Going to Hell....

By the way, I should have said "the limitation of science-based atheism." Plenty of atheists just go with plain faith.

 

What do all ya'll atheist and agnostics use for braking markers in the corners? Is this the p-factor, how much piss you release after you have determined your error?

 

I used to go with the one that got me to work on Monday.

 

Depends on the corner.

 

“Oh look, the simulation started creating its own simulations, isn’t that cute!”

 

The funny thing that I have been discovering as I delve more into quantum physics, is that I just don’t know.

I don’t know if this universe was designed.
I don’t know if we are a computer simulation.
I don’t know if that black hole is a white hole in a different universe.
I don’t know if there are thousands of different versions of myself in alternate realities.
I don’t know if God exists.
I don’t know if aliens exist.
I don’t even know if gravity exists as we understand it.
I don’t know if this is some cosmic glitch and we exist by some slim miracle - and we will cease to exist at the end of our lives like we were never here at all.

I do know that someday - none of this will be here and we will likely have zero answers.

 

Don't feel bad. You are in good company. My daughter who is in her 4th year of an Astrophysics degree said that the professor and the autistic rain man kid were the only ones that understood quantum physics...

 

Great. Now I'm going to get nothing done tonight.

 

But it is a fantastic distraction from politics

I have listened to so many lectures on quantum theories in the last few months, my brain wants to crawl out of my head and slap me when I open You Tube.

I don’t think there is understanding it. It’s probably the Hail Mary of explaining gaps.

I got talked out of a Science field when I was entering college (no money in that) - but I always gravitate back to it.

Besides - I am really bad at math.

 

It takes faith to not believe in God. I wait for the proof of His non existence, since some here claim to “know”. Please, do post this proof so that we may all be learned and “know” there is no God.

 

That would make quantum quite a bit more difficult...

 

It only takes faith if someone is concerned about any one particular religion's idea of consequences for failing to believe. You may have faith in the God of Abraham and conversely, faith that every other deity throughout history is false, but I don't feel any need to reassure myself through faith that I've gotten it right either way. I guess that what I have faith in, regardless of creation or random occurrence, is that we are not individually special to a god - especially a "loving" god. I personally feel as though there is an overwhelming amount of evidence in support of this.

 

Did you just say all 5 in the Trilogy?

 

Mongo is not bound by the limits of dictionaries.

 

And it is all theory. I had an argument with a very smart coworker about the uncertainty principle which he claims is absolute. I told him only now as we might get a better understanding at another time. Of course time itself is not the absolute many think it is.

I could explain it all but then I would have to kill y'all.
