    An electron or muon yesHaglund

    From the physics stack exchange:
    Electrons on the other hand, do have rest mass. It is very confusing when somebody learns about rest mass and thinks electrons can actually be brought to rest. In reality they cannot be. No one has ever experimentally seen an actual electron at rest

    No, they are not observable!universeness

    Which doesn't mean they don't exist. If you go there with the sol you'll get there!

    It's like the cookie dough example. The TOTALITY of the dough cannot expand if it is infinite but individual regions within the dough may be able to 'distort.'universeness

    Infinite dough can get twice as big. Hmmmm...! :yum:

    We will never know if something exists or not if we will never have any way to detect it.
    Here is my coordinate system that indicate where your gods live (1,9,2.5.9.0.0.0.0,1,1,1,1, 10278).
    So is this proof your gods exist?

    How can an electron not be at rest if it returns? It has to be at rest at some moment.

    But we can! We can fly to the observable edge of what we see and go behind the horizon. Like on Earth.

    Ever ran around in a circle? If you had your energy replenished as you ran and your leg muscles were indefatigable then you would pass the same points many many times without starting or stopping.

    I think scientific discoveries are on the peak, the universe is dead place that keeps expanding, meaning we'll never be able to reach any planet, we're stuck on planet earth likely until the Sun dies out.

    new scientific discoveries are limited to areas that are within reach such as AI, robotics and similar, but physics, space, microscopic world and similar is at dead end.
    scientists will struggle very hard to provide any proof that undermine religious beliefs.

    Here is one interesting video about God debate, I find it interesting because it's so hard for scientists to do anything about God:

    I agree.

    My coordinates for your gods are not in this Universe either! So does that mean they don't exist just because you cant observe or detect the place they refer to.

    They can't do anything against gods. That's their frustration...

    But perhaps it doesn't, perhaps there are no real straight lines in a curved Universe.

    universe is according to old beliefs abode of evil spirits, and likely that holds even today when universe is mostly studied by scientists.

    No. It means they don't exist in our universe. They can show themselves but dont exist here.

    A free electron moves in all possible ways. A straight line is one of them.

    I have watched all of the late Christopher Hitches offerings on YouTube many times and he had little difficulty in swatting his theistic opponents in my opinion.
    The best advice I would have given any theist wishing to debate him regarding god would have been DONT! You will lose!
    I don't share your rather pessimistic viewpoints.

    I think you 2 instead of attacking each other it may be better to put forward arguments for and against God's existence, and then collect as much constructive information as possible to defend your argument.
  • Haglund

    I'm not sure the atheist in general accepts my arguments. I consider the fact that we, life, and the universe are there is proof of gods. It can't have caused it's own existence.
  • SpaceDweller

    agree, everything that exists must have a cause and nothing can be the cause of itself.
    therefore nature (universe) did not cause itself.

    Thank you for your comment but Haglund and I remain friends and our dialogue is free and fair with no malice intended or taken. I enjoy debating with him and will continue to do so on other threads.
    His knowledge of cosmology is and always has been detailed and impressive.

    Was writing something in similar lines (except the cosmological part!, but thanks!). The "battle" will continue my friend! :wink:
