I believe "beyond the unknown" is a specious phrase. Sounds good until you really think it through. Math is being developed by humans to describe what we observe in the universe. So far, all the gods seem to have made themselves unobservable to us, and since there are SO MANY different ways to believe in them, preached by SO MANY different believers, some folks choose to trust in knowledge gained through painstaking scientific methodology researched by generations of peers. It seems to get results, where wishful thinking and making things up hasn't worked out very well. Me personally, I take the Humanist approach. Some humans gain a lot of good things from their belief in a higher power. If a god wants to make themselves observable to me, I'll take a look, but until then I'm going to focus on accumulated human knowledge.

Off-topic speculation (split from How does ChatGPT work?)
Phi for All replied to Genady's topic in Trash Can
! Moderator Note genio, you need to keep conversation about your speculative ideas in their own threads. Our rules say you need to keep it out of mainstream science discussions until you've supported the concept properly. Thanks for understanding. -
Being incomprehensible to others isn't something to stone someone over. All one can really do is encourage more study, so the ideas you have can enjoy some basis in the natural universe we're all observing.

If I recognized that, it would make the word "all" meaningless to me. Except you've given us no calculations that are understandable. Even this sentence has no real meaning. What's a "human time", and how short is very, very, very short? Are you using some kind of religious definition of "heavens and the Earth", here on a science discussion forum? Does your definition include other solar systems and galaxies?

https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and-preparation/eggs/shell-eggs-farm-table You may have some trouble incorporating this information into your present accumulated knowledge, since it contradicts something you've come to believe unreasonably. It's worth trying to overcome our own cognitive biases though, even though our inclination is to believe even more strongly in the false assumption.

Before you base any kind of spiritual belief in the BBT, you should make sure you understand it. In the Lambda Cold Dark Matter model the Big Bang Theory is based on, the maths don't need any gods to be credible. The nature works out well without the supernatural.

Mostly because you made it up based on your limited science knowledge (no offense), so it seems like it's absolutely PERFECT for you. Does that make sense? Any time you try to explain something, your explanation can only be as complete as your current knowledge. Learn more science, and your explanations will more accurately match what we observe in nature.

It's a mistake thinking this way. The universe is everything. It can't be "enclosed". There is no point where the universe ends and "nothing" begins. If you're describing the universe, there's nothing outside of it. If you were describing a nightclub you visited, there's no part of the nightclub that is outside the nightclub, by its very definition.

How to, Choose the right grease trap treatment?
Phi for All replied to ambertcarrero's topic in Ecology and the Environment
With so many different options available, it can be difficult to know which businesses that need to trap grease will know which treatment will be most effective for their specific needs. -
I concur that words are very important in the quality of our communication, and I'm sure that you can appreciate that there can only be a "complete absence of things" in certain contexts, and that they aren't always the same as "nothing".

I've always hated the concept of the mythological "eye" that needs to be plucked out in order to receive wisdom. They did this in Norse mythology too. It's always seemed like decreasing your ability to actually observe nature in exchange for some kind of spiritual enlightenment, which is usually undefined and impervious to reason.
-
The word is being used several ways. "Nothing" can escape from a black hole. Empty space is filled with "nothing". There is "nothing" outside of our universe. In each case though, "nothing" means "a complete absence of things", and it's been pointed out that in some instances "nothing" may not be possible.

What do you think of the COVID handshake, done with the elbows? I've found most consider it unique and interesting enough that they don't mind participating, and you can always claim to be erring on the side of caution ("I've been sneezing a lot this morning, let's be safe"). Perhaps we need to start introducing ourselves with our pronouns and preferred physical greeting. "I'm Phi, he/him, handshake, great to meet you!"

"Bang" was an unfortunate choice of descriptors. It was actually an expansion of space rather than an explosion into space. And if you want to talk about "THE PLACE", you need to clarify whether you're talking about a specific bit of matter orbiting other bits of matter (like a sun or a planet which are always moving) or a specific coordinate in spacetime where matter may be encountered (usually given with three spatial coordinates and a time component).

BIG BANG AUTO-MECHANIC'S TAKE ON THINGS
Phi for All replied to FRAGMASTER2023's topic in Speculations
! Moderator Note Moved to Speculations. We want to see some evidence that supports your concepts and led to your conclusions. Break it down in pieces so we can analyze that based on what we observe in nature. For instance, energy is a property of a thing, not a thing itself, so it can't be created or destroyed. Instead the thing the energy is a property of is changed into a different form, so "ENERGY CREATED" is NOT what's happening. Does your idea still hold up knowing this? -
Just a suggestion, but here we don't attack people, we attack ideas. If someone insults you personally, please report the post. If someone criticizes your idea, address the critique.

Universality , Equality of Matter and Constant Bang !
Phi for All replied to Commander's topic in Speculations
Not sure what your point is here, but current theories are constantly being tested and updated. Any addition to what we consider to be our best current explanations MUST follow scientific methodology (not "required to be justified"). I think you're talking about "disparaging" when you say "put down every new idea", but that's not true. Your idea is being disparaged because it's wrong, and goes against what we already know, mainly because you insist on speculating while your science knowledge has many gaps in it. IOW, nobody is saying your idea is wrong because it's new. It's wrong for all the reasons listed previously. Not sure how many times you have to hear it before it sinks in, but science isn't looking for the TRUTH. That's far too subjective. Science is looking for the best supported explanations to various phenomena. Like evolution, science has no ULTIMATE GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
