Re: Law of Intelligence
Nothingness is the total absence of any type of existence; therefore nothingness is totally non-relational and non-existent. And yet there it is, on this page, in your mind and in my mind. Nothingness is not totally non-relational, in fact just like everything else, it's relative to what it is not....

Yes, a person makes a choice, but whichever choice they make is completely determined by predetermining causes. For example, some people have more choices than others, and some people are more intelligent, more confident, more knowlegeable, etc. All these things determine what choice a person will ...

You're reading far too much into what the statement says. What you've postulated is: 1)Knowing our memories are reliable involves acts of reliable memory. 2)There is the possibility of unreliable memory. This is a statement of possibility. Possibility 1 Memory is unreliable. Therefore, We cannot kno...

To be clear, the formulation of the original question is complete gobbledygook. The reasoning is valid but the premises are unsound. It's garbage in - garbage out. First there's the abundance of words with the same meaning. So: The possibility of faulty memories may make it impossible to distinguish...

Bosons and fermions are subatomic particles -- unless they've changed the rules again. Seems like someone's trying to turn force into matter. Bosons are not only the force carriers. Protons and nuclei, which are 'matter' particles, can also be bosons. I'm still trying to work out how a massless par...

Re: Bose-Einstein Condensation
Because the Exclusion principle only applies to Fermions. Bose-Einstein condensates are made with, you guessed it, Bosons. From what I was reading (which was, admittedly, the cartoon version for fourth graders), they were using atoms of rubidium. Does an atom act like a boson here? I was thinking i...

Like you say, virtually all the energy is removed from a bunch of squashed together atoms by cooling them to almost absolute zero. Because we can now know the energy state (and therefore the momentum) of all these atoms very precisely, we can no longer know their position (the conjugate variable of...

Analog wrote: Any proof of the law of identity would necessarily depend on some form of the law of identity, so the reasoning MUST be circular, and constrained within a limited domain. It is circular, yes, but not constrained. This is because it is impossible for there to be a domain in which A=A d...

Nonlocality does violate the supposed universal speed limit. Scientists aren't generally pleased with nonlocality. But it's been proven that spatially separate particles can behave as though there is an instantaneous link between them. Make of it what you will. I'm not really thinking of it as backw...

Interestingly, in the last few months, new experimental data has come to light which might prove to be a nail in the coffin of both the Copenhagen AND Many Worlds interpretations. This is because the data seems to violate them both, whilst confirming the Transactional interpretation. This interpreta...

Re: Energy
If you're able to condense thousands of atoms into the same quantum state, wouldn't you then be able to 'recharge' these same 'cluster' atoms into a stable form of renewable energy? By using the same method, wouldn't you be able to provide an input/output interface for a quantum computer? Bose-Eins...

The Uncertainty principle is for 'real'. It describes a physical actuality, not a limitation of perception. For example, were this not the case, Bose-Einstein condensation would be impossible. I've just read up about Bose-Einstein condensation, but it doesn't seem to prove that the uncertainties of...
