I understand that life is simply the result of evolution, but there is a reason to everything and that is what the issue is. We can debate purpose, bu...
Purpose appears to be relative. A purpose can be given, though some creations could have been made with clear purpose in mind. Even in those cases, th...
Well, I would expect there to be issues with metaphysics. After all, if we had solid evidence that could explain it, it would be labeled physics inste...
I like to see the world as a natural machine. While the machine itself might not have purpose, it works and the components making the machine each hav...
Since we appear to be using metaphors as the best way to understand the situation, why not explain it in metaphors as well? A belief is the bedrock an...
I suppose it is strange to think that something would occur without a purpose. After all, everything has a cause and it would be logical to conclude t...
As a government with officials elected by the populace, it is theoretically acceptable to trust the government. Unfortunately reality is different and...
One of the biggest issues of the U.S. is space. The U.S. is enormous, enough to fit in multiple other countries. Prioritizing the individual or the st...
It is true that the educated man back in those times often dabbled in many subjects. Now we focus on single subjects individually and come together in...
Your right, I’m not a physicist, but nonsense like the things I post can get surprisingly good answers such as the explanations from Gnomon and Prothe...
I just realized, heat is the movement of particles then wouldn’t the core of the star be cooler because the pressure restricts movement? As a result l...
All particles are moving to some extent in what we call heat, so it wouldn’t be too out there to say that all matter is what matter does. We use it in...
That is strange. According to the conservation of energy, fusion would generally consume energy in order to build the molecules/atoms right? Perhaps w...
This whole thing reminds me of when I first came to understand heat. High school teaches heat makes particles move more quickly without explaining the...
Converting mass to energy is essentially disintegrating the bonds between the atoms in the bomb within a short time and space, resulting in large quan...
Considering the real world, ethics may just be a privilege. I just recently read a scenario which seems relevant in which there was essentially an apo...
That does make sense. On top of that you also mentioned e=mc2 and matter is energy. It’s interesting how mass is usually associated with matter, but i...
I understand that much, but the issue is the reality here in that matter appears to able to sub divide indefinitely, providing no concrete foundation....
I don’t have much to say about society as a whole except humans will be humans and we can’t expect everyone to be perfect. I guess it would be enough ...
The concept of good people reminds me of the criminal justice class I took. The idea behind the development of a criminal includes many factors includ...
What I’ve always found interesting is when my high school textbooks always described light energy as having both particle and wave characteristics wit...
Wouldn’t that be because a neutron is too small to actually encounter any of the matter within our bodies? It’s like a comet flying through space, the...
Oh, icons sounds like a pretty good way to describe it. Though we see things by using light, which according to my understanding are collections of sp...
I’ve thought about that too. What’s interesting about that would be when parts of the body are separated. Often you hear stories about people who lose...
I used to be religious and one of the intriguing things I took from that experience was that when they explained past actions that contradict modern t...
Some people simply don’t feel the need to have love. Or maybe they believe that this world cannot provide the love they desire. It isn’t necessarily a...
When I think about emotional topics I tend to focus on the more “scientific” approach first to help organize my thoughts. In the case of life and deat...
I called it obvious because I can easily prove that there is something there. Even though everything we perceive is a model created by our brains thro...
Who knows? I could chalk it up to coincidence or mental redirecting. I could even go super metaphysical about it all and talk about how our thoughts a...
Off the top of my head, I see philosophy as an educated guess taken further. Philosophy is called philosophy and not a theory because it lacks enough ...
Maybe, though it’s interesting how there are just random things that I just take mental note of and then watch how those things become recurring event...
Late comment, but many asian mythological creatures are chimeras, in the sense that they are composed of many characteristics from several different a...
I’m not a physics major or anything like that, but I find it fun to think about these things. It’s true that the only way to really observe time is th...
