Aquinas says the "more actual" has no length breath or width. Gee, all my favorite stuff! I doubt there are spiritual substances more beautiful than s...

Spiritual-God thoughts make me very depressed. I am not into the fine details of science but I love matter. China has the rock worship tradition i fin...

It's called dead by fallible doctors. When death happens is debatable. The brain has many avenues for consciousness that science can't reach yet. If y...

Aquinas was obsessed with "that which you can't divide", which means the spiritual for him. Well there is dimensionless prime matter too, which for hi...

Those experiences still come from the meat of the brain, the location of consciousness.

I am a materialist because I believe the holy-sacred-divine is nothingness, not a substantial spirit. I work hard at understanding the world mechanica...

The universe tries very hard to hide the secret of its origin.

It's interesting how you can understand past time as "always reaching for nothing but never getting to nothing" as Hawking said, and how they get ther...

Schumann resonances (the pulse of the earth) is the same as human delpha waves and is needed for life to being. There is much interconnection because ...

Wittgenstein's argument is essentially against linguistic relativists. We can't see what someone else means, but we can get a gauge on it to the exten...

To whom it may concern: Truth is a movement that is not essential and is not substantial. At least that is how Hegel saw it and that is how I've consi...

1) how can something have no spatial final term but be finite 2) why can't you compare two infinities by first combining the cardinality with the dens...

But if someone's dog go missing, why is it unreasonable to assume aliens did it? Is it because this makes the same mistake as the theists when in assu...

Before you said the object has an infinity of points. Now you say otherwise. If finite figures have an infinity of points, that is paradoxical. Qualit...

GR is a philosophical interpretation. Data can never show that colors don't exist, can never show that time doesn't exist, nor can it even show that t...
February 28, 2020 at 17:42
It's the same intuition as Kant's CPR. There are two aspects here. The finite that is infinitely divisible, and motion over it (Zeno's paradox). If I ...

Nothingness is more sacred than something, so the latter comes from the former. You are caught up on solidity
February 27, 2020 at 06:08
Theoretical physics is just a branch of philosophy. How to interpret data is subjective. The sole thing Einstein noticed was the observation that exte...
February 27, 2020 at 06:02
I was using "eternal" twice for emphasis. Do you deny that it is unintuitive to be able to divide something finite a literal infinite amount of times?
February 27, 2020 at 04:04
If you can subdivide a segment endlessly, to eternity, it's finite and infinite. Figures are round triangles then basically by definition. I am tired ...

To get from point A to B, a superstar is required, according to human reason. First there is a half length, but since your half there and not there ye...

Zeno's paradox has for half my life made me wonder how a figure can be both infinite and finite at the same time. Latter i realized that banach-tarski...
February 26, 2020 at 02:15
It has to do with relativism because something can't be both finite and infinite at the same time with respect to the spatial, yet it is so. Relativis...
February 26, 2020 at 02:02
I am truly interested in learning more. Saying that infinities have two aspects, cardinality and density, confounds me. I never have rearranged the od...

If one contains all its fractions then it is a set too. It's a set that contains itself, which would mean it's solidity as a single number
February 25, 2020 at 16:30
The term "set" and "number" are unclear though. We are free to think of 1 as finite or an infinite collection of fractions. Are sets when separated fr...

It does. I think there are infinitesimals a violin can hit. And if time has infinitesimals the same applies infinitely to rhythmn. Try alternating the...

In college i wondered if the world was an illusion but I'm the Cartesian sense. Not as coming from the mind, but not being real nonetheless. I don't t...

The idea of reality is shaded with the idea of truth. "To translate the word truth and especially to define this expression conceptually in theoretica...

And more, I can prove no God exists alpowerful by the existence of colors and math. If God threw a box across space and it split into infinite descend...
February 25, 2020 at 08:17
Truth has no essence, so you confound yourself ontically with what covers numbers and what is it and if it covers itself. There is no way to explain h...

I visual infinity be contemplating infinite space. Am I in the middle? Then I think soliptistically, as only my body existing. Suddenly infinite space...
February 25, 2020 at 07:03
The odd numbers, just to recap, are eternally half the natural numbers, as they go to infinity. Moving 3 to place 2 ect is basically just adding the e...

Scepticism can lead to very existential living. Doubt isn't bad like Christians think. I believe you guys exist ontically, but I have to know someone ...
February 23, 2020 at 19:53
Hegel thought Kant's categories were too static and put them on their head in order to create a movement. Kant thought the conscience was God but saw ...
February 23, 2020 at 19:42
I don't see the relationship between your equation and moving all the odd numbers back without changing its infinity. I mean I get the equation, but i...
February 23, 2020 at 17:03
This thread reminds me of Hegel. Making opposites one then negating the united product
February 23, 2020 at 03:17
Maybe God doesn't want us to look for signs. They could come from the devil or from God anyway. How are we to know which?
February 22, 2020 at 01:09
I think that pairing up odd numbers with natural numbers by sliding the former back is an illegal move. Prove otherwise
February 22, 2020 at 00:34
Maybe Allah doesn't want us to look for signs, since he doesn't a priori let us know what signs to look for. A great civilization might look great, bu...

Can you briefly explain why it's a legal move to move 3's place to line up with 2 when it's realty in-between 2 and 4?
February 21, 2020 at 17:49
Wait, let me correct. It's legal for finite, not infinite
