Suffering

[seriously disabled]

In Christianity there is such a thing as the infinite suffering of the souls of the unsaved or those who are forever seperated from the love of God. Many Christians believe that those who are not saved will be made to suffer in Hell for all of eternity.

 

What I wanted to ask is: what does PHYSICS have to say about infinite suffering or infinite pain?

Your question has NOTHING to do with any branch of science, including physics.

Nothing. Suffering is a psychological concept, pain is biological.

Some people like to have a cup of tea in the morning, others don't

 

I was wondering, what does physics say about having a cup of tea?

 

That's what I read...

[J.C.MacSwell]

That's what I read...

 

...well for having a cup of tea, you have your fluid dynamics, your heat transfer...

 

...and of course some finite suffering and pain if it is too hot...

 

...so for the OP, more of that and for longer...

Suffering and pain are questions for biologists, medical scientists, psychologists etc. The notion of infinite is generally understood to be unphysical. That is no one could ever make a measurement that gave an infinite value to some observable. So straight away, even without some very well-defined concepts of pain and suffering any scientist should be wary of infinite suffering.

nothing

 

If u can find a way to measure a soul perhaps u can try to answer ur own question. Good Luck!

 

lol

 

Hint: first try defining it.

It's not against the rules, so it's strictly up to peer pressure, but could you please NOT use text speak on SFN? It's a tiny savings of your time that risks a huge amount of other's time to interpret, giving the impression that only YOUR time is valuable.

 

There are many other reasons I won't go into, but suffice it to say that your FOXP2 protein sequence has two more amino acids than a chimp for a reason. Productive communication is our goal.

Physics is a science of explaining observation. We can only observe that which is in the visible universe. Our account of the universe is constantly changing based on discoveries and their explanations.

 

Christianity is a religion based on human observation of what was perceived as divine intervention through God. Our ONLY account of this is the Bible.

 

Science and religion are two completely different things.

 

Religion sought to explain the mysteries of the universe and its methodology through the word of God.

 

Science seeks to explain the same mysteries through observation, hypothesis, and eventually theories.
