    Thanks for the advice. Im using a phone. I think thats the problem. And the cause of me typing wrongly sometimes. These dials are so fu... da.. eeeh small. :). I as a new question about guns. Though I think this has been discussed a 167846 times already and well never reach agreement on that. I had a pressure gun once. If not, a ducklin would still live.

  • Can we see the brain as an analogue computer?
    essentiallyManuel

    "There are no machines in nature. This point was proved decisively when Newton discovered action at a distance."

    Isn' t the connected couple human body and brain (emerged in Nature, insomuch you can still speak of Nature) a machine? Not one made by humans but just evolved slowly. I dont see why action at a distance proves there are no machines. Action at a distance is matter "dominated". What forms the content of matter will always remain a mystery. Though we can feel it!!!
  • Why Was There A Big Bang
    momentJack Cummins

    It didn't all came from a point. Like I suggested in my question that would give the problem of what happened before the bang. What was the kick before? How could there have been a kick if there was no time yet? Was it the unmoved mover? I dont think so. The only way out is the quantum approach. The whole spatially 3d universe once existed around the Planck-sized mouth of a spatially 4d cut-open torus. There were field fluctuations (virtual particles) only. Time went to and fro or up and down. Then BANG!!!. Every virtual pair was driven outwardly on both sides of the torus. In 2d there two circles of matter, normal and anti, inflating away from the mouth. To become real shortly after. Like that multiple bangs can occur. Bang bang bang...
  • Can we see the brain as an analogue computer?
    analogHermeticus

    "Now this is where the interesting things happens. Neurons just go "true" or "false". But these "gates" decide what to do with the true or false. This is where the programming, the algorithm of the brain lies.

    There is no programming. In the sense that a program is going on somewhere in other parts of the brain and that directs the flow of information, like in a digital computer. The information just follows a path of least resistance and this resistance is contained in connection strengths between neurons.

    A further difference is that 1's and0's in a computer are driven by an external potential or voltage and current source. The potential peaks traveling in the brain don't need these (there are just out- and inflows of positive ions through ion channels along the dendrites). A totally different mechanism.
  • Death and Everything Thereafter
    Death is necessary for you to be reborn again and start all over. Desth and birth are touching each other. The moment die I am reborn. Even with hundreds of billions years between them. That"s how long big bangs are separated from each other in time. After the big rip a big bang occurs. No big crunches involved. It could be that a big bang has already occured behind us but that would imply there can be two of me. Wich means that I'm not reborn again.

    It's my guess you are a military man. How can you care so much about others (by getting vaccinated) while at the same time you wear a gun? Guns always worsen the situation, especially in the USA, where unheard teenagers make themselves heard by shooting. This disease is slowly spreading the globe. I can get protection (like the vaccine) by getting a gun too, but this only worsens the situation. Likewise you can argue that vaccinating is good for everyone but this is short-term thinking. In the long run it gives weak people, dying already of a cold.

  • Is reincarnation inevitable?
    Reincarnation means re-entry in the flesh. If the soul is tied to matter it can't transmigrate. But my soul-matter state can apoear again. But not in this universe. A new big bang is needed. There I reapoear again. The moment I die. It takes hundreds of billions of years though...

    "is there really anything considered as God (s)?"

    Yes there is. Really.Is there really only the universe we live in? No. There are gods, dreamtimes, walhallas, quarks, leptons, curved spacetimes, Calabi-Yau manifolds, nirvana, witches, shamans, ghosts, vampires, dadaist programmes, field fluctuations and virtual particles, art, poetry, photographs, a zillion languages (though that number is decreasing rapidly to be taken over by English and math, the allegded native tongue of Nature), Bessel functions, hidden variables, untrue Higgs mechanisms, rishons, lies and deceptions, Tavistock manufactured shocks, deliriums, drugs, visions, dreams, jealousy, parables, allegories, computers, quantum fields of gold, musical trance, false flags and black ops, conspiracies, trains of thoughts, solitude, moonlight drives, strange little girls, Siouxies, Aboriginals, Hopi (though less and less, psychoses (maybe drug induced), euphoria, fears, mosques, temples, proofs, etceteras, and many more. If that is no proof of god, I don't know what is. What is a proof of god? An actual encounter? Who would believe you? Mozes spoke to him. Received messages. There were even mass revelations. But normally they don't show themselves. Especially in these days. They showed themselves to the old Greek untill the One-entity, this monster of Xenphanes replaced them. Still around today...

    "Why the universe is not a proof of human's awareness?"

    Human awareness indeed shapes the universe. It shapes the perception of it. There is not a true shape to create a true perception. Perception and reality are interdependent. But this whole process of percept and shape is a process that is part of a universe created by god(s).They didn't shape the world in a fixed form. Even the Aboriginal dreamtime is a part of it. The big question is though where the gods themselves came from and if we really need them .I don't.

    Which is not to say I need god(s) in whatever I do. They cant tell me what to do, they can't tell me what's right or wrong, they dont inspire me, and they can't tell me or know what's in store, or how to think, etc. I can curse them, talk to them whenever I want, and they might even listen to all of us. But I wont go to hell, that's a place I don't want to go. Nor heaven. I just wanna come back in a new universe and god(s) provide...

    Why do you see I am certainly impressed? My arguments impress but i'm not not impressed by them. Certainly not. Maybe Newton had his reasons but that only shows he didn't understand vis. Vis impressa and vis insita just can't be causing one another as he implies. He just didn't understand force. He knew how to use it. And that's where his mistake originated.
  • Should the state be responsible for healthcare?
    If you pay taxes, the state must be held responsible. They should at least make sure, for people with less money, to be assured of proper medical care. Whatever kind of care is needed or wated (so even witchcraft doctors).

    I pay, OBLIGATORY, 125 euros every month and must pay nevertheless 380 euro as my own contribution! And I have to pay a visit to a shaman myself. That pisses me off! I think I need a doctor... I get stressed by these kinds to worry about (not to think about the destruction of Nature...)

    Translated in Dutch:

    "De kracht wordt ingedrukt". The force is impressed. I would I could contact the guy who wrote that. You either impress or force. The meaning is clear, but hearing that phrase over and over makes the force look as an object. Using these words over and over poisons the mind, like small doses given each time. :)

    The energy of a photon is not lost. In a frame that co-expands with the photon field, then there is conservation of energy. The energy loss is only apparent because the distances between the rishons in our galaxy don't expand along.
