Somehow the PD reminds me of a situation in the steel industry. TATA Steel made a model of it exhausts. When measurements were made, the actual values were different: 5 to 1000 times as much!

Wow! That's exactly what I mean!

The picture would have been even more logical if you gave a, b, and c circular forms. Start with c in b (small circle c in circle b). The a, as the biggest circle, around them. Or outside them. Then let a move out (or in).

To solve for time use the formula for time, t = d/s which means time equals distance divided by speed." — Josh Alfred

Isn't s, the speed, already involving t?

Yeah, a man always pressing fake news is probably himself spreading it. I heard that he wants to go for president again. Will the people still buy that? Or are they truly blinded?

Man! The man of fake news!

not sure if you're joking or being serious? — MAYAEL

Serious! I seriously think physical charges are the base for consciousness. And I seriously believe quarks and leptons are composite particles. Two massless base fields can explain all elementary particle interactions. Just give me one such reaction.

What's the great mystery about time?

Pondering — jgill

Ha! Ain't that killing time?

How are math theorems found? By looking at nature? By proof? Before the proof? Is there a general method? Is there a mathematical ToE, a ToAM?

The double slit experiment is horse crap
They have never been able to track a single photon infact we have never seen a photon the photon remains a hypothesis not a fact and so the entire experiment is a BS story — MAYAEL

It are exactly the BS stories that are the nicest in physics! What you said about glowing unicorns is actually very to the point. If the experiment is done with electrons even more (no one has seen them either). Electrons can be considered as triplets of massless charges, Various kinds of them. And it are exactly charges that give rise to mass and consciousness. As they don't like being watched they hide under the comforting wave function, giving them shelter and direction while longing for other charges.

Kind of feels like lots of people fear the big questions. They have trouble as we all do with the humdrum stuff so thinking about our significance as a people is just too much to think about. — TiredThinker

Most people don't have anything on their mind. Some do though. Which doesn't make them more or less. The modern day mind is emptier than ever. While there are more than ever before. Empty minds are compensated by material excess. The world has never seen such a material load as these days. The minds have never been so empty. And listen to the "grown up talk". Pretending to conform to the scientific imperative. Ugly language. We gotta live with it. The best conversations are those with our dog or cat. Or if you lucky, a gentle wife. Who points you to the shadows on the curtain against the bright morning sun. Of two birds in the trees behind it.

With TD in mind, time is "very, very, very, varied — Josh Alfred

:smile:

I think you have to create a brain for that. Which we can't. An amazing piece of AI nevertheless!

Then the dream is the hyper hyper reality.

Can time be a variable? How do you vary time?

This is the inception of hyper-reality. It blows my mind. Automatically generating virtual realities — Josh Alfred

This is just programmed virtual reality. No hyper reality is involved.

If all seas are bees, are all non-bees non-seas? If one sea is a bee then a non-bee can still be a sea. Two bees or not two bees, that's the question.

All Seas are Beas" implies "All non-Beas are non-Seas" — TonesInDeepFreeze

What if all Seas are real numbers and Beas are complex ñumbers? Are all non-complex numbers non real numbers then?

Experience is created when the result of computation is presented to our mind. Thus, we can imagine something and experience it internally, or we can delegate imagination to the AI technology but keep experience to ourselves. — pfirefry

There is nothing computed in the brain. The brain, contrary to computers, offers an active medium for the physical world to project a physical state in, by means of the body that lies in between. Litterally every physical process has a potential analogue on the neuron network, which can run around autonomously or resonate with a physical process.

Walk to them. Say hallo. Give them a punch.

Our newest Telescope, Webb's, will reveal more about the nature of time and the beginning of our universe (cosmology). — Josh Alfred

What will it reveal about the nature of time? Ain't that clear?

What have you learned from Krauss? I think he talks nonsense and offers no solution for dark energy. What is the nothing he talks about?

Why not?

Well, the time between 300 years ago (YA) and now seems pretty steep. That implies the is more enformation nowadays than 300 YA. I see more chaos though nowadays.

I was exactly referring to a temporally infinite one. Why can't that be created from nothing too?

the Unmoved Mover — Paine

This corresponds to the perfect clock present before the inflationary phase in big bang cosmology. His eternal circular motion is a related concept too. The unmoved mover is considered a person though. Considering his view on motion, he would have been a hot theoretical physicist in these days.

Maybe an interest question too: does an infinite universe exclude creation out of nothing? In other words, can an infinite universe be created by God?

Thanks for the quote!

Can we say, very concisely, that the Platonic forms were sought on Earth, by Aristotle, instead of in out-wordly "mathematical heaven" where Plato positioned them?

It can be bang after bang too. Without crunch, but more tasty!

Aristotle and Other Platonists. — Apollodorus

Ha! Nice title!

Ah sorry! Forgot. Look here

Does the link work?

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/16265/1/Aristotle_and_Quantum_Mechanics.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjClNuQtsH1AhXWgnIEHWdKB6UQFnoECAQQBg&usg=AOvVaw3w6hUue67b4MdYIOLuSd6F

Seems he even anticipated quantum mechanics!

Aristotle himself used this antinomy to develop his understanding of movement: it is a fluent continuum that he considers to be a whole. ... The claim of quantum mechanics is precisely that: movement is quantized; things move or change in non-reducible steps, the so-called quanta.

Then the ultimate reason must be the gods. An infinite universe necessitates previous universes. A finite universe is a brute artifact. Only gods can create an infinite universe. A necessity.

Dunno. You tell me.

Did he really talk about a never ending circular motion?

What's the necessity for infinite existence? And what's the brute contingency in the case of coming from nothing? A coming from nothing in the finite case is in need of further physical explanation. An infinite universe delivers such cause. How can a finite universe come into existence without a preceding time?

Can't gods create a spatiotemporally infinite universe from nothing?

Some Ayes are Bees
All Seas are Bees — DavidJohnson

What about bees swimming in all seas? Aye!

because unicorns are self-conscious and don't like being watched when they're doing their thing — MAYAEL

Exactly! That's why they hide beneath the wave function.

Do the two alternatives encompass possible reasons? Maybe the something from the nothing does. But can't you apply something from the nothing to an infinite universe also. Nothing, and then "logos, bang!"an infinite universe. "Then" not taken literally.
