What If a kid has an excellent life, full of happiness and the only harm he faces is his death at the end! Would you count again in that cases, harm and happiness with the same way?? If you were an unborn kid and had the "option" what would you choose? I would choose "yes" I ensure you. — dimosthenis9

The choice depends on the circumstances I would get thrown in. If these were those in which my fate was brim I would think twice before chosing to give it a try.

Curry's paradox: If chicken curry doesn't contain curry it is still a curry chicken.

Big mammals in a zoo normally don't get children. What a mystery! They just feel they are put between fences and walls, in an unnatural (artificial) habitat. Which mammal in their right mind will have children? I know I wouldn't.

If I look to your brain I can nothing but conclude that the thinking you perceive finds place inside the brain inside of you. YFor you, on the other hand, thinking finds place inside of you. Not inside your brain.

There is no downside to death, — boagie

I wouldn't say that. No more TPF. No more heroes. No more thoughts about quantum physics. No more carrot cake. No more walking the dog. No more painting. No more watching children play. -No more Coldplay, Rammstein, Killing Joke, Doors, Satie, Nat King Cole or System of a down. Not to forget Allanis Morrisette. Or Nina Hagen. No more loving. No more realizations...

Only the grim rebirth that awaits. To re-experience the growth to adulthood never to be obtained. Maybe I like death!

The observing is the cause of the information — Pop

Then what's the cause of the information in the observer? If information is interaction will not the form of the superposition (and its collapse) form a patternn (by interaction or per se) in the mind's world?

What interactions will particles force to form a circle? Or a squaere?

"Math has a fatal flaw" Youtube video on intuitionists, formalists, Hilbert, Gödel, etc.

How to describe the unscribable? If you can describe it isn't it describable? I mean, if you answer this question don't describe it?

You need an observer or a measuring device. — Pop

The superposition can collapse iñto the one that gives life or the one that gives life independently of observers or measuring devices. The cat can thus be dead or alive without us observing or measuring. Of course we will only know upon observing but this observing is not the cause. Some interaction apart from us or measuring device can make the superposition collapse (even the vacuum can do that).

The order of the wire minus its entropy. I think. — Pop

Interesting! Whats the order? Form?

Not until somebody interacts with it. Think Schrodinger's cat. — Pop

Schrõdinger's cat is a bit old-fashioned. The particle needs interaction (an observer is not needed) to localize the wavefunction. The cat can die too if we dont look.

How will you know about it without the information describing it? — Pop

Well,withou me being informed (informationed?) the particle can still exist.

It used to be that everything was matter, then due to Maxwell, Einstein, and Rutherford, etc. matter became equal to energy — Pop

But energy is a particle too. Photons are pure energy, not moving in time. The can give their energy, their pure energy to massive particles like electrons which change their state of motion (the pure energy, kinetic energy through space only, is changed in kinetic energy through space and time). I can't see information in a single isolated particle. If non-interacting its wavefunction will get dispersed over space (or localized in momentum space).

because everything is information. — Pop

Do you think even an elementary particle is information?

Drink up – it's always later than you think! seems to me a 'good philosophy' anywhere, anytime, at sunrise or sunset. "Let's change the mood from glad to sadness" :death: :flower: — 180 Proof

And after, let's change it back again. To feel even better than ever. Let life run freely. Let's play! :heart:

Systems are informationally created bottom up, and then they interact laterally with all other systems in the same manner. They are totally enmeshed together. Movement in one system spreads throughout the others, causing what is popularly known as the Butterfly effect. — Pop

That gets really close. As Prishon rightly claimed, all organism are formed between the heat of the Sun and the cold of space on the other side of the Earth. The Earth rotates and faces the heat, the cold, the heat, the cold, etc. The periodic flow of heat (inward, outward, inward, outward, etc.) creates the huge variety of patterns in organisms. Not total order nor total chaos but in between. All organisms posses the same relative entropy (just a number) but they show a wide biodiversity. The butterfly effect makes them diverge away from each other. The need each other to realize themselves. A bee is the same as a whale and at the same time completely different. You're not alone... :smile:

Is it even worth it to engage with these people? — Xtrix

The universe was created. Who says this didn't happen 6000 years ago? If they think this is what happened... Why shouldn't I engage with them? Of course I won't argue about the creation how they view it. But I know a lot of other means to engage with creationists. Especially when they are female (though I don't think they will like me being married, nor do I think will my wife approve...).

It's wrong to have more than two children. Once only a milion people walked the Earth. Nowadays more than 7000 times as many. Compare with other mamals. Earth has food enough for every one but more than 2 children will make the population explode on a local and global scale.

G]ravity, also called gravitation, in mechanics, the universal force of attraction acting between all matter — Zugzwang

Gravity is not an inertial force like electromagnetism or the color and hypercolor charge. It is the varying metric of 4D spacetime. Maybe the three mentioned forces are associated with a varying metric too (of a curled up space) but this is questionable. The associated gauge particles are spin 1 particles, contrary to spin 2 gravitons taking care of the varying metric of large 4D spacetime. The effect of the three base forces is what is actually felt as force. Gravity alone not.

Yes, we approach and try to surround these events thanks to science. — PoeticUniverse

Without science I can approach and try to surround these events too. So can my dog.

Alas, poor VincePee! I knew him, forum members, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. — T Clark

I know him too!.Crazy motherfucker! Let me tell you.

Why was there a big bang? To let the universe develop?
