The first is the third character and the third is the first character. Thus any x2x is solution with x<>2. Or the special solution 111.

But the question is, what is a brain? Does a jellyfish have a brain? Does a jellyfish have mental states? Is an electronic brain a brain? Does your co...

Also a physical object consists of particles, thus the distinction makes no sense. I have already presented the solution. Every particle and also ever...

The difference between classical probability and quantum mechanics is interference and this refutes the concept of a pure notion of the wave function....
December 01, 2021 at 17:42
Interference has also been demonstrated for molecules. Inside the molecule, however, the atoms interact with each other and would collapse the wave fu...

This is not an argument against monism. The fact that a circle is not a square is also no argument against geometry. Monism means that everything cons...

In Bohmian mechanics, in the ground state of hydrogen, the electron is at rest relative to the proton. However, the electric dipole is not measurable,...

What would be in heaven then? That is, by definition, a life without pain. But such a life should not be possible => You have contradicted yourself.
November 19, 2021 at 12:38
From the point of view of an electron, you would have a reduced wave function, which does not mean that an electron is conscious. It is only the idea ...

As I have described, the universal wave function does not collapse, the observer-specific one does. All paradoxes dissolve, if each observer has his o...
November 19, 2021 at 09:46
Maybe you can just look at it this way: There is a universal wave function of the universe, where everything is only probabilities. However, every sin...

It is not about atoms. Why can't a single free electron interact with radio waves or infrared radiation in the apparatus?
November 16, 2021 at 09:42
One always has interactions with radio waves or neutrinos. How then can there ever be interference patterns?
November 16, 2021 at 09:17
One should consider the Bohmian mechanics. But after the measurement empty wave functions arise. But since one already knows where the particle is, th...

Is it possible that a star has a wave function that is distributed over the whole galaxy? I don't see any mathematical problem there. Either it is pos...

Just think classic: Wigner's friend is standing in front of the box with the cat. Its condition is only a probability for him. When he opens it, this ...
November 12, 2021 at 15:27
It is irrefutable that only a consciousness brings the wave function to collapse. The consciousness connects here with the electronic eye and brings a...

God could fulfill all three. Imagine a sadist who takes pleasure in torturing others. God does not prevent it, because free will. Nevertheless, God co...
November 08, 2021 at 10:39
Unfortunately also wrong. This mistake is made by almost everyone except me. If the "only good" would not exist, then heaven would not exist either. A...
November 06, 2021 at 14:15
It does not. But it seems to contradict the all-goodness.
November 06, 2021 at 10:49
The devil, if he exists, is also the will of God.
November 06, 2021 at 10:09
Everything is the will of God, therefore rape is also the will of God. And the rapist is logically the instrument for it.
November 06, 2021 at 09:45
When we have a rape, the rapist is not only having fun, but also carrying out the will of God. He does not need to have a guilty conscience. It is the...
November 06, 2021 at 08:20
So you really believe that throughout history there has not been a single case of an innocent victim being tortured to death because God would have in...
November 05, 2021 at 09:09
So it is more important for God to allow free will than to protect the victims of violent acts?
November 05, 2021 at 03:08
Melvin Udall in "As Good as It Gets": "I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability." Joking aside. Since I do not believe that there i...

Every mind we know has a material carrier. Why should God be an exception?
October 26, 2021 at 11:42
Everything that thinks has nonlinear components, we know from experience. Consequently, God is not an element of experience. Thus no element for scien...
October 26, 2021 at 11:29
That is laudable that you try to explain the communication, but that does not explain WHAT God is. The core question is HOW God thinks. Does It have n...

Now God is suddenly female? And where exactly does Her omnipotence intervene for women's rights?
October 26, 2021 at 11:07
If God already has no gender, why doesn't "It" stand up for women's rights more?
October 26, 2021 at 11:03
But male and female brains are also (slightly) different, not only the bodies.
October 26, 2021 at 10:51
Let me summarize: People (men and women) see God as male because they are sexists. But they know that God has no gender. Does that sound reasonable?
October 26, 2021 at 10:44
Who? God or human beings?
October 26, 2021 at 10:40
And why is "he" or "He" written then?
October 26, 2021 at 10:39
So I decide which god/gods there are. Funny.
October 26, 2021 at 10:36
One question would also be what gender God is. Does he/she/it have characteristics, how one could decide that?
October 26, 2021 at 10:32
Of course, there is a problem. There's a stone and he can't lift it. If he does lift it, then he has not created one that he cannot lift. Omnipotence ...
October 26, 2021 at 10:07
I don't understand. Can you please write that in the usual bra–ket notation? Especially the minus sign in R2 is strange.
October 20, 2021 at 15:38
The funny thing is that there is never a contradiction if you only look at what arrives in the consciousness. Every consciousness carries out its own ...
October 18, 2021 at 11:41
But no one can say what a measurement is. Whether a measuring instrument is enough, which is heavy enough, or whether only a consciousness completes t...

It only matters if they can feel suffering, because suffering is the definition of conscious life. So: 1) Can dogs feel suffering? 2) Can houseflies f...
October 14, 2021 at 12:46
Would you ask the same question if someone hit their dog? Is the dog even conscious? Why is it self-evident for you that the dog is capable of sufferi...
October 14, 2021 at 06:40
This is not a scientific answer. It is about answering questions through experiments. In philosophy also through thought experiments. What is then you...
October 13, 2021 at 07:05
Simple questions: Does a housefly have consciousness? Does it have feelings? Or is it just a bio-machine? What about plants? Are reactions to the envi...
October 13, 2021 at 06:28
I have written something similar: Imaginary proof of the soul . It proves the existence of an "Ipointer" (or soul) independent of the existence of p-z...

How exactly are you going to determine the cut-off point? One thousandth of an inch? Then true and false depends on the hairstyle.
October 06, 2021 at 08:52
You can also call it "Wadden Sea".
October 06, 2021 at 08:43
I do not understand the question. Obviously, there is sometimes water and sometimes land. So I can't say it's either sea or land.
October 06, 2021 at 08:22
OK, my example was bad. The tidal flats have water at high tide and land at low tide.
