    Quantum entanglement between organisms

    I'd start with any basic text on quantum field theory (e.g., Peskin & Schroeder or even Zee's book on QFT). Most get into the issues one finds immediately upon trying to formulate a relativistic quantum mechanics. Even in the case of 4D Minkowski space (where the metric is constant), one cannot...

    Quantum entanglement between organisms

    Quantum entanglement doesn't allow information transmission. Holography, AdS/CFT correspondence, guage dualities, etc., all involve spaces equipped with certain topological, geometrical, and group-theoretical structures that are absent from quantum mechanics proper. Simply put, even...

    Quantum entanglement between organisms

    “The only reality is mind and observations” Henry, R. C. (2005). The mental universe. Nature, 436(7047), 29-29. “The doctrine that the world is made up of objects whose existence is independent of human consciousness turns out to be in conflict with quantum mechanics and with facts established...

    A Brief History of the Atom

    This unfortunately common confusion is almost entirely inaccurate. In reality, in opposition to the "atomists" (to the extent such a classification is useful rather than merely anachronistic) were those who viewed all that exists in terms of a "continuum". A great deal of debate becomes muddled...

    What Makes Science Subjective?

    Actually, this claim raises several crucial issues relating to subjectivity and intersubjectivity in the practice(s) of scientific research. 1) One can easily find shows, specials, and other media in which persons who self-identify as e.g., “ghost hunters”, paranormal investigators, etc., use a...

    What Makes Science Subjective?

    The first point at which subjectivity (or, more accurately, intersubjectivity) enters into the picture is with the idea that there are classes or categories of objects we might call rocks. By “we” I mean humans, who, by virtue of being equipped with particular sensory organs but lacking others...

    Is the Universe a neural network? Mind of God?

    It did, unfortunately: Vanchurin, V. (2020). The world as a neural network. Entropy, 22(11), 1210. Not that this means much, given the number of peer-reviewed journals that have emerged with their main goal being to publish articles that wouldn't pass review elsewhere. There's nothing that...

    A Mathematical Proof of God

    Oh, c'mon! What's next?? I suppose you also think there's no set A such that A contains all sets which don't contain themselves!

    A Mathematical Proof of God

    Polymath257 already covered basically everything of import here, but I would not just for the sake of completeness that one speaks of a vector space V or "a set V over a field F" (preferably, something more akin to "a triple consisting of a set V together with two operations * and + defined over...

    Faith in science?

    The sun has a pretty good track record when it comes to rising and setting every day (I am using "rising/setting" as shorthand for the actual processes vis-à-vis the rotation of the Earth about its axis and about the sun and so forth). I have faith that the sun will rise again tomorrow and the...

    Faith in science?

    Seems uncalled for and unwarranted, to say the least

    Fine Tuning argument / The best argument for the existence of God

    Actually, more your use of it as an elitist. Another member made this post: To which you responded with a post that included the following: Now, apart from being elitist and snobbish in and of itself, these rhetorical questions imply that YOU in fact DO study cosmology, but it turns out that...

    Fine Tuning argument / The best argument for the existence of God

    Nope. I have no problem with it being on Youtube. There are graduate and post-graduate seminars as well as other material intended for specialists one can now find there. It's becoming a common means by which we can share and access information. The problem isn't that it is a Youtube video per...

    Fine Tuning argument / The best argument for the existence of God

    Please do. And no, you backed up your misconceptions with summary simplifications that some scientists use to explain physics to people like you in ways you can understand (i.e., with all the actual physics content missing). I attend them all the time. It's a major component of what I do. So...

    Fine Tuning argument / The best argument for the existence of God

    So no physicist you have ever listened to thinks there is any actual evidence for fine-tuning, but when these same physicists (and others you haven't listened to) "say 'fine-tuning'", they are trying to find the science behind it? Despite the fact that (according to you) you've never listened to...

    Fine Tuning argument / The best argument for the existence of God

    Only to the extent they believe that this knowledge is sufficient to make claims of actual knowledge over and against the actual literature in the respective field. It should be blatantly obvious that a great deal is lost and wont to be misunderstood from popular science. It need not be as bad...

    Fine Tuning argument / The best argument for the existence of God

    It's mostly mathematics, and while the mathematics is still mostly lacking rigour or even a coherent framework within which it could be completed, it is far more advanced in terms of mathematical advances, insights, and progress in a handful of exciting mathematical subdisciplines and fields...

    Fine Tuning argument / The best argument for the existence of God

    IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ZENO! Zeno's paradoxes concern issues with infinities in general. It has even LESS to do with Cantor's transfinite infinity. Google "measure theory" or something before continuing to spout this nonsense. What I was talking about has more to do with infamous atheist...

    Fine Tuning argument / The best argument for the existence of God

    How many conferences have you attended? You don't read scientific literature, so stop telling me what we say to one another based off of your youtube clips. And, incidentally, when scientists like Susskind refer to fine-tuning they also often do so with specific references to a supernatural...

    Fine Tuning argument / The best argument for the existence of God

    Ok, there's your physicist you listen to who believes the universe is incredibly finely tuned and we need to explain why this isn't evidence of a creator by invoking extreme metaphysics and alternative reasoning. String theory isn't sufficiently well formulated to get beyond the proof that...
