Re: Descartes: "I Think Therefore I Am"
Yes,identification with thought, is likened to a dream. The dream of separation, the illusory nature of reality. (Maya) Advaita Vedanta is the end of knowledge, the return to innocence. “The stream of knowledge is heading towards a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a gre...

Re: Descartes: "I Think Therefore I Am"
You’re a thought. What is a thought but the addiction to an illusory fabricated narrative. Thoughts in the brain computer are mixed with real and abstract topics. Maybe that is why my life is an illusion (Maya according to Vedanta) 'Life', Itself, would only be 'an illusion' if 'Life' could not be ...

Re: What is spacetime?
Time is the dimension of space expanding or contracting relative to another space. .... That is one of many ways of looking at it. "The views of space and time which I wish to lay before you have sprung from the soil of experimental physics, and therein lies their strength. They are radical. H...

What is spacetime?
What is spacetime? Everything in SRT, GRT and quantum mechanics is done in so-called "space-time", which is a kind of virtual 4D geometry. But if SRT is correct and if QM is the basis for successful modern technology, then space-time cannot be a virtual, abstract structure. Space-time must...

Re: 4 March 2025. Why exactly is the quantum world so weird?
The weirdness of quantum theory is largely self-imposed. The EPR paper demonstrates that if you believe the wave function is a complete description of the physical system, it leads to absurdities. Ever since Bell's theorem, people just accepted that maybe quantum mechanics is absurd, and so they st...

Re: Ghost Particles
When the Higgs boson appeared at the LHC in 2012, where did it come from? Then, when it disappeared, where did it go? I wonder the same thing for all of these hard to isolate and figure out particles. The Higgs boson is indeed associated with the Higgs field, which is responsible for giving mass to...
