That's because the one who asked those questions may have not known, and this site is a means to find out. I haven't known the things which you talked about either. Well, I myself am a 17 year old, and felt offended, and I thought that the thread starter is a 17 year old too (is he not?)...

loseyourname, Excuse me sir, but this forum is opened to the masses, or isn't it? And I believe the questions raised by those "unproffessional 17 year olds" were fundamantal to humankind; don't you think? Also, the 17 year old wanted to know, which is the function of philosophy. And you...

This was a very interesting read. Great questions. But I believe you are mystifying things a bit. You speak about yourself experiencing the universe from a particular perspective and personality. The thing is that you are that particular perspective and that particular personality. I...

I question philosohpy in all its time periods: what have I done if I have found out that the Universe has a beginning or not? What have I done if I have found out what existence exactly is? What have I done if I found out wheter humans have free will or not? But it seems to me that these...

1+1=only1 How do you define "soul"? What makes you say that we have the same soul? Is it because we mostly think alike, enjoy the same things, etc? You cannot be two beings at the same time (or ever). You will be the original set of atoms from which the copies parted. You'll have another...

Then you'd have a photon appearing out of no particular reason (or better said, out of nothing) in your own time frame, considering you were observing those particles prior to the change of quantum state. Also, are you suggesting that photons may be an information-carying medium? And I would...

Then it must have been a myth of mine; I've never completely understood Relativity since I haven't read it in my native language. Are tachyons without mass too? I've heard that they go beyond the speed of light. What happens if something has a speed greater than the one it needs to reach a...

Taken from http://http://ssscott.tripod.com/BigBang.html Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity says that an object traveling at the speed of light will go into the future, and an object traveling at speeds more than the speed of light will go back into the past. Is this correct? Why...

I believe the author of the thread wanted to ask us people if we can prove to him that we exist. Thus, the answer "yes, I can prove I exist" is valid, but only if you're trying to prove it to yourself; If the one who answered wants to prove his existence to the rest of us, he'll have to make...

What is the dualist view on mind? Does it argue for the spirit? You have mentioned "units" when you spoke about the free will; what kind of units? Here's my view about "free will": The brain works just like electrical circuits when it comes to thinking. Its ability to choose is set by the...

And how would you convert my illusory concept of "now" and "then" into objective truth? If space time is but a concept, then can I ask where and when those configurational inter-relationships between quantum objects do they exist? If that question is nonsensical, then, can something...
