Another "Chi" demonstration

I think the soul is harpooned by invisible astral plane pirates who then eat them and poop out my most intimate thoughts.

The amount of evidence for my theory: A==A :The amount of evidence for your theory.

You seem to have a poor understanding of the words "energy", "density", and "vibration".

So does the word "love". It can mean different things, which means you all use nominalism. A==A!.

For the sake of clear communication you should let us know that you are using words in a non-standard way. Please define "energy", "density", and "vibration" as you understand them to apply to the "Astral realm".
 
Waffling on Zeno's Paradox

Hypernicus said:
In this case use Zeno's Paradox. He proved for over two thousands year ago that movementtransfer of particles is impossible. Today many believe that 0.9999....=1 because they are brainwashed and Zeno was thus wrong.
Click to expand...

The error of Zeno's "paradox" is the unexamined assumption that an infinite number of events require an infinite amount of time to occur.

In fact, an infinite number of events can happen in a finite amount of time.

If you are a computer programmer and simulate reality in a computer, you find that you need an infinite amount of time to simulate an infinite number of discrete events.

The fact that Achilles will indeed beat the turtle and 0.999... ==1 (and uncountable other examples) proves that reality is not a computer program or a computer screen bitmap.

REALITY != COMPUTER_SIMULATION

On the other hand, Hypernicus is turtle. Reality is Achilles. It will take an infinite amount of time for reality to catch slow deluded turtle brain. Thus Zeno was right. A==A

Good one, heh.. Realize that you haven't got the slightest evidence of astral planes.. It's but alchemy nonsense converted to new age baloney, and then mixed with highly speculative string theory proposals to make it look good.

Is there any nonsense you don't believe in? Maybe we should take it from there instead.

Look, a very basic premise for communication is that people speak the same language. If you want to use special definitions of common words, the least you can do is to define them first.
But I suspect that you have no intention of defining them, because then you can't hide behind them anymore.
 
Just wondering... could the champion golfer (and frighteningly snappy dresser) whose last name is Rodriguez be employing this mystical force when he smites the ball with his mighty club? His nickname seems to indicate this.
 
What is in between two steps?
How does one go from bit 1 to bit 2? Instantaneously?

Just like a graphic card showing dots on a monitorscreen.
The dots are turned on and off. The world is exactly like that.

A triangle is never 180 degrees, but close, so the world
also operates with bits. The only reason why we can make
a computer is because that is the way the world operates.

Wrong again.

Judging by that statement, you don't have the faintest idea how to make a computer. I've made computers. Computers work with binary electronics because carefully designed circuits have to overcome fuzzy non-binary physical reality.

Nope, they're not. They can take on various brightness levels. At 24 bits per pixel the brightness can be adjusted with fineness far exceeding the eye's ability to distinguish between adjacent levels.

Unless you're still using a Hercules monochrome card and a green-on-black monitor, that is.

The world is exactly like that.

Exactly. Switching circuits have to be forced to act as switches. Given a choice I think they'd rather operate in the linear region, amplifying their favorite music. But we engineers have to go and coerce them into switching-mode operation.

Seems cruel to me but it's a living.
 
I take it that nothing is inbetween these two steps? If that is what you are saying, how do you measure time?
Click to expand...
Time is what humans perceive in the physical world of movements.
A second isn't universal, it is human-made.

Yes, it is.

Everyone says it is without proving it. How would you prove that a triangle is exactly 180 degrees? The world can only be described with Eucledic geometry, shapes doesn't exist in vacuum.
