So many ways to look at one single question when each word can have so many different meanings, it looks different from different perspectives, pulls ...
Problem is that it is not saying much, if anything at all. I could say time and change are two sides of the same coin. And now what? Can either be pro...
https://www.iep.utm.edu/zeno-par/ -- "In the Achilles Paradox, Achilles races to catch a slower runner—for example, a tortoise that is crawling in a l...
https://www.iep.utm.edu/zeno-par/ -- "Because many of the arguments turn crucially on the notion that space and time are infinitely divisible, Zeno wa...
That is fine, except for Zeno. Those paradoxes are still very relevant in the deepest metaphysical sense, they are exactly the test you need to apply ...
Any, and that you do not "see” that makes me think you are a robot, but explains why you can not infer continuity and infinite divisibility are one an...
I repeat, Zeno did not make any assumptions, and if you again disagree without actually saying what assumption do you think he made I will conclude yo...
That's fine, except for Zeno's paradoxes. The world seems to be digital at the bottom of it, and if we are to believe in contemporary physics, that is...
Apparently not true, as explained in my previous post. Perhaps if there were video games and virtual reality in 19th century Pierce would know what me...
Imagine a single photograph represents your conscious instant of visual perception. You put your finger in front and left of your nose and move it to ...
This has no impact on the argument, I think, but it is quite possible we are only aware as a sequence of conscious instants in time. Motion can then b...
That’s right. The issue is this should be self-evident and the problem is people just don’t understand the words. If they did it would be clear “abstr...
I said Zeno did not make any assumptions, and time is either analog or digital, where analog, continuous, and infinitely divisible is all one and the ...
You failed to mention any reason behind your statement. Zeno is not making any assumptions, and his arguments are indeed about infinite divisibility, ...
Peirce is talking gibberish. You only ever directly perceive a physical thing moving from point A to point B, and in no way anything about it suggests...
Does any of those guys ever consider the applicability of their concepts of time? He is still talking about the same thing, just awkwardly, and at the...
speed = distance / time So now I explained how time is in fact not an illusion. What the hell am I doing here when I have more meaningful conversation...
Neither the process nor that it has begun was focus of my point, but infinite set the process is assembling and the fact that it can never be complete...
It is located in the brain just like simulated crocodile is located inside the computer and just like representations of actors are located inside a T...
You are referring to the concept of infinity that can not actually exist, by definition. The concept does not represent a thing to exist or not exist,...
We can talk about infinity in percentages though. For example, if time and space are infinite, would there be more planets that are completely identic...
Involving infinity neither side of the argument can be semantically valid. One side wants to count from the beginning where there is no beginning, and...
Right. So if we don’t make any assumptions and instead choose arbitrary resolution and size we can make conclusions related to that specific resolutio...
Now this is funny. Don't you see that is exactly what I'm saying? All I have to do is set my arbitrary resolution to planck scale and define the arbit...
I’m not sure if that article makes one interesting distinction about the abstraction algorithm called “visual perception”. There are colors, clearly a...
And I am not arguing what you are refuting. I want to set up a basic unambiguous premise we can all agree with and thus have some starting point. So, ...
Can any information be digitally encoded? The answer is yes, and to arbitrary given precision. My monitor can indeed represent any and every possible ...
While it is true that abstract concepts only exist in minds as mental entities, minds themselves have no other source of information than the actualit...
That is not the answer, just refusal to accept the premise of the question, and is beside the point since the bottom resolution can be fixed to arbitr...
Yes. As far as we can see integer numbers are instantiated or mapped to the real world, how do you find it reasonable to assume this relation abruptly...
I’m repeating the question so you don’t fool yourself that you have answered it. No. You claimed there are objects that my monitor can not represent, ...
You keep avoiding the question. If my monitor is limited to show only some of all the possible objects, what is it about those remaining objects that ...
Maybe time just goes in circles? It's not my goal to prove anything, it's all the same to me. I just like mysteries and here is some mystery it's not ...
Maybe this will be easier to think about, and it's also about 'time' this time. Imagine there exists an encyclopedia of all the particles in the unive...
It’s not about size. Infinitely large square we can scale down to arbitrary small size without omitting any information, or even fully describe it jus...
You are on the right track now, just wrong side of the equation. The number of pixels is finite and so is the number of their combinations, that part ...
You are not addressing the problem. What part of the universe you could not potentialy see on your monitor? You can either name what kind of object or...
You don't get it, you can zoom in as much as you wish in arbitrary small steps. You can also forget photographs and imagine all the knowledge there is...
I'm not sure. If those are anything like Zeno's paradoxes, then yes, and that does seem related from the perspective of spatial continuity - analog vs...
It bothers me. However, whatever new information that mystery holds, I do not see how it can possibly disprove what we can conclude with some standard...
