  1. When he says "My nose will grow NOW", he lied when his nose did not grow. So immediately after, his nose grows, there's no contradiction because it didn't grow when he said now. This sentence is false. It is false when said. Then its opposite becomes true immediately after, and the whole statement is true afterwards. This sentence is always false. We originally see it as false. That would mean the statement's opposite is true, that it's not always false. It can't be true after, because that would mean it's always false, a contradiction. So after the statement is proclaimed (and during), it is false. The only way to make sure the statement it false, is to make it true at some time. So it USED to be true before it was said, but after the statement is said, it becomes false. My way of circumventing the paradox, bringing in the idea of time. Truth values, instead of being a boolean, would instead be an array of booleans along the time axis. So I guess that could be a solution to the problem...
  2. I know that signals are received using dendrites and sent via axons. But how is the original signal created? Every signal has to start somewhere, so how to the neurons originally fire? Does a sensory stimulus automatically create a pattern of signals to represent the incoming information, which subsequently trigger other neurons which allows for reactions? But if somebody were to be totally deprived of all sensory input, would they be unable to function? Being blind, deaf, numb, and olfactory deprived, would they still be conscious and capable of thought? Also, neurons fires using a chain of chemical reactions along the axon to pass a charge down a line. Supposing somebody were too close to an EMP. Would this cause all of the neurons to fire simultaneously? Or is this what the sheath around the axon is for? Otherwise, then during the refractory period, would a person be unable to function for that split second? It the original signal triggered chemically or electromagnetically? I know this is sort of a mix among physics, molecular biology, and neuroscience, and I though that this was the most suitable location.

    Time

    I don't recall where, but I heard a quote that, "a black hole is what you get when nature divides by zero". At first I shoved it to the back of my mind and disregarded it as nonsense, but later I started thinking about it again after learning about time dilation when high numbers are involved. Could it be possible that the Planck time is like the dt for the universe, and each next phase is calculated by a giant computer that uses Euler's method? If this is the case, a black hole really could be when nature divides by zero, and as numbers get bigger (close to speed of light or high gravity near black hole), it takes longer to do certain calculations, so time slows down around those parts. Since a computer uses only 0's and 1's, it can't have full accuracy as to where something should exactly be. That is what allows for quantum teleportation on small scales. Perhaps its a really complicated computer, so instead of just 0 and 1 for no electron and electron, it also has -1, for positron. When a positron gets too close to an electron on the circuit board, they annihilate and singe a part of the computer. That is the energy release from matter+antimatter here. This theory was also fueled by the fact that I don't really believe in entropy (uncertainty), so theoretically (in my mind) given an initial condition and a fast computer, the future could be foretold. Obviously, that would cause some contradictions, so maybe nature's computer is the fastest there ever could be. I have no evidence to back this, only consistences. So it's more a thought question than an actual theory. There are probably lots of problems with this perspective, but I do think it goes well with Occam's razor. No entropy, no uncertainty, etc. I would also explain why we can't talk about the universe between time 0 and the Planck time. Comments, anyone want to yell at me for being a total scatterbrain? Yeah, I probably make this account just to post this and witness reactions...
