I'm not the brightest there is but isn't the passage of time and the advance of consciousness basically really the same thing? What would be passing through the consciousness but external nature as we perceive it? Second question I think it's a little of both. I can stop at the stop sign or...

I was watching something on this the other day, about how serial killers or odd people who were brought up well but still turn out to be the opposite of how they were brought up. Pondering it, I came up with a few questions. Could too much nuture lead to negative feelings towards people...

Love is of course give and take. It is said that you should give more than what you take, but it is also said that in the end it is always equal. Love is also that the fruit gives to you, only after it has been cut from its tree. hypnagogue - About highways, do you think nature loves them...

Life came from out of the Earth into the Seas. From there, Life took over Land. From there... We colonize, every species does. We'll take over the universe if we lived (our species) long enough (that is if this damn thing called 'reality' is finite.) Is that the purpose? Probably one...

Light, Gravity, and other forms of Physics would not existence without a concept of time. Even in motion, you would not understand. I don't know if all animals on Earth have a definite concept of time, but they surely exist fine. And wisely, I believe. ****, alligators been around for what...

Chemical thing going on my head, granted. Why am I experiencing it?... lol.

Scientifically explain to me how I am me, and not you, even though we have the same properties and systems of science, we're still separate observers. How does this work and why is it separated into bodies? Why do I exist in my head?

This game is fun, and addicting. I can land outpost 1 everytime now... outpost 2 nearly every time.. outpost 3 is too simple. outpost 4 I have yet to land, but I've only been to it once. You have more control over the craft if it's going really slow (inertia is mean). While going thru the...

Questions, oh dear lord questions... This 'Experience Machine'... Would it be made to have uncertainty? Would everything be certain? (programmed). You would control your 'virtual life' with your real brain, wouldn't you? So your choices would not always be certain there either? I believe...

A pursuit/purpose in life is to have sex and to reproduce? What if one believes their purpose is otherwise such like Newton, who may have died a virgin? My purpose in life is connecting the dots. You know those books with numbered dots? That's my purpose, to connect them.

What controls Gravity? I heard, in String Theory, that a Graviton does such, which is a particle.

The Sun has effect on its Planets (and vice versa). The Planets have an effect on their Moons (and vice versa). Do nearby Stars effect the Sun (and vice versa)? If this is true, how large of an effect could there be? What would be the cause of the effects? Would it have anything to do...

Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity do not like each other. Yet, we perceive that Quantum Mechanics are the 'basics' of all things, or the startings of all larger things. But this is just it, why is it Quantum Mechanics governs ALL and General Relativity only runs the vast and large? Why...

By that logic these posts are irrelevant, the rock would be defined the same way.. "The problem with "the rock" is that something has to proclaim the existence of "the rock" in order for "the rock" to exist. This being the case, "the rock" then becomes something because something is observing...

That non-existing has no meaning and existing does. Just as you put it. A rock would have no meaning and be in the state of existence such as nothing if it weren't so. We wouldn't be able to talk about it, or atleast prove such a thing as a rock exists other than in the state of nothing. I...
