Re: The idea of demensions proves Descartes wrong.

Time is simply another dimension (we can call it the 4th dimension).

The same way we can visualize flatland as if we were looking at 2D blueprints, likewise a higher dimensional being may view time as if he were looking at a multi-faceted time-line.

Perhaps?

Re: The idea of demensions proves Descartes wrong.

Certainly the flatlander would view all the abilities of a being in the 3rd dimension as having God-like attributes: Omniscience: The 3D being would know all there is to know about flatland.

Re: The idea of demensions proves Descartes wrong.

We use science and reason to know reality, so whatever we know or will eventually know about reality will be down to our use of science and reason...

Re: Suggestion List

First, I've "enjoyed" all the "suggestions" that have been and are being made in this topic so conveniently called "Suggestion List". Make of that what you will. Now I would like to make a suggestion of my own. How about doing a podcast featuring Terence Witt? If you do...
