Life would be better without religion.
One such example is Islam 800->1100AD . Did you know that 2/3rds of the constellation star names are Arabic? Or that the word 'algebra' and 'algorithm' are Arabic. Or that our numerals are Arabic numerals? Islam during this period was once an open...
After the big bang there was a lot of energy in the form of light, which comes in discrete packets called photons. When photons have enough energy, they can spontaneously decay into a particle and an antiparticle. (An antiparticle is the exact opposite of the corresponding particle--for example...
Is the concept of God self-contradictory and absurd? The Universe is merely matter and energy in motion, so the idea of God is patently absurd.
How can a timeless and spaceless entity even exist? Who created God? What existed before him?
If god were to exist then given all the pain and...
The ongoing, growing, and powerful movement called secularism, a way of understanding and living that is indifferent to religion in fact, not even concerned enough to pay it any attention to it, is slowly taking over society. That is all i am implying.
Millennials are saying no to traditional...
Great thread
The Secular Age is snowballing. The Internet exposes young people to a wide array of ideas and practices that undercut old time beliefs. That family breakdown severs traditional participation in congregations.
Religion has soured tolerant minded Americans. Today it’s less...
Virtual particles don"t have any real existence in vacuum when there are no real quanta of the fields present.
Virtual particles are book keeping mathematical entities, that allow calculations to be made for say, scattering amplitudes between two electrons, as one example.
Another way to...
This world is profoundly, fundamentally bizarre. Faith in God doesn’t change that. God and superstition are absurd too.
Religion was our first attempt to explain existence and to answer our questions of who, what, when, where and the why of us.
With the growth of civilization to modern...
The shorter the time period over which we make a measurement, the more uncertain is the value of the energy. This explains the existence of virtual particles. They can spontaneioulsly appear out of empty space, but over only a limited amount of time. One virtual particle has positive energy and...
This makes no sense.
You said : "It's due to the vacuum energy".
This is wrong
Virtual particles contain a very small amount of energy and exist for a very small amount of time.
Scientists have long known that minuscule particles, called virtual particles, come into existence from nothing...
