At some point in ones life one must decide to say the "heck with it". It is a confused morass of ideas and opinions and it is better just to ignore an...

Space-time are defined differently in SR and GR. Really, it is off no use. I provided the link which clearly states the contradiction. That you disagr...

This is an observation after the fact. It is not causal onto itself. Literally, in your example, the observation of a mind is made the cause. As I sai...

If you look at the link, you will observe that GR is used in the explanation for galaxies accelerating faster than light, even though SR denies the po...

I have researched this type of question on physics forums and elsewhere. It does no good to ask you. You just get lots if different answers depending ...

This is where the sleight of hand occurs. Somehow, somewhere, something called natural selection emerges. It is not the end of the sleight of hand, bu...

I'm not going to get too much into the confused mess of GR and SR, because no one can provide good answers. Only three people understand Relativity an...

If you spend some time investigating just some of the paradoxes and evidence offered for certain theories, it is indeed flimsy and the explanations of...

Because observations indicate that everything is continuously changing. Nothing is constant and this includes all of science. "Scientists behind a the...

Material arises exactly as explain in Bohm's quantum mechanics. The wave is real and it creates patterns that manifest as perceived particles. One onl...

I listened to a similar analysis by Stephen Robbins, but he took a more straightforward approach. He simply demonstrated that the body that is conside...

Thank you!

Whenever I'm told to read a physicalist paper on this topic, the only thing I look for is the phrase or word, (they are constantly changing) that slip...

Yes, under SR time and length are reciprocal. Contraction of length is ignored leading to all sorts of paradoxes. So many, that I simply game up on Re...
September 20, 2017 at 22:06
Well, from the perspective of Special Relativity, how could anything bed contracting toward anything, since there is reciprocity between all frames of...

This is just one of many instances where General and Special Relativity behinds to contradict each other with impunity: https://www.space.com/33306-ho...

In regards to light: 1) There is no duality. It is a wave (a real wave as discussed a hologram) and what is perceived as a particle is simply a wave p...
September 20, 2017 at 19:59
Yes, I too have reflected on all this and have decided that the arts and holographic photography is the most useful direction to proceed. Science has ...
September 20, 2017 at 19:26
The nature of perception, space, and duration must be reimagined in a completely new manner. For example, perspective tells us what can be grasped and...
September 20, 2017 at 19:05
Absolutely. Anyone who has studied sports or arts understands the notion of body (aka muscle) memory. Repetition trains the cells. It is very importan...
September 20, 2017 at 17:40
I'm always looking for new ideas. Some of the best ideas I've heard have come from folks who have to observe nature closely in order to survive, e.g. ...
September 20, 2017 at 17:33
Via some sort of training, most reactions have become "instinctual" or habitual. As I explained, cells have memory and learn to work together via the ...
September 20, 2017 at 17:27
Any mathematical approach is necessarily going to lead to all kinds of paradoxes and contradictions because mathematics is symbolic and discontinuous....
September 20, 2017 at 16:34
The issues you bring up really require a new abstraction of the nature of perception and space. Instead of viewing space as "distance", one can totall...

Dreams bring us into a different place where the mind can play with ideas outside of any constraints. As Heraclitus said, in a snippet, in sleep, the ...

The level of harshness required to create change is in direct proportion to the sensitivity of the mind/body. A skilled sailor can feel the ocean cond...

ok. I'm good with that.
September 20, 2017 at 03:12
Ruminate.
September 20, 2017 at 03:08
I never said this. What I did say is that science is constantly changing which may be attributable to underlying universal evolution. Something to rum...
September 20, 2017 at 03:05
Never said this. It is possible that the cause of inaccuracies may be the evolution of the universe itself. Quantum physics is fine For All Practical ...
September 20, 2017 at 02:51
I need more definition of what these mean. It could be simple visual scanning systems or security systems which can be broadly classified as as can an...

100 years it's a very, very short period of time, and all quantum mechanics provides is a probabilistic equation as well as an Uncertainty Principle. ...
September 20, 2017 at 02:35
We have evidence for only over a short period of time, and as Sheldrake relates, even a very short period may be too long. When we discuss the nature ...

I dealt with AI when it first came out, and while it was a great fundraiser back then (and still is to a certain extent), it performed so poorly comme...

If you don't understand it, don't worry about it.
September 20, 2017 at 02:09
Why don't you ruminate over the Dogma: "The Laws of Nature are Fixed". Sometimes it is necessary to pause and ruminate.
September 20, 2017 at 02:08
Academic education is all about regurgitating for A's. Total waste of time. It should better be called Indoctrination. But whatever. That's life.
September 20, 2017 at 02:06
Actually you not only displayed it, but you did so repeatedly. As for Sheldrake, it's a fun watch, especially about his description of science's intel...
September 20, 2017 at 02:04
That's right, fdrake has to provide evidence of the claim, otherwise it is pure, unadulterated faith and while I am spiritual, I am not religious and ...

It's a fun watch. https://youtu.be/fCQ9I-mT-tU This is the whole talk. Also lots of fun. https://youtu.be/1TerTgDEgUE
September 20, 2017 at 01:47
No your post is absurd, but I attribute it to your faith. You might as well have popped in with a proof of God, a favorite of those who like to play g...
September 20, 2017 at 01:40
What I object to is faith being shoved down people's throats. You are entitled to yours (and your's is probably the most dogmatic on the forum), I jus...

That the equations that are used now to measure some results are the same results that were observed 5 billion years ago. Preferably the exact same ex...

1) Obviously not. I'm going to try one more of your statements, but after this first one, things are looking bleak. 2) OK. You're again just laying ou...

The observation of the bone was wonderful. Now all you have to show is that this would have been the same observation 50 million years ago. You have t...
September 20, 2017 at 00:58
[ Right. And your posts are simply a regurgitation of a dogma of science. So, you have no evidence. You are just repeating something someone told you ...
