No, there is no proof for potential. While we can make extremely educated guesses, there is always that damn uncertainty principle.

but what's really being asked here is whether or not "personal risk" can outweigh "personal gain" in any human decision...i.e. saving your enemy's life would give your conscious some peace of mind, and you would therefore be "personally gaining". thoughts anyone? is it possible? I think...

well, you can't...i don't think...or at least not in the way you think you exist all you can prove is that something exists. although we can never prove or even accurately contemplate the actual state of that something, it must exist because we can recognize it..?..for example, when I walk down...

What exactly does this equation represent? Sorry for the ignorance guys, but it seems that if you are referring to the equation as a whole as beautiful, then that opinion is the result of the subjective nature of beauty; if you are referring to the result as a unit of beauty, then explain why...

No...the time would be changing

No...Time cannot exist without change. Even in the absence of ALL other elements, the time itself would still be changing.

Yes! Thank you! I've been trying to put this into words for about 2 weeks now...ha ha thank you, I think your whole reply is very accurate.

But is this even a plausible scenario?? Can we really do ANYTHING that is truly detached from, or rather unaffected by our experiences, desires, knowledge, etc?

But even in software, the matrices of ones and zeros exist materially somehow in the hardware you describe. Emotions are likewise physical...yes a process but a physical one which does take up space. Feel free to debunk! (also stands for my previous reply)

Yes, emotions and even ideas are simply chemical reactions...we have a funny tendency to place them into some unknown dimension separate from the physical universe; just a response to the physical universe. While this is partly true, they are also part of the physical universe...so...

But still... seeing these ideas or objects as harmonious as described above is undeniably subjective and personal, right?

No, you're taking an empty box and putting a box of putty inside it..you haven't destroyedd the nothing...It's still there as much as the putty is.

You know what? I'm going to go change my user name right now so that condescending male chauvinist pigs cannot dismiss me upon gaining the knowledge of my gender. In my defense, the title of this site is Physics and Math HELP...I thought I made it quite clear that I was looking for help and...

No, he's right...the only "conclusion" is an answer which cannot be contradicted by further questioning...

Also, infinity is inconcievable to us because the only reality that we can currently percieve is one in which time exists and therefore, change is the beginning to everything... or in other words, everything has a beginning within the realm of our perception, so we cannot actually deny or prove...
