God is our basis of our existence, but is not visible. Compare it to a tree. The basis are the roots, but they are also not visible. How can you understand the workings of a tree if you can't study the basics. That's the same with man. If you don't believe that humanity has invisible roots (god), then you don't grasp the basics and you can never understand humanity properly. — Vincent
You could have 'massaged my doubt a little longer but you use the same 'errors in English' all the tim — universeness
or be learned, a lesson — Hillary
You can however keep helping me with the holes in my physics/cosmology — universeness
What hole of yours you want me to fill, your bla...no, too much! — Hillary
If space and particles are not eternal, that is, not infinite then God is logical explanation — SpaceDweller
erhaps this time, 'that's not my name!!' will keep his name longer! — universeness
Do you honestly think that the 'god does not need an origin,' special plead, is ever going to be accepted by atheists? — universeness
Oh well, brother Uni, life is a long ride on the back of them crazy horses. Who knows where they lead us. We can always jump off and lay our weary heads at rest for a while and just bite a straw. I think I have seen most on this forum by now on which just a handful of people offer there musings without actually listening to each other (you, btw. making an exception, which I truly mean, eventhough you're an atheist...). It gets time to do other things. The thing is, it's kind of addicting and I'm kinda perceptive to that. — Hillary
My advice would be. If you are about to type something which the moderators are probably going to judge inappropriate then dont! Go to the shoutbox! That's what it was made for within extremity guidelines.You think that bla... could be a reason for a ban? — Hillary
Yes that is true. But I thought you were also worth atheist. You said that right? — Vincent
Well, some addictions are good for you, such as addiction to life, to communicating with others, to helping others, addiction to love, addiction to wonderment, addiction to truth seeking. I am just trying to convince YOU PERSONALLY that your addiction to science is far more worthwhile and useful than your dalliances with polytheism. It's time you forgave the current cosmology community for not giving your ToE more of an airing. Learn to love them again and stop wasting your affection on that which has no existence! — universeness
Yes, I said that. But it was part of a play I performed to join the atheist belief and make them admit their own defeat. I started rather pompously, and universeness sensed my play very well. I continued though and almost succeeded, hadn't I revealed the play too early. I couldn't resist when he said that "we surely had many exchanges before", which he said because that wasn't yet the case. And indeed, we have had many many discussions here before.. So I answered, "I think so too!", which settled the score. But I wonder where we would be if I hadn't revealed. I almost got him over! But the clown in me got the upper hand. Again.. — Hillary
You are a poet! — Hillary
I was thinking about the same song and actually hoped you posted it! No kidding! — Hillary
I wonder how well those people who called you an idiot really know you. — universeness
how much effort did you make, to help them understand you better? — universeness
I believe you. I am not suspicious of everything you say, especially in regards to your extensive physics and cosmology knowledge. — universeness
don't mean you're an idiot. Quite the contrary.
I don't like most theists either, but that doesn't mean I deny the existence of god. God is not an old man on a cloud or anything. God is something that connects us all in one way or another. — Vincent
No one really knows me and I've never met anyone who makes the effort to understand me. I also think I've always been with the wrong kind of people — Vincent
That's a tough one. I'm 32 now and I still don't understand myself. I've already put a lot of effort into it, but I like to change my mind, which causes a lot of chaos in my head. And changing your mind often comes across as an idiot. I'm not a good speaker either. Typing it works better — Vincent
Do you ever compare your 32 years with the proposed 13.8 billion since the big bang?
So far, you and I are tiny wee blips in the cosmic calender scale — universeness
Why 6D in particular as opposed to the 10D of string theory?Consider a 6d space. — Hillary
Why 3 curled up or why 3 dimensions of the very small? just as a mirror to the 3 macro dimensions?The first block describes the bulk, the second block the 3 curled up dimensions. — Hillary
I have a serious problem at this point! how can that which is 'virtual' 'fill' anything.the bulk 3d vacuum is filled with virtual particles — Hillary
and the real particles are actually virtual particles with precise momenta and positions and existence in time — Hillary
But maybe for a dollar I might contact Carroll. But it's the very idea that you have to pay to ask. Im curious though for his answer. — Hillary
Can't we make a site for alternative theories of physics? But with respect for the actual theories already in use? — Hillary
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.
