SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the philosophical inquiry into the existence of concepts beyond matter, space, and the governing rules of the universe. Participants express difficulty in conceptualizing entities outside these fundamental elements, highlighting the challenge of thinking beyond known parameters. The discussion emphasizes the importance of adhering to the forum's guidelines, which restrict speculative discussions that blur the lines between real science and fiction.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic philosophical concepts regarding existence
  • Familiarity with the principles of physics, particularly matter and space
  • Knowledge of the distinction between speculative fiction and real-world science
  • Awareness of forum guidelines regarding acceptable discussion topics
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore philosophical texts on metaphysics and existence
  • Research the principles of physics related to matter and space
  • Study the guidelines of science fiction forums to understand discussion boundaries
  • Investigate the role of speculative fiction in exploring scientific concepts
USEFUL FOR

Philosophers, science fiction writers, and enthusiasts interested in the boundaries of scientific inquiry and speculative thought.

Everything in our universe can be said to be matter, universe or rules that govern it.
So can you think of something other than that which a universe can have? (I'm not even sure if I understand this question but still)
I know it's hard for us to think of something that we do not know but can we have something other that matter, space and rules that govern them.

I'm not really writing a sci-fi novel/movie but I suppose this question best fits here.
Also hope my question makes sense!

This thread does not meet the science fiction and fantasy forum rules
https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=680313

This forum is for the discussion of science fiction and fantasy stories.

Discussions of the internal workings of a fictional universe are allowed but any attempt to discuss speculative fiction ideas with regard to the real world is not. For example: discussing the pros/cons/handwavium of a fictional technology with regards to a plot is perfectly ok but asking how such technology could be built in the real world and what the ramifications would be is not. This is a grey area and mentors reserve the right to close a thread when they think it violates this rule.

Members are advised to particularly take care during the discusson of near-future and hard science fiction; ensure a clear distinction between real science and speculative fiction. Personal theories are strictly not allowed.

The global guidelines are still in effect. This applies in particular the forbidden topic list: https://www.physicsforums.com/showpost.php?p=3929007&postcount=2 Any obvious crackpottery and links to crackpot sites will be deleted.
