Strange

There is no evidence either of those things have any relevance to biochemistry or neurology (despite the desperate hopes of Penrose et al.) And I have no idea what "quantum deduction" means. You will need to be a lot more specific than the waffle in this thread, in that case. That is exactly what this is.

The bioelectrical system depends on physics. Then it is odd you haven't presented any predictions and evidence on this forum.

If you observe a radioactive atom, you cannot predict when it will decay.

“Predetermined” “Predetermined” does NOT mean “it exists”

You need to provide some evidence that this event happened, first.

Can you explain / give an example of how you are representing sound changes using REs. It’s an interesting idea but I can’t quite see how it works.

No. Too many irregularities, for one thing. And the parsing of language is highly context dependent.

Ah, you are thinking of the electric eel. (Rather than a real eel) That would be a rather inefficient (and shocking) way to power a watch. You would need to feed it!

Yes. That’s the point. I assume a sphere or flat are possible (incorrect) shapes that JL believes the Earth to be.

People have already been "genetically altered" to cure various diseases. Sounds like a good thing (as long as it is tested for safety).

Space (i.e.distance) is not a material thing but we can travel through it. Space and time are concepts. Ways of measuring the world around us. Space and time are inextricably linked as the four dimensions of space-time.

Why do you think someone must have created it? Why do you think it must have a purpose? The galaxies were formed when clouds of gas collapsed, due to gravity, and formed stars when the density became great enough to cause fusion.

I can't work out if you are trolling or just really, really stupid. Why would I deny the existence of reality just because you don't know what the word "predetermined" means? I can only assume that the word that your are translating from Hungarian as "predetermined" means something completely different.

1. He wouldn't 2. Even if he did, it is irrelevant because he would be wrong. Although, if he did, at least he would make a rational argument rather than just saying he didn't believe it. So, you are not going to counter the evidence? Just continue to deny it? Sad!

density of rock: 2650 kg/m3 (https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=density+of+rock) volume of sphere radius 8 feet: 2144.66 ft3 (https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=volume+of+sphere+radius+8+feet) 2650 kg/m3 * 2144.66 feet3 = 354,800 lb (https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2650+kg%2Fm^3 * 2144.66+ft^3+in+pounds)

That doesn't really change anything. You could use the word "determined" about the past ("the past is determined and unchangeable") but it seems a bit silly. You can't use "predetermined" about the past. But using either "determined" (fixed) or "predetermined" (fixed in advance) about the future means exactly the same thing. In all cases, you have missed "predetermined". I have no idea what concept you are trying to express by using "predetermined" but you have failed completely. (Maybe try Google Translate. I don't know how well it works from Hungarian into English.)

Nope. Newtonian physics is used in all of those in order to demonstrate that the Earth is rotating. You can claim otherwise with no evidence, logic or mathematics, but then we can just dismiss your claim.

So it isn't predetermined. So when you said it was, you were using the wrong word. Do you agree?

Are you doing this deliberately? Do I need to report you for trolling? Do you actually know that a nuclear war is inevitable? Right. So not "predetermined". The word you are looking for is (ready for this) ... "not predetermined" or "undetermined". Here are some example sentences: "We can change the future because we have free will and so the future is not predetermined." "The future is undetermined so we can change it because we have free will." "Someone is pregnant but it is undetermined if she will give birth in the future." "Nuclear warheads are not predetermined to be used in conflict. Let's hope they aren't!" See? Easy, isn't it, when you use the right words.

I'm sure this is futile but ... This has everything to do with your argument. The reason that helicopters and golf balls behave as if the Earth were stationary is because (to a good approximation) it can be treated as an inertial frame of reference. They therefore behave the same as they would if the Earth were stationary or moving through space. I guess the fact you don't understand this is part of the problem. (Assuming the problem isn't lurking under a bridge somewhere.) Well, you could do some basic research. I don't think this needs a link, does it? We have known for a very long time that the reason we see the sun rise and set is because the Earth rotates (not because the flames are being carried across the celestial sphere on a chariot). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_force This is force that is felt by objects when in motion in a rotating frame of reference. Guess what: objects in motion on the Earth feel a Cirolis force. Because they are in a rotating frame of reference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_force#Applied_to_the_Earth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foucault_pendulum "The pendulum was introduced in 1851 and was the first experiment to give simple, direct evidence of the earth's rotation. Today, Foucault pendulums are popular displays in science museums and universities.[1]" Yeah. You know. The way they move across the sky every 24 hours. Almost as if the Earth were rotating. Caused by the centrifugal forces due to its spin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafele–Keating_experiment The two planes that flew in opposite directions round the Earth experienced different time dilation because their relative speeds were different. That is hardly relevant. Unless you have some evidence it is a sphere. (Or flat. Or whatever nonsense you believe.) You should be able to demonstrate that in suitable mathematical detail then. I expect they get a discount at Trump golf courses.

It's related to a post I reported earlier. (Browse the last page of the "banned members" thread for clues)

J L Of course. Hadn't noticed that before.

I don't think you know what "predetermined" means. No it isn't. For all sorts of reasons. Not if by "predetermined" you mean that we know she will give birth. We don't know any such thing. But if you actually mean the birth is predetermined then you need to explain why do all the factors that could change that have no effect but the time of birth can be changed by external factors? How do you know which things are predetermined and which things are not? Are there categories of things that are predetermined and categories of things we can control? Is this to do with their size? Or complexity? Or how far in the future they are? What rational reason do you have for thinking that some things are predetermined but other things are not? Oh no! You know that for a fact? We are all going to die? Or maybe, again, you don't mean "predetermined"? Maybe you mean "designed" or "planned" or or "possibly" or "hopefully not". I have no idea. But it is getting clearer and clearer that you are using the wrong word.

It is quite black and white. Predeterminism is not about the past. The future is either fixed and unchangeable (i.e. predetermined) or it isn't (i.e. not predetermined). It can't be both changeable and unchangeable. That makes no sense.

Huh? What about an eel? I mean, it's a tasty fish, alright but I can't see the relevance to this thread.
