    Would Your Choice Change If You Could Choose Again?

    Well this isn't so much a question of free will as it is opinion, and inherently taste. If you discover that coffee conflicts with an ulser to a greater extent than tea, on the day of the experiment, then you would probably choose tea every time. Though free will is still present. Lets say...

    Exploring the Limits of Human Morals

    But in protecting your method you've contradicted your statement. Who is to say that those with "bad morals" have said negative attributes if there was not dogmatic theory to say that they do? If we were from a group that had those previously stated bad morals then we would think of them as...

    How does our understanding of time shape our perception of reality?

    You should read some Jean-Paul Sartre, relatively enough, he thinks along those same lines.

    High School Drop Test: Mass vs Horizontal Component

    Now it is more of a case of an objects weight determining it's ability to overcome air resistance and imperfections of a given surface. It would be a case of attempting to stop a toy truck vs a freight train, one is obviously going to be more susceptible to external resistance

    Beliefs of nothing and everything

    Would you care to elaborate on that? If it is more of a base question of the corruption of basic values of nihilism, then there has been that ever present problem in every philosophical ethos. If not then the question of "good or bad" is in turn one of the moral values that are discommunicated...

    Importance of words vs importance of talent

    Talent can go unpropegated and unobserved without the ability to convey the message, but there is an underlying sense of knowldge. Whereas one with the ability to convey messages well can be believed without any basis behind said satements.

    Medical Helping Suicidal Persons Find Relief Through Revenge

    Firstly I believe theoretically suicidal actions and vengance based actions are based off of completely different reference points and usually have different motivators; ie. which is better french fries or the color blue? There is a certain level of dimensional difference. Secondly, if an...

    Beliefs of nothing and everything

    But it is not the values that we have created within ourselves that, in the theoretics of nihilism, must be rebeled against, it is the archaic code of morality that, with its lack of basis and reson that must be extracted from our being. It is opressing our ability to fully envision and observe...

    Beliefs of nothing and everything

    Firstly I do believe that at the time of Kant and Nietzsche, when this final form of the philosophy was created, that there was no concept of computer simulated realities. Nihilism is more of an afirmation of a thought that Christian morality is a false concept, that passions and true...

    Beliefs of nothing and everything

    Actually the belief in everything simultaneously with nothingness is existentialism, which has its own complexities that are rather brilliant, not nihilism. Sartre not Nietzsche. And the belief in nothingness, as is claimed in nihilism, is quite attainable if faith is lost, or some insight into...

    Bullets & Gravity: How High Will It Go?

    Wouldn't the maximum velocity of any smaller caliber bullet be lower, even in a world of theoretically perfect fluid mechanics based to give minimal resistance and maximum aid, than the initial speed caused by the explosion?

    Medical Neural Engineering: Education and Research | USA & Beyond

    Is there the potential for limiting overactive neuroemission that has also been associated with physical debilitation, in cases such as parkinson's, Shy-Drager, ect?

    High School Is energy really 'another' entity?

    But in the context of this subject, if any form of sciences would be apt to explain the gap in common knowledge, I would assume that the developing theory of physical existence being composed of energy forms would fill the void in our known theoretics. Though, I do appreciate a response that...

    High School Is energy really 'another' entity?

    How has no one brought up the string theoretics, unless I am mistaken and it has already been stated, that all of matter and voids alike are composed of energy of different frequency?
