Space and time must be thought of in a different way as not being divisible. An object doesn't travel half-way. It moves from here to there in one ind...

This just unnecessarily maintains the paradox. There is no half at any scale. There is just a fleeting representation of such which is necessitated by...

The is no paradox if one a treats time and space as indivisible - which is clearly the case. Only those trapped in the works of numbers would agree ot...

I would agree that the future is much different in that it is a concept rather than a concrete event in memory. In memory, we have a possiblity of an ...

The justification is memory of the past which gives one a sense that it will continue, with obvious provisos.

Is this the case, when physics uses discrete measurements to describe everything whether it be time, particles, etc. and then uses these discrete meas...

That's the point. Yet, that is exactly what was done with Relativity. This is what Bergson objected to. Time in the Relativity equations and space-tim...

I am not suggesting that musical notes are not useful. What I am saying is that they, as are all symbols, are an absolute awful representation of the ...

As I just finished practicing piano, I observed that the notes that I was playing as I read them off paper was can awful representation of the music t...

I do not understand the concept of being reborn at each moment in time (exactly what is this moment and what is happening in between?), But do I under...

The simplest way to understand mathematics failure to deal with experience are the unresolvable internal conflicts within mathematics, e.g. infinities...

This then goes into defining what is a property that is independent of that which is defining the property. From my position, everything is simply "fi...

I believe on analysis Pierce's definition is impossible to implement, e.g. defining properties independent of a person or a group of people. For this ...

There are experiences (memories) that are shared and those that are not. It is quite a task to separate those that are Real from those that are not. B...

If one takes the position that duration (real time) is consciousness that endures - which is precisely what we experience - then it is difficult to ex...

Wikipedia he does a reasonable job on Bergson, duration, and continuity. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duration_(philosophy) It is a reasonable star...

Yes. I am quite a realist myself. It is all real but being experienced differently. A dream, therefore is as real as anything else. There is no illusi...

Yes, there is such thing as continuity and we experience it quite concretely as duration (real time). To better understand life and the universe one m...

100% agree.

Pretty much all of Bergson's works revolves around around this subject. It is best to start at the beginning and work forward as he refined his ideas ...

Quite interesting. The OP substantially calls to question the whole premise of using discrete to describe the continuous. As the OP describes, by disc...

I think you have presented to most essential issue. I understand the dilemma, but understand that Bergson had truly mastered all mathematics of his ti...

As far as I can tell, mathematics is totally reliant on the discrete and because of this limitation constantly makes philosophical ontological errors....

Does mathematics actual model a continuum? I don't think so. If it did, it wouldn't lead to do many paradoxes and incorrect descriptions of experience...

Yes, this I would fully agree with.

There are areas of the quote that I would agree with and there are others that I would phrase differently. Utmost is the issue that science way over s...

What I mean to say is that carving up space, in imagination, is a matter of convenience, mathematical or otherwise. Space is continuous as is real tim...

I should add that with this simple observation, that space is indivisible, all mathematical theories about nature that rely on mathematical divisibili...

Yes, this was precisely Bergson's solution. The assumption that space is divisible is a matter of convenience, it does not reflect experience.

Your information is totally biased. Immediately you lose all credibility when you edit scientific positions to suit your purposes and then mix some of...

Read about how scientists make new discoveries. Einstein constantly illuded to thought experiments - alternatively described as creative imagination. ...

If you don't want to define laws of nature and enumerate examples, there is nothing to discuss. Should we move on to God, which may be somewhat more c...

You can look at the equation from now to doom's day and there is nothing about entanglement. It is a leap of creative intuition. Bohm describes the pr...

The road to entanglement had nothing to do with analyzing some lifeless equations. It was the result of extraordinary intuition by Bohm and Bell follo...

OK. Define what is a law of nature and enumerate them. Then we'll have something concrete to talk about. My first comment on this thread is that it is...

All of the equations and observations are always approximate and subject to change. It was the discrepancies in physics and chemistry experiments that...

A more unbiased, less hysterical, and less metaphysical report on current scientific understanding of wave-particles. In time, as Bohm suggested, it w...

I don't know. Do you have an exact number or an approximation?

Entanglement is repetitious. That is how it is confirmed. Scientific experiments confirm this. The discovery itself is the result of human intuition a...

I'll tell you what, if you are going to make a scientific claim as a scientist, then why don't you: 1) Present all of the evidence 2) Admit to the ong...

A priori is not scientific term nor is a particle a scientifically defined term, yet you've seen one. Remarkable! You are mixing up science with metap...

Heck, you can see an atom. Good for you. Enjoy yourself. Your just another scientist overstepping boundaries and using some age old tactics to justify...

Your eyes are better than mine.

The intuition of possible meanins is not in the equations in is in the minds that create the possibilities. It all begins with Schrodinger's intuition...

Glad to hear that relativity had some value with approximations and that gravity affects satellite clocks. All theories have problems, Relativity is n...

Science depends upon mathematical equations that describe repetitious events that are approximately the same, enough so that they can be used for prac...

To b respond, I am not as infatuated with relativistic physics as some scientists may be. Any set of theories that on one hand demands reciprocity (Sp...

Your dismissal of Bohmian Mechanics is a choice you make for yours. That other scientists choose muddled theories such as the Copenhagen a Interpretat...

Some scientists make this assumption others are much more careful. Here is one such discussion about laws and you will easily notice the widely held v...

As for my own understanding, the Copenhagen Interpretation is rather muddy, inconclusive, and unsatisfying - by choice. But the Interpretation is simp...
