You assume that the universe understands what random, deterministic and causal is. Why?

#1 "Random" can be a subjective term here but I presume you write this in conjunction with your #6? If yes, I'd have to disagree. #6 "Ultimate goal" is a very human-centric term. If you work out at the gym you do it to feel better, loose weight, gain strength - you do it for some goal. We basically do everything to fulfill some goal, you buy food to eat it, you eat to survive, etc but does a Star have a goal? I don't think so, neither does any other non living part of nature has a goal in my opinion. Fine tuning becomes relevant only when looking from the human perspective, I'd lean towards stating that the very idea of fine tuning is irrelevant from Star's or electron's perspective. (I gotta start working out again btw) #2 & #3 One could go even further and speculate that a lot of what we see in physics could be approximations of something different just like Newtonian gravity becomes spacetime curvature in GR we could find that our perception of time is just an approximation of something different... our lack of correct understanding (of time for example) prevents us from grasping "pre" t=0 properly. I put pre in quotes as the concept of "pre" probably doesn't make any sense in the context of t=0. #5 You mean Cosmological Constant? I would say that currently it probably is zero but it's fairly possible it wasn't always zero. #4 There seems to be so many gaps and so many plausible approximations that I have to agree.

Your above post just like the rest of your posts in this thread are an extremely weak attempt at sarcasm meant to discredit a political party. Its so weak that democrats should be thankful for such a clumsy attempt. Hint for the future - try to be at least a little funny when doing this.

It looks like you didn’t take time to look at the ballerina and take some time to think about what Strange and Prometheus are saying. What you wrote above is profoundly wrong for reasons explained to you in numerous posts in this thread.

Mathematics attempt to describe the universe. The universe does not function based on Mathematics/algorithms, Math/algorithms are just a language/tool which we use to describe the universe. You got it the other way around, look at the dancing balerina and think about it.

You seem to have it the wrong way around. Mathematics is the language of nature, it describes what is going on around us - what is around us does not contain mathematics in an intrinsic sense. Its like saying that you are built based on English because you use that language in your posts. Try to think about what Strange and others are saying and try to notice the different point of view. Here’s a dancing ballerina illusion for refference on getting the different view.

Unbelievable. It looks like bio-warfare takes a whole new meaning with the Kim regime. @Phi for All, I wrote the OP from my phone and the font sizes changed for some reason. Please correct if time lets you, thanks.

I find this astonishing. Decades of a deep regime seem to be taking a horrible toll. "We are struggling with treatment as we found a large number of parasites in the soldier's stomach, invading and eating into the wounded areas," Lee Guk-jong, the physician who treated him, told the Review. We have also discovered a parasite never seen in Koreans before," Lee said. "It is making the situation worse and causing tremendous complications. It's unclear whether the parasite has been seen in other parts of the world. https://businessinsider.com.pl/international/surgeons-find-parasite-unlike-any-theyve-seen-in-body-of-defector-shot-5-times-while/2fesrj2

I’m confused... is superposition the only available answer to Kip’s question? I’d love to see some detail layed out, @Janus ?

Shocking.

My question was how do the gravity wave LIGO findings correlate to the dissonance in aproaches to gravity mentioned above. My question might be invalid as I’m not familiar with any work explaining the „pseudoforce” aproach, I’d love to read more on it. It is fairly obvious (at least to my lame mind) that our view of gravity is currently limited and we are missing crucial parts of the big picture. Not going into any of the failed or non resolvable GUT attempts, the difference in Newtonian and GR gravity aproaches alone implies (at least to me) that we currently see only a partial view of something more complex. Edit: Complex is not a good word, can’t find a word for current view of gravity not being whole - maybe „revealing”

Can you recommend something easly digestive to read explaining this dissonance? How do the LIGO/VIRGO findings adress this dissonance?

Why is classing gravity as a pseudoforce rare these days? Call me ignorant but theres no way I can find time do go through this large paper in detail, I’m genuinly asking.

Sounds reasonable.

On one side we have a clumsy, banned (correctly) troll who uses a double standard to try to stir to satisfy his insecurities but on the other, we have a genuine condemnation of an obvious field trip goof - really?

Today I learned that a certain species of fish - orange-spotted tusk fish is capable of using tools. Specifically, it finds clams and smashes them against a certain kind of rock to get to the meat inside. This is from a 60 minute first episode of a BBC documentary entitled „Blue Planet 2” Stunning visuals, literally every frame of those 60 minutes could be framed and put on a wall. Plus Hans Zimmer made the soundtrack.

Unfortunately this is incorrect in the context of the current situation in Poland. The populist right with their countless breaches and dismantling of the democratic state has been in power for 2 years and the polls are 44% for the a holes at power vs 21% for the liberal democratic opposition previously at power... with the rational left 8% and the extreme right 6%.

Ladies & Gentlemen, we got ourselves a pure blood troll right there.

Spoko, daj znać jak będziesz w Warszawie Oraz piszesz jak rasowy Polak (pamiętaj tylko, że „Ci” zawsze z dużej litery) Lets keep this in English though from now on.

The problem is that the march was under the government umbrella, they passed legislation 6 months ago to forbid any marches during the Nov. 11th marches and during the surreal, populist propaganda Smoleńsk monthly gatherings led by Kaczyński - they are implementing a police state. If it was just nazis or morons or whoever marching in whatever cause like in normal democracies nobody would make a big fuss about it, its the government blessing which is dangerous. As for Krakow and your 6 years there, Im glad to hear it (Im in Warsaw, let me know if youre coming here we’ll grab a beer) Remember that Krakow is a sanctuary of the „old intelligence” and it might not be a good indication of the whole picture. I hope your example is a valid one though. Edit: Yesterday the EU passed a resolution to implement sanctions against the highjacking of constitutional tribunal and the march thing in Poland. The resolution is dead on arival as the amount of beaurocracy and aditional voting required for it to actually take place is endless - and our government is well aware of it. So again answering iNow’s OP, theres isn’t any way to counter this without destroying our autonomy as a democratic state - its a vicious circle. On a side note, recently a middle class chemist set himslef on fire and died in Warsaw in protest of the current government. Its something unprecedented in Polish history even taking into account the deep regime of the 1960’s and 70’s. Have you seen the filthy government reactions to this? It’s ubelievable, sometimes I want to wake up from this bad dream (give in my passport and just leave)

Yes! Thank you Mordred, very infightful for me (Dirac, spin 2) I also havent realised what you wrote about LIGO. +1.

In simple words, Special Relativity deals with speed of light being constant in all frames of reference and the geometries here are fairly simple. General Relativity deals with spacetime as a whole and with gravity being the distortion/curvature of that 4 dimentional spacetime construct which we exist in. General Relativity is very complex once you get deep into the details, very few people understand it fully with some of it’s implications being extremely complex - I don’t. Oh, and time is much too complex and flexible to define it as just change. Change implies simple before, now, after and that works for us humans here on earth because we do not notice the true nature of time in our everyday lives. Time in fact is not like that... a broader, larger cosmic scale lets us understand that its relative which means it flows at different rates for different observers (frames of reference) depending on velocity and...gravity. In fact we do not even need to use large scales, satelites 100 miles above your head need to compensate for time dilation in order for GPS’s to work. It happens as you read this.
