PI: More mokeys with Typewriters!? There exists a recent post on the subject of an infinite amount of monkeys doing a lot of typing. You know the premise. I was going to post this there, but figured it might deserve to be a new thread altogether. There's this number- Pi: 3.14159... and off...

I came to this forum to post the same question: "could god make a stone so heavy that he can't lift it?" I find that someone has already posted this extremely coincidental. We assume, of course, that God's abilities are without boundary. Quite a paradox, eh? If God could create such...

Does this not imply a desire to sacrifice for children? Things taste good for a reason: in attaining pleasure from caloric substances we are able to sustain our bodies, in the fact that we will turn to food when hungry (as opposed to inedible substances). I am sure there is an instictual...

Mother Terhesa, bless her soul. Though selfless? I think not. If I care so much for someone that I would do anything for them, is it not because caring for them made ME feel good?

That one should be able to end life before the chance arrives to reproduce, I don't suspect that suicidal tendency (least before children-begetting) Should be around too long. Unless of course it is a result of non-genetic factor (which it very-well may be). Regardless, do you wear a...

Nikes are still cooler than any genaric brand. Why? Consensus reality perhaps? Regardless if a cartell creates an "artificial" demand or not on genuine (earth-made) diamonds, it does not negate from the fact that it is a demand none the less. If I am convinced that earth-made diamonds are...

It was after reading all of Zeno's paradoxes that I decided to pose the question. I am also familiar with Hegel.

what the heck is motion anyway?? How can things even move?

okay so i read up a bit and the solution seems to be something in that because the sum of the series ½ + ¼ + 1/8 + ... is equal to 1. The total time is finite because each step is done in half as much time as the previous step. But I still don't understand.

Moving in Frames?? okay, so let's say I ran 3 miles. At one point, I must have been halfway between start and finish right? From the halfway point, I must have existed halfway from there and the remaining 1.5 miles also. And halfway between THAT point and the finish. Then halfway from THAT...

It is also a fact that FTL speeds, ipsum et quo, are not rooted in determinate causality in accordance with the classic Newtonian model. As a result, lorem dorete, spawining from anderson's paradox and the fundimentals of particle spin - wave fields cannot be dermined outside of a...

as all observations and feelings are merely electrical impulses interpreted by my brain, who's to say any laws of physics really apply? who's to say I'm not a machine made of iron led to believe i am a man with a meat-computer in my head. who's to say I'm not in The Matrix (TM)?

thank you all that posted! as i am naieve in my knowledge of physics, i am nonetheless adept at learning. as my knowledge partly stems from the questions i ask, and when an apparent inconsistancy or misunderstanding will frustrate me; i am glad i may ask my questions in such a community...

hegel's dialectic is as follows: thesis + antithesis = synthesis the synthesis of the previous dialectic then forms the thesis of the next, mixing with another antithesis to produce a synthesis on a higher level - this synthesis then becomes a thesis again etc. Hegel argued that...

fate The world obeys causality within the laws of physics. IF this happens, then THAT will result. I have a few pounds of meat in my head that bounce electrons off of neurons according to the laws of physics that cannot act in any other way. They do so in such a fashion as to convince...
