If nothingness is not a factor in motion, how would you say that anything moves? Two particles can't occupy the same location, can they? So if it's all just solid particles, how would anything move? (Hence Parmenides' ontology.)

Re: Infinity is real
The idea of an existent that isn't matter/relations of matter/processes of matter is incoherent.
Re: Infinity is real
Space has properties. Therefore, it is a substance. Therefore, it exists on its own.Terrapin Station wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 12:48 amThe idea of an existent that isn't matter/relations of matter/processes of matter is incoherent.bahman wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 12:31 amIt is not.Terrapin Station wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 12:25 am

Re: Infinity is real
It exists as matter exists. It allows that information to pass by between two particles for example. The spread of information is however at most is by the speed of light. This is one of the properties of space.Terrapin Station wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 1:50 amIs it a substance in the sense of being matter?bahman wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 12:53 amSpace has properties.

Re: Infinity is real
Well that is one VERY TRULY ABSURD thing to say and suggest.
Re: Infinity is real
"No", in relation to 'what', EXACTLY?
And, WHY do you write in riddles so often?
WHY would you write something like this?bahman wrote: ↑Thu Feb 11, 2021 4:53 amYou believe that the universe is infinite.Age wrote: ↑Thu Feb 11, 2021 3:18 am An ASSUMPTION does NOT suffice for an ACTUAL true premise.
ASSUMING will NEVER suffice in PROVING ANY ACTUAL 'thing'.
The end might, coincidentally, show some 'thing', which just happens to be True, Right, or Correct, but by ASSUMING that does NOT necessarily mean that that 'thing' is True, Right, nor Correct. For that, ACTUAL PROOF is NEEDED. ASSUMPTIONS ARE NOT PROOF.
By the way, the 'whole' includes absolutely every thing, which happens to include the 'boundary'as well.
LOOK, the whole is infinite, the fence his is ALREADY KNOWN. Full stop.
And there is NO one who could refute this FACT, anyway.
Especially considering how obviously UNTRUE it is?
If you are asking here, if I have proof that the Universe is infinite, then my answer is YES.
Re: Infinity is real
Okay. Could you be wrong at all?
And, what are you basing your perspective on and off from, EXACTLY?
'What' and/or 'who' is that 'one', EXACTLY?
So, do 'unicorns', 'dragons', and 'draculas' live and have reality as real living things, or, just live and have reality in imagination only?
Re: Infinity is real
No, in relation to the fact that for proving that the whole is infinite I need to assume otherwise and show that this leads to a problem, the existence of the boundary.
I am not writing in riddles.
Because I read that you think that the universe is infinite.Age wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 4:14 amWHY would you write something like this?bahman wrote: ↑Thu Feb 11, 2021 4:53 amYou believe that the universe is infinite.Age wrote: ↑Thu Feb 11, 2021 3:18 am An ASSUMPTION does NOT suffice for an ACTUAL true premise.

It is untrue? Then why you say below that you have proof for it.
What is your proof?
Re: Infinity is real
Re: Infinity is real
All sounds very unnecessary and unnecessarily complex.
But each to their own.
Is this an irrefutable absolute truth, or just from your perspective only?
LOL So, you read that I 'think' something, but then you tell me that I 'believe' something.
These are two VERY different things.
What I have proof for has absolutely NO bearing on what I believe or not.
But I do LOOK AT and SEE the 'believe' word VERY DIFFERENTLY than you adult human beings do, in the days of when this was written.
There is NO 'my' proof.
What ACTUALLY exists is thee proof.
If 'you', human beings agree with and accept that EVERY 'thing' was caused by some 'thing', then that is thee ACTUAL proof thee Universe is 'eternal', and, if 'you', human beings agree with and accept that thee Universe can NOT be bounded, then that is thee ACTUAL proof thee Universe is 'infinite'.
Now, if ANY disagrees with either of these, then EXPLAIN HOW some 'thing' can be caused by NO 'thing' and/or HOW there could be a boundary.
If there is NO logical explanation for HOW either could be, then there is "your" logical proof that thee Universe is 'infinite' AND 'eternal'.
As for empirical proof, we can LOOK AT and DISCUSS this later.
Re: Infinity is real
WHY are 'you' so SURE of "yourself" here?
Being SO SURE of "yourselves" is WHY 'you', human beings, in the days of when this is written, are so SLOW and CLOSED in discovering, learning, and understanding more and new things.
You can argue till the day you cannot anymore. But without proof your arguments are, literally, NOTHING AT ALL.
If you cannot or will NOT tell us what you are basing your arguments off EXACTLY, then what you are saying is not really worth listening to.
So, to you, the 'one' is really 'many', correct?
AGAIN, as real living things, or, just in imagination only?
Could you REALLY NOT SEE what I was asking here?
Re: Infinity is real
All are necessary and simple.
It is the absolute truth.
I know. I should have said think instead of believe in the first place.
Ok.
The universe has a beginning. So you are wrong in your belief that it is eternal. For the second case, infinite universe, why do you think that the universe cannot be bounded?Age wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 4:14 amThere is NO 'my' proof.

Re: Infinity is real
Because I have a solid argument for it.
Yes, including yourself that think that the universe is eternal.
The proof is there.
I see what you are asking. And yes, they are living beings.
