• Material Space & Complex Time


    :up:

    I'm struggling still with some things you offer, brother ucarr. But at least you offer something new and interesting. That's how philosophy should be! I'll be back! There's a little lady dog staring me in the face with asking eyes. "Wanna walk daddy!" Woofwoof!!!
  • Can there be a proof of God?
    Maybe you could start providing claims (the more the better) that others can then go out and check?jorndoe

    How can others check the experience? I can only tell it. And the tale told was pretty convincing though the wish might be the father of the dream. Anyhow, it was a wonderful dream.

  • Can there be a proof of God?
    didn't merely say it exists at all times it exists. I said it never DOESN'T exist. There is no time prior to its existence, and it never ceases to exist.Relativist

    But there are two different kinds of time. The emergent causal thermodynamic time and the non-directional, fluctuating time state before that. It doesn't make sense to say the TD timeless state exists in time. That timeless state doesn't need time to be created. It doesn't exist in your time-framed way. It's in direct contact with heaven. Though here I maybe go a bit to far.

    You sentence does not even make sense syntacticallyTobias

    Oh dear mother of god... This shows even clearer your seriously distorted and hopelessly confused ignorant attitude towards a discipline you cowardly conforming reduce to a set of prescribed standard rules with with you measure to eagerly show fallacies, syntax errors, logical flaws, contradictions, inconsistencies and incongruencies, non sequiturs, and other made up gimmicks to proof your inherent superiority. I leave it here. Nothing to be gained here. Neither philosophically, scientifically, or theologically. Goodday...
  • Can there be a proof of God?
    You're free to believe whatever, but you're not going to convince anyone else by this methodology.jorndoe

    The difficulty is that the inner experience, the dream, is of another quality than experiences in the sciences. We can all see the stone falling to Earth or the diffraction pattern behind the double slit. At the same time, mass psychosis can rule supreme in the sciences and one sees what one wishes for badly. How can we establish a theological methodology, like a scientific methodology?

  • Can there be a proof of God?
    You proved nothing. You just related an experience. Since I do not have that experience you proved nothing.Jackson

    Ah, because you didn't experience that. Well then, what more can I say...
  • Can there be a proof of God?
    I do not understand this sentenceJackson

    You say that if I tell you I saw gods in my dreams showing heaven and the reason for creation is no proof. I ask you to reconsider. Why is that no proof? Because I can lie about it?
  • Can there be a proof of God?
    Clearly, that is what I meant.Jackson

    That the experience is no proof? Then you need to reconsider your proof.
  • Would an “independent” thinker be wiser than an academic/famous philosopher?
    Well, my bet is that the person versed in metaphysics will write something more interesting than the chemist. She will just give me a lot of chemistry stuff.Tobias

    Why would that be more interesting? It completely depends. Who tells the best story. That doesn't need to be the metaphysician.
  • Can there be a proof of God?
    A proof is not the mere telling about one's experience.Jackson

    The mere telling is no proof no. But the experience is.

    Ethan Siegel: Surprise: the Big Bang isn’t the beginning of the universe anymore (Oct 13, 2021)jorndoe

    I could have told him that two years ago already.
  • Can there be a proof of God?
    Therefore it is not a proof.Jackson

    For you not. For me yes. No, for you too. If I have seen gods in my dream, how you proof it's not directly from the gods. I can proof it is. Because they showed me the true reality of nature.
  • Would an “independent” thinker be wiser than an academic/famous philosopher?
    Philosophy is different from the currently popular but vapid 'having my own philosophy'. It is just a fancy word for 'opinion' in this case.Tobias

    Every philosophy is one's own. There is no independent true philosophy hanging around somewhere with objective standards of what good philosophy is. The fact that you're hopelessly confused that philosophy is about arguing makes this seriously clear.
  • Would an “independent” thinker be wiser than an academic/famous philosopher?
    Wins what? A philosophical argument? Not at all. This just shows you are pretty hopeless at philosophy.Tobias

    I don't mind. I'm not into arguing.
  • Can there be a proof of God?


    To you, yes. For me no.
  • Can there be a proof of God?


    You can see them in dream epihany. Quantum mechanis offers the possibility. There are no laws contradicted. You might hear them speak. I consider that proof.
  • Can there be a proof of God?
    I don't care, it's just semantics. My fundamental point is that it's coherent to say material reality exists at all times and this precludes it being caused.Relativist

    It's not just semantics. Existing at all times is not existing eternally. Of course something exists as long as it exists so at all times there are. How else can it be.

    That's the nature of all "proofs" of God: they depend on debatable metaphyical assumptions, made conveniently by theists to convince themselves they've "proven" God.
    Relativist

    Not all proofs of god assume the gods before.

    The schizophrenic is drowning in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight. — Joseph Campbell

    The mystic hears the music in the water and swims while dancing. If you can't hear the music it's hard to dance.
  • Would an “independent” thinker be wiser than an academic/famous philosopher?
    You can do it very well without doing philosophyTobias

    Every physicist has his/her (unconscious) philosophy on nature.
  • Would an “independent” thinker be wiser than an academic/famous philosopher?
    She will just give me a lot of chemistry stuff.Tobias

    That depends on the chemistry. If she points at the chemistry of patterns in spike potentials and the chemistry involve in firing motor neurons, their relation and the chemistry of motion and perception, added with the chemistry of emotions, memory trails, and the happenings in a mushroomed brain, she wins.

    I gave a lot of answers last night. And I asked the question right now. I posted but not questioned. Only a short question will do. I dont get the system yet. Ill try again.
  • Bootstrap Philosophy and Goeffrey Chew.
    thought you had posted lots of questions on Quora but I could only find examples of your answers to questions posted by others.
    When I searched for you under 'questions,' I got no hits.

    I never understood why he didn't get the Nobel prize for general relativity. He made that on his own! Of course the math was there, and the Lorenz equations. Coming to think of it, he only said the speed of light is constant in every frame... leading to curvature of space.

    Yes you're right. The example was not well chosen. What about Einstein in his clerk office? A romantic idea?

But its conspicuous that galaxies without dark matter have been found and the bullet cluster contains two separate DM volumes.

    The gods life eternally. No first reason necessary. Eternal intelligence itself is reason. My serial big bang is inspired by the divine longing to watch eternally to their creation. The torus vision I saw in that divine dream.
