M theory, String theory, Theory of Everything
Phi for All replied to Joshua MacDonald's topic in Speculations
This is actually what you're doing now. Have you been able to take any of the comments on board, and adjust your hypothesis accordingly? A representation of what an odderon particle might look like reminds you of a toy you're familiar with, so it seems like a pattern to you, but it's not. -
Reality and perception. Split from: Does the time exist?
Phi for All replied to Holmes's topic in General Philosophy
Perhaps that's the problem. "Reality" is a horribly subjective choice of words for what you're describing. Science makes observations about the natural world. What we see in nature. You can decide for yourself if that involves "reality". -
My claim has evidence to back it up. The perception doesn't match natural observation and measurement. Your claim that this perception is real has only subjective confirmation.
-
You're an atomic fountain of information! But in the case of the person under anasthesia, their perception is NOT real. What allows you to cherry pick one situation over another?
-
Nothing. You've constrained the description until it no longer resembles anything physical. It's ironic that you always know when to play the atomic clock card.

M theory, String theory, Theory of Everything
Phi for All replied to Joshua MacDonald's topic in Speculations
OK, you can't post that here in mainstream Physics <sigh>. We need to move this to Speculations, where you can try to support this with some evidence. By the way, you aren't going to find the maths for this, because this goes against observed behavior (we can't observe anything that passes the EH of a black hole), and is completely unphysical (you can't have "pure negative energy", because once again, energy is a property of a thing, not a thing itself). Lightning is an event, not a physical thing (can I borrow a cup of lightning?), something that happens only when many other things combine to form the phenomenon (fire is another event). I'll echo MigL's comment. You're obviously a smart person, I wish you'd study mainstream science. We've been accumulating all kinds of knowledge so you don't have to guess like this. Please take all these comments in the positive light in which they're meant, but you've been making things up for far too long. -
M theory, String theory, Theory of Everything
Phi for All replied to Joshua MacDonald's topic in Speculations
Cool. So the first thing to do is tell us about this idea, so we can see if what you base it on is sound science. You need a good foundation if you want to build anything. Two things here. Energy is not a thing, it's a property of a thing, so what thing has this energy that's around us? Second, I told you what you have is NOT a theory. You're mistaken if you think a theory is like a speculation. Theory is the strongest thing science has got. And what makes it powerful is that a theory is never "proven". A theory always uses the best current information to explain various phenomena, so a theory is able to change as we know more. Proof is for maths, and philosophy. You have only so much knowledge you're working with, so you're probably filling in the gaps with guesswork. VERY common, and it's the way our brains work. We look for patterns that make sense to us based on what we know. The more you know, the more you can figure out the patterns. The less you know, the more you leap to conclusions and make stuff up, because figuring out the patterns is really important to us. No, not so much. Our knowledge increases and theories gain new prominence (or they're discarded if found to be false, like phlogiston), but the physical laws seem to hold steady throughout the universe. Well, tell us a bit about it, but I have doubts you understand much about any of those things. Please be willing to learn. -

Phi for All replied to Joshua MacDonald's topic in Speculations
Wouldn't that be great? But what you're suggesting is like asking a screenwriter to turn your concept into a movie. The screenwriter ends up doing all the important work. You could start by explaining your idea (it's not a theory, btw, that's premature), and take some replies on board to help you figure out if you're onto something. -
I disagree. I think this kind of thing emphasizes that time exists.

What happens when Science gets things wrong.
Phi for All replied to studiot's topic in Science Education
You should eat something. -
Have you ever been under a general anesthesia? When you wake up, you're acutely aware that it seems as if no time at all has passed, as opposed to sleeping, where you definitely know you've spent several hours in bed. Even if you're really tired and sleep all night through, the feeling that time has passed is strong. It's very bizarre NOT to feel time. When the doctor tells you to count backwards from 100, you make it to 97 and then you open your eyes and HOURS have passed, it feels like you've been tricked.

Vertical?! You should just throw them away now and save yourself the time. Aren't you worried about increasing the ovality of your discs? Your DVDs are fine, but your papers are going to get torn up by those screwdrivers every time you open the closet. I just hope those papers aren't the warranties for the screwdrivers. Do you mean, doubts it will continue to protect them as perfectly as it has so far, or do you mean doubts that the situation you mentioned will continue to leave them unaffected? I'm assuming they're OK now, right?

The Schrödinger's cat thought experiment proves there is no God
Phi for All replied to VenusPrincess's topic in Religion
The question is murdered by poor reasoning, bad-faith arguments, and fallacious logic, and somebody should care about justice for the victim. Questioning shady argument styles is like wearing a bodycam. Keeps things a bit more honest. -
! Moderator Note Two pages in, nobody knows exactly what you want to talk about. I'm throwing this thread in the Trash. You can open another on the same topic, but our rules require that they make sense. Focus on what you want to ask, or discuss, or learn. Stop being vague. Stop commenting on things that aren't about the topic. Please stop making references to movies and games as it limits the circle of those who might be interested in discussing this with you. Posting links to videos with nothing to give them context is unhelpful, and against the rules. I think you could use some help, but we're having trouble understanding you. The questions we can understand you asking require a LOT of technical language and medical knowledge, and it's difficult to know how much of that you understand (because of science knowledge, AND because of the obvious language barrier). If you're just wanting to know more about a medical condition, start the thread in Anatomy, Physiology, and Neuroscience. If you insist you are immortal and want the chance to show supportive evidence, then post in Speculations. But please be more clear. Please.

! Moderator Note No more of this. Post in Homework Help next time. We don't do your homework for you here.

The Schrödinger's cat thought experiment proves there is no God
Phi for All replied to VenusPrincess's topic in Religion
It's not, though, since iNow specifically said his references were "functionally equivalent". He made no attempt to argue against those references. You're free to argue that they aren't equivalent, but not that he's using fallacious logic. Again, it's not an ad-hom to make the claim that opinions and personal feelings might influence your judgement wrt your assertions. It's a fact. It's no judgement of your character as a human. It also doesn't suggest anything about your motives, only one of the pressures that may influence you. Now this is a strawman. Only your feelings (and the context they were in) were mentioned, the rest is a man of straw you knocked down as irrelevant. This is a false equivalence fallacy. Your style is more argumentative than conversational, a style I would employ if I wanted to win a debate by any means rather than learning from others in discussion. -

Well, I have to say your OP isn't very helpful at describing what you want to talk about. That bit about Genecks really derails your focus. After reading it three times, I still don't understand why you seem to be angry with him. And then you go on to talk about "it was viewed that" and "it was considered", but with no mention of who was viewing or considering, making me think you were either vague or talking in the third person. I stopped reading when you used the Triune Brain theory as an argument. You know that model has been abandoned for concepts that have a LOT more explanatory power, right? Dividing a spectrum into threes isn't necessarily helpful, especially with something as complex as the human brain. Nothing in this thread has prepared me to unpack this question and statement. Is it just unfamiliar terminology to me, or are you bouncing around from one concept to the other with no transitions? I sense you're assuming the readers of this thread know a LOT more about what you're talking about than they really do. Or maybe I'm having a bad cognitive day.

Counter-rotary feature of quantum tunnelingCounte
Phi for All replied to MerieuxMarylandPfeifield's topic in Trash Can
! Moderator Note There's just too much garbage in here to unpack. Overunity, numerology, and enough word salad to choke any herbivore. Trash, trash, trash. This is a science discussion forum. Don't do this here again, ever.
