| Re: T.o.N. (Theory of Nothing) Well, that explains it for me. I really don't think it's a linguistics problem at all, because we can wrap our heads around various interpretations, but a problem of empirical and theoretical science preventing philosophical interpretations that allow science and math to be extended.
In the other thread, Lloyd, you had thought I referred to a reduction of energy density over time, but I'm interested in how we can reduce the energy density. I wanted your hypothetical explanation of how you think it could be done.
You still think that it is only Zeno paradoxical to have a literal universe with an internal functioning without external containment - the "no outside" that we both agree on. Yet entertain that further by considering the difference between your perspective and what would be the universal perspective in the following:
It takes you x amount of time to travel from one side of town to the other - your persepctive; but it takes no time for the universe to reach across town, and without motion as well - the universal perspective. So problems do arise when we subject the absolute universe to relative human standards.
Also, your reference to qualia is relatively moot, I would say, and if you figure that one out we will have made a quantum leap you and I.
It is all based on quantum x, but some will focus on 1-1 as being one quantum consisting of two quanta; others as two quanta; still others as the result of combining the quanta; and science, understandably, on only half as being relevant. |
