I would say the final word has yet to be uttered on that one. Theories are okay for what they are but science is an evolving discipline and I'm sure in due course there will be newer, more updated theories and ideas, as our understanding increases.
I'm sorry to hear that mate. Sounds like you're having a rough time of it. I kind of half-way like what you are saying, but I'm coming at from a Buddhist POV, rather than a scientific one. You're onto something in my opinion.
Matter occupies space though and space contains substance - both help define each other.
I think what you are saying is that a void is not subject to change, as there is nothing within it which can be subject to change? Is that roughly it?
Don't destroy my cliched stereotypes. Nothing more soul-destroying than discovering that assumed exotic, weird, or otherwise 'different' people are just as boringly normal as me and can't even play the banjo!
Okay, that's not what I do in any case.
But didn't you claim that time doesn't exist? Now you're saying it's a substance. What kind of substance? It must be measurable and if so, how?
You are still imposing a mental construct on the indivisible. Why is coordinate space more or less "real" than space-time, when it is imputed on the same basis?
A lot of insight in your journal post there and I've been thinking about it the last day or so. At my last Buddhist meeting I made a point that seemed to escape the others who were present, that our reality is called the Desire Realm by Buddhists.
Okay, so what? They said.
I think the...
Years ago I watched a film called Deliverance which was shot in some great locations. I always thought it was supposed to be the Appalachians but I'm probably getting it mixed up with Southern Comfort? Or perhaps I'm just confused because that wasn't there either... Oh well.
I can imagine 'doing' New York (because it's a must) but then heading for the mountains and forests.
Most Brits do Orlando, Disney World, Florida, Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon - all of which don't push my buttons.
The USA is a big place, so I figured there must be some hidden gems in there...
A question for the US members. As a UK dude, if I visit the USA I'd like to avoid the regular tourists spots.
Where for you is your slice of almost heaven?
The main thing is that you are happy with who you are. I think our definition of 'normal' versus OCD, autistic etc is a bit arbitrary in any case, as the human mind is a complex event. Thanks for sharing about yourself though, it's useful to dispel misconceptions.
