I certainly agree that everything derives its reality and causal efficacy from outside itself. For me, the great question is whether the ultimate source of reality is transcendental [outside the "system" of the universe], or whether reality hangs together as a whole----everything deriving ...

I can't believe that so many intellligent people don't know what the difference is between males and females! The correct answer is so simple and basic! Are you gong to feel silly when I tell you the answer!

It is far in the future, small communities of Buddha’s have emerged, and they have isolated themselves from the masses using advanced technology that no longer makes them dependent on the bigger collective.

In my view, there is no contradiction between the "transactional interpretation" of quantum mechanics and the "jello block universe" model. However, the mathematical apparatus which I have been blessed to perceive arose out of questions concerning the universe as a whole, rather ...

In the Schrödinger Cat Experiment, in order to prevent the wave function from collapsing, the interior of the box must be completely sealed off from all outside influences. The one influence which cannot be blocked is gravitational influence. Gravity would cause the collapse of the wave function al...
