I disagree, but that is the nature of the world. You wanted evidence, I gave it to you. Do what you wish with it, including ignoring it. For those who wish to follow this line of inquiry, they are free to do so — Rich
So assume that I am sitting, nice and still, meditating. I decide that it's time to get up. So I suddenly stand up and walk away. How does my memory suddenly cause the waves which are necessary to move my body? The cause is not some surrounding waves, or non-local activity, because it comes from right within my mind. A particular, separate, and independent wave must be created right at this very locale, and this wave spreads outward into the surrounding area as I get up and walk away — Metaphysician Undercover
The image that would analogue this would be the Ocean Wave with Gravity embedded within it to create movement. — Rich
Can you describe the "Ocean Wave"? In your model, is there a wave which initiates from a point, like when you drop a pebble in water, or is there just perturbations in existing waves? If there is such a wave, which initiates from a point, what would cause this wave? — Metaphysician Undercover
As you can see, with this model there is no discreteness. — Rich
I suppose this means that there can be no beginning point of a wave. Such a beginning would be a discrete occurrence. — Metaphysician Undercover

Well, in easy words to me the whole paradox is asked wrongly, if we go into the deep logics we can see that if we clap our hands together , we our moving with accelerating velocity or in a constant velocity not in an instantaneous decelerating velocity . according to the paradox if we have our distance every time we will never reach the end and that is true. but in normal case we never half our distance or velocity instantaneously .So that is the reason our hands meet in the end. — zoya
but in normal case we never half our distance or velocity instantaneously — zoya
try this yourself try to join one of your hand with another by halving the distance , you will never reach your hand. thats the reason i discussed deceleration . halving the distance at every instant means you are decelerating instantaneously. if we do that we would never ever reach our other hand. — zoya
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
