For us, then, that is nonexistence (i.e. fiction (e.g. ghosts)). 'Cosmogenic speculations' change far more rapidly in response to more precise and mor...

Physical space is not "infinitely" divisible like abstract space. Like most paradoxes, this one is merely apparent – it's derived from confusing the p...
How do we know that the universe (multiverse) is not "self existent"? :smirk: Suppose the universe (multiverse) itself is, in fact, 'Spinoza-Einstein'...
