The problem is that there is no longer any such thing as a particle. What we have is a wave that manifests itself in different ways depending upon how...

If one wishes to begin to form some sort of image in their mind of what the nature of nature might be, one must begin to think of the substrate as a c...

Myth or fact? http://factmyth.com/factoids/the-universe-is-mostly-empty-space/ "The universe and everything in it, including humans, is mostly “empty ...

Sheldrake is a biologist who has developed an entirely new way to conceive of life forms. In his books he is meticulous in laying out his injections t...

I enjoyed the video in the manner it poses "new possibilities". It is fitting that Whitehead and Sheldrake are featured in the video, both of whom are...

I have to say this, but such a description is anachronistic Newtonian. While I don't agree with Whitehead's analysis, on the basis of quantum mechanic...

There is a difference between continuity of substantiality and boundary. A wave is continuous with no point of demarcation. It continuously flows from...

Nonsense, any environment will nurture an endless number of variations that come and go. A cockroach can survive as well as a Zebra in a jungle as can...

Memory is fundamental. The words we use to attempt to describe it (always inadequately and too late) are our symbolic ways to sharing. Philosophically...

Individuals would be analogous to waves in an ocean. They are no hard boundaries but they are all there. Yes. The present doesn't exist as it continuo...

Hellen Keller was able to sense way before she learned the words. Words are for sharing. I can observe a structure (a tree) and create a new rendition...

You mean, I should study "How the Big Bang created Natural Selection via Natural Laws in Unnatural Ways". I always thought this was a matter of faith?...

So now it is "unnatural selection"? I wonder how that would look in the textbooks? For the same reason Natural Selection chose it.

Please. It's a silly story for those who are looking for religion. Believe in the story if you wish, but my own preference is for something more enter...

Natural selection is science's designer. It is a made up term. No evidence other than the world as it exists. Atheists need to believe in something as...

Sharing it ideas is helpful in providing direction and clue, but ultimately one must rely on direct observation and intuition. This is how the Daoists...

Perfectly clear. Though I do enjoy it whatever atheists play this sleight of hand.

I have never seen any evidence of that thing called natural selection. What the heck is that? A natural designer as opposed to an unnatural one. Athei...

There is science's designer. Calling it natural is cute, but a keen observer will catch the sleight of hand. As a matter of observation, such a term h...

Science has its God Creator and it is called the Big Bang that created everything in approximately the same amount of time. When choosing between reli...

Bergson was an academic, and in such capacity had to walk a fine line between what he wished to express vs. what he could express. He was obviously co...

Nothing it's shattering anything. The interference patterns are changing. The pattern for the ball will be deformed in some manner but not nearly as m...

I agree. But if people are interested in pursuing this concept Bergson would be the first place to go. He is no longer taught in mainstream academia b...

Such meaning comes from spirituality, a spirituality that allows for a spiritual life that transcends a single physical life. Evidence of such an exte...

I concur with this. I just wish he presented it clearly as such and forget about all of the fancy mathematics and computer illustrations (e.g. icons) ...

Ontology describes what is and how one derives knowledge varies. Science at times may require divisibility for practical problem solutions, but such e...

Yes, I understand your goal, but I think that creating contingency between these two ideas creates all kinds of complications without any added value,...

I do not believe it is possible possible to develop an ontologically sound metaphysics that is premised on divisibility of duration and motion. It's a...

The mind divides motion for practical purposes which is why the mind invented symbolic representations. It is a way of freezing so multiple minds can ...

There is really nothing groundbreaking here though that he is using mathematics may make it more exciting and palatable for some. He is basically desc...

They are interesting paradoxes which Zeno used to demonstrate that space and duration (time) must be considered indivisible. Read the paradoxes, becau...

If it is overload, just bookmark it for the future. You get the idea and that's enough just to keep in mind as you explore the nature of the mind.

The mind sees it as light illuminates it. Light and mind are inextricably related. If you wish to understand nature, follow the light. There are some ...

A reconstructive bean is the laser beam that is used to illuminate the holographic image. The image is out there and the brain is the tool that the mi...

Exactly. Now if you think of the mind using the brain a to project a reconstructive beam that is illuminating the interference pattern, then you have ...

No. They correspond to the probabilistic wave equations. There is zero determinism anywhere, yet you struggle to find some. Why struggle? Just allow f...

I just don't know why my neurons keep creating this awful illusion. I don't even know how to handle such a situation. Do neurologists make house calls...

I keep telling myself, it is just an illusion, it is just an illusion. Please little neurons make it go away. Just to be clear, I love my neurons, or ...

lol. I thought you were just an illusion. Why the heck do my neurons keep illusioning you? Stop it! Stop it! Those silly neurons. They can get so whac...

My take would be this based upon the universe being a holographic field in nature. One holographic energy field (the ball) interacts/interferes with a...

More like exploration and experimentation. This is precisely what one can observe of babies right through senior age. There is no mystery of who is cr...

Well so I can say is there is much diversity in the human spirit and I learn something new about others every day.

No, there is the option of creative learning from experimentation, such as what a farmer does via grafting.

Ahh, but this is a good question for those who are exploring more spiritual paths and aren't limited by any artificial materialistic view of life.

Ugh. You are merely relating your own experiences. For the most part I am motivated by creativity and nicely in all arts, and it brings me joy.

An interesting turn of phrase. No but probabilistic wave functions and determined are. I can't believe the twisting and turning that you are willing t...

Very much agree. The presenter acts as though a computer has some innate ability to recognize the bits in its memory as some sort of image. No! The co...

In earlier decades, it was often said of a couple that had lived their lives together began to take on each other's physical and emotional characteris...

Where I disagree a bit is that science does in any way have facts or is unbiased/objective. Even less so with the introduction of trillions of dollars...

Denser matter, e.g the fluids and bones of our bodies. It is exactly what sense/observe.
