The spiritual is founded on the material. Even teilhard leaned in this direction

Was Spinoza holding us back? Purpose has nothing to do with science, and synthesis in natures has nothng to do with the infinite divisibilty of the fi...

If the Plank length has any length at all, it has a front and back. Divide further. The descent goes on forever in a finite space. Hence our contradic...

The division goes on forever. Physics assigns a lowest limit we can fathom. Gee are you guys computers, or just think with Hobbean calculation? Comput...

"The principle of the excluded middle has only a scholastic and heuristic value, so that theorems that in their proof cannot avoid the use of this pri...

If things are purely finite, there is a smallest unit of space. That is impossible though because you just divide it further. If you can't it's zero a...

1) Things are composed of infinite parts 2) For rigor, we can use Cantor's arguments for taking infinities out of infinities 3) So Banach-Tarski comes...

If you infinitely divide an object and line the pieces up largest to smallest, what is at the far end?

I think we can know what an orange is, and that it doesnt have less volume when cut in half. It can be so divided infintely, so it's infinite AND fini...

The infinite divisibility of objects, which even Aristotle admitted was real, means all objects are infinite within finite bounds. My claim is that th...

If I were to to move to the bed, I have to move half that. If there is no half, then I am already there! There is NOTHING that stops this process. Cal...

Godel says that mathematics is either contradictory or incomplete. I think it's clear that there is a contradiction in the first step of geometry

The Beatle song Here Comes the Sun has been analyzed over and over by music experts, but anyone can listen to it and get stuff out of it from their ow...

Now people are saying objects have no size. Oh boy! Bertrand Russell on the Axiom Of Choice: "At first it seems obvious, but the more you think about ...

Zenos paradox shows the infinity within the finitude of objects. The fact we can break a candy bar in two shows this applies to our world. That is eno...

In Quantum Psychology by Robert Anton Wilson, he writes that we have a thought of ourselves, and a thought of that image, and on to infinity. Math can...

Math merely floats over Zeno's paradoxes because they are about logic, not math. Zeno is a shortcut to Banach Tarski

The axiom of choice results from the infinite divisibility of objects. The fact that the object is still finite is why banach tarski is a paradox.

One of Kant's antimonies (which means ideas that have only contradiction in them) is about this very subject

Mathematical equations don't really deal with this problem. This has to do with matter. Split a banana in two and the two halves equal the whole banan...

Standing in between two mirrors, someone can easily see Aristotle was wrong about Zeno. Yet the mirrors are finite.

Irrational numbers are not only irrational, but they go on forever while spatially being finite. The same applies to pi and the circumference in the s...

Numbers apply to the world. One microphone is not two. Points show that objects in the world are both infinite and finite. Escher paintings exist but ...

"The world is unlike unto itself.. the one is the sphere of appearance... We have to think pure flux, opposition within opposition itself, or Contradi...

To apply infinity to matter in the universe seems unavoidable. Irrational numbers too go on forever. So Aristotle is wrong. Non-organic things can onl...

Calculus tries to make "many" (understood spatially) into something else. So calculus seems to be in error. But does not my opinion on this lead to no...

Hegel united hericlitus with parmenides. This is related to the math because volume deals with the world. Parmenides famously said you can't think not...

"Complex analysis" (where complex means "having both real and imaginary parts") is hard to justify because we get our math from the world, where many ...

According to Russell, it was Weierstrass who banished points from calculus. I don't see how it worked without them though. Weierstrass said a continuo...

"It is never moving, but in some miraculous way the change of position has to occur between the instants, that is to say, not at any time whatever" sa...

“motion can be understood as the position occupied by an object in a continuous series of points in a continuous series of instants.”; Bertrand Russel...

To have no length is by definition to not exist in the realm of geometry, and also geometry obviously applies to the physical world. Russell said at t...

My dad, i, and my twin brother all independently thought of Zenos dichotomy before we read of him. Thoughts like that caused my mind strabismus, which...

Is God the nexus, or other dimensions (as in the other world's interpretation of QM)?? Zeno's stadium paradox, when applied to the smallest unit of sp...

If God created the world, he created a dualism or hybrid of finitude and infinity.

"If the fractional times decrease in a harmonic series, while the distances decrease geometrically, such as: 1/2 s for 1/2 m gain, 1/3 s for next 1/4 ...

Zeno's argument is really about Aristotle's "common sense" understanding of the world. In calculus numbers are not added one at a time. The value/limi...

"If we look back on what consciousness formerly took upon itself, and now takes upon itself, what is previously ascribed to the thing, and now ascribe...

If a guy (like Hume did) said that force was an undefinable thing, can we really say he is making no claims about ontology?

The only authors i know are avicenna, aveoroes, and the writer of the incoherence of the philosophers

To try to get a conversation going...: Hume replaced Allah in the Islamic occassionalist system with matter as the prime mover (following Hobbes's on ...

See David Braine's book

Absolute time would prove there has to be a God I think. I believe in absolute space but see no necessity to believe in absolute time

In the middle ages they thought an object, when sensed, was actually in the soul of the subject

Most mathematicians think that infinities are logically consistent. I don't think they know much about the, but the contradictions can be resolved. Co...

If life and basic conscious-ness can come from matter, who knows what else it can do. Nature is inscrutable to normal cognition. You think you know ma...

Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. — Albert Einstein

To leap to panpsychism or deism is to assert you understand matter completely. Matter maybe be able to do what an intelligence can do. Who knows!

Theists don't just say that God allows evil. God sustains the world. So God is right their sustaining the murderer, the rapist, and sexual sinner as t...
