You think this is some grade school class where you the teacher are going to keep asking me the same question until you get the answer you want?
January 09, 2018 at 22:20
I answered your question. Your belief system doesn't allow you to comprehend. Now back to my question? How does a cell do all of the things you claim ...

It's like waves in an ocean. Entangled forms. To understand life one must jettison logic and imagine patterns. Art brings one much closer to understan...

The Big Bang thing is just Genesis and GTR makes no such prediction. It only concerns itself with measurements by clocks. As it turns out clocks are a...
January 09, 2018 at 21:04
No such thing. Everything is well entangled.
January 09, 2018 at 20:57
It's impossible. It would be like demonstrating God does not exist. It is all based upon faith in the Super-and-All-Powerful-Laws of Nature. Inscrutab...

I just told you, but if you want to play games: define entity? Such silliness.
January 09, 2018 at 20:35
They are the same stuff just different forms analogous to vapor, water, ice.

The Mind? Your mind. My mind. Everyone's mind. That which peers out though the eyes and made up the story that it can't make a choice. It's not all th...

Everything is compatible with Super-Duper-Determinism. God is all powerful. Let's give some credit to those of religious faith. At least they are awar...
January 09, 2018 at 20:16
The only Law of Physics that I know of is Quanum Mechanics and it would take a great myth maker to interpret QM into superdetermiminism. In fact, it w...
January 09, 2018 at 19:44
That Determinism is a religion? I described it in very simple terms without obfuscation. But as with any religion, lacking any evidence whatsoever, De...
January 09, 2018 at 19:35
As with any religion Determinists believe that the Laws of Nature are unlimited in their power to do things in ways mortals cannot comprehend. Determi...

Action comes before awareness. Someone's I decide which way to move and then I move. Both most times it is formed habit. The brain is nothing more tha...

Cells can and rocks can't? Why? What is the meaning of "can".
January 09, 2018 at 18:46
It's as much of a conspiracy as any religion. People of like faith get together to worship the Supreme and there is always someone to pass the plate. ...
January 09, 2018 at 18:42
First of all you are doing a fantastic job of avoiding that taboo word, but unfortunately you are not out of the woods yet. Cells have all like these ...
January 09, 2018 at 15:09
Memory like everything else in the universe is constantly changing. But scientists of all types always assume there is a stagnant, immovable Truth. It...

What is creating the illusions? What is trying to speed things up? What is presuming? What is trying to optimize? What word are You trying to avoid us...

Yes, Life's purpose (the Mind) is to Create. The AI piece is just self-serving and good marketing for academic fund raising.
January 09, 2018 at 14:41
So what exactly is a discrepancy? How does a discrepancy exist without an interest in it?
January 09, 2018 at 14:30
Exactly what (it is not a whom) is interested in the concept of discrepancies?
January 09, 2018 at 14:24
There is an "I", the Observer that is peering through the eyes and is learning, experimenting, creating, and evolving. This idea that we are some boun...
January 09, 2018 at 14:00
The myth in this case are the Laws of Nature (which is both undefinable and transcendental) which are determining everything. This concept replaced Go...
January 09, 2018 at 13:53
Relativity is about RELATIVITY. It's not about time travel or how clocks control the biological aging process. It's amazing how people get caught up i...
January 09, 2018 at 01:47
The reason no one understands Relativity is because it is a mess and the paradoxes it creates is evidence of this. But to elevate to some equations in...
January 09, 2018 at 01:41
The problem was and continues to be determining simultaneity. This was the root issue. The answer that was present by STR is bizarre. There is a privi...
January 09, 2018 at 00:53
GTR has zero relevance to biological systems. It's about the problems of measurement. Every body in the Universe is accelerating. There is no privileg...
January 08, 2018 at 19:01
Thanks for the science lesson. Had nothing to do with GTR.
January 08, 2018 at 18:47
Isn't this totally opposite of what I wrote? Someone's bouncing particles are having a bad day.
January 08, 2018 at 18:36
I'm suggesting that STR and GTR are a complete mess. But that doesn't v keep people from concocting stories about time travel and the sorts. I wish pe...
January 08, 2018 at 18:35
Look at the equation. Do you feel propulsion when sleeping? You are still accelerating.
January 08, 2018 at 18:07
There is no variable in the equations about "experiencing" acceleration. Two measurements, and from each point of view, something is accelerating. How...
January 08, 2018 at 17:51
Sure there can be, it is just not determined. I want to cross the street. I look left and then I look right and I decide to go right. That is what hap...
January 08, 2018 at 16:21
Which one is slowing down? The sun or the Earth. Which is accelerating relative to the other. I understand this time dilation stuff had been around fo...
January 08, 2018 at 16:17
Determinism means much more than causality. It is exactly what it is named. Everything is determined. Causality, other than the Big Bang, is irrelevan...
January 08, 2018 at 15:48
There is no way to make sense of Determinism. It was simply a story made up hundreds of years ago when some scientist/atheists hoped that they could c...
January 08, 2018 at 15:44
I was going to suggest that we just shut down the forum since all of the discussions were already determined, but then I remembered it was beyond our ...
January 08, 2018 at 04:13
You can't read. I said Determinism/Materialism is a religion. It is a story/myth created by atheists so they can have their fated lives to believe in,...
January 08, 2018 at 04:07
The Earth is accelerating. It is always accelerating (remember gravity?). How does an observer who is measuring know what is accelerating. You are usi...
January 08, 2018 at 02:25
And where does such a condition exist in the universe? Clocks may be affected by acceleration (but which one?), but this has nothing to do with biolog...
January 08, 2018 at 02:16
The Earth is not accelerating? Are you sure about this? How does someone on the Earth know that they are not accelerating from the spaceship? Where is...
January 07, 2018 at 23:44
No. You are trying to hard to make a case for determinism/materialism. Insignificant > 0. Electrons aren't even particles. Now it's getting ridiculous...
January 07, 2018 at 23:33
You are being kind. I would describe it as deliberate obfuscation.
January 07, 2018 at 18:45
First, it tells you where the electron (not necessarily a particle) may probably be. Nothing is definite until it is observed. Second,predicting the p...
January 07, 2018 at 18:43
I cannot say that when I am in an unconscious state I feel anything and there doesn't appear to be memory in the manner I normally experience it. But ...
January 07, 2018 at 17:24
That it claims to be scientific where it is simply just another faith. It has its dogma (everything is material), its God (the Laws of Nature), and it...
January 07, 2018 at 17:20
The only equations defining particle movements are the QM equations. They relate only to the evolutionary path of electrons and are probabilistic (ind...
January 07, 2018 at 17:13
It is necessary to pivot one's way of thinking to begin to understand different way of viewing life and nature. You are trying to translate using what...

Physicallism makes consciousness an Illusion as you just did. But you decided to go one step further making illusions an accurate depiction of reality...
