Most physicists are a bit nutty however. Fading away is exactly what we expect from physics, because evolution built eyes, ears, and noses, and touch to communicate with particular atoms, and photons. We were not made to communicate with other particles. A fish does not want to see water, else it would be blind. fading away eliminates the noise. Just because something fades away does not mean that it becomes a nothing. Size isn't important, a particle could be as big as a Galaxy, and break down into smaller parts. We tend to think of the particles growing bigger, but Dinosaurs changed into smaller creatures.Dennis Mahar wrote:is that entity existing in its own right independent of conceptual designation?We have a mind.
no, because it is known by 'attributes'.
it has those attributes and cannot be equated with them.
nothing can be found that exists in its own nature independent of conceptual designation.
The physicist louis de Broglie recognised such when he wrote:
May it not be universally true that the concepts humans produce when formulated in a slightly vague form are roughly valid for reality, but that when extreme precision is aimed at, they become ideal forms whose content fades away.
We look at a table and believe tableness exists independent of conceptualising mind.
there is no table there.
there is an infinite array of causes.
There is not an infinite array of causes, because the butterfly effect breaks down to a meaningless state when it cannot penetrate our scale. I hit a mountain with a feather, it becomes meaningless, and the same thing happens to very small particles, they mean nothing to our universe, but still mean something to particles close to their own scale.
I think that a lot of confusion comes from stupid scientists. They create ideas that are like science fiction. The Big Bang, Time, Dimensions, Action At A distance, Waves. So people think that the Universe must be an illusion. The Universe is a simple fractal, and there is nothing clever about it. There are no time warps, Worm Holes, Bending of a vacuum, pull forces.
The illusion of a complicated spacetime comes from crazy scientists with delusions. I ignore them. Einstein was a bit crazy, and the craziness spread like wildfire. Newton was living in the 1700's and that craziness still lives on.
If you forget all of the complicated ideas that scientists have come up with over the years, there is nothing more than holes , and fillers.
The mind has to be using physics to think. It may be creating a completely false Universe, but the reality of where our mind exists will be made from a natural formation of particles.
You can never replace particles with anything else. Science uses waves to replace particles at the tiniest scales.. scientists are stupid.
