' is not, but the Eternal Basis may have a way of coming up with something workable although not ideal, which we have to figure out, which may ...

A real example strong emergence is needed, if there is one. The liquidity is because the tiny hydrogen atoms roll around and also roam between (as ion...

We’ll have to pick at some of the clues to see what might come out of them although not seeing anything about free will or not at the outset. Then one...

How about a fundamental consciousness field, per David Chalmers?
February 04, 2022 at 13:23
'Particles' are directly field quanta, so they move along the fields like kinks in a rope.
February 03, 2022 at 20:59
Because quantum fields are Fundamental.

More accurately, the universe is made of quanta; that definition covers more than atoms. So, anyway, all that forms is of quanta.

I'll take it as something. The word 'immaterial' doesn't seem to be doing any work. It's like 'unstuff' that is still stuff. Since the universe has at...

Wouldn't it still be the stuff of something to be able to be?

Well said! The transcendental temptation can now be thrown out of the stained-glass window. In short, the elementary ‘particles’ are physical, and bec...

It is right on and correct and is in accord with so much that I've posted on the subject of QFT. I only just now discovered his article of a year ago.
