I have been very clear that mind from brain is the majority view while mind through brain the minority one, with or without God, with or without an afterlife. If the matter is settled, then why such an abundance of theories. In my original tread, I posted numerous observations that do not entirely match up with the conventional view of the mind-brain concept. Where is mind? Mind in nature! How does it work? In this tread, I expounded or added Jon Lieff - Secret Language of Cells, Paul Pietsch - Shuffle Brain, curious NDE cases, Robert Epstein - Empty Brain and Basal Cognition. From static brain to neuroplasticity. From brain as a computer to it not being one. From humans only to other lower life forms. From animals feeling no pain and having no sense of self to some that do. From synapses to other parts of neurons. From neurons to other cells. These are but just a few things that have changed in the last few years. I reiterate, recent findings-observations-data do not perfectly matchup with conventional wisdom. Non-physical/material does automatically imply metaphysicality. I too believe in science.

Bohmian Locality as an answer to Bell's inequalities
JosephStang replied to JosephStang's topic in Quantum Theory
Good question. I guess just "Ether" but not the field kind. More like pure flow. It's a bit tenuous, but 3D flow is clearly a superior theory than higher dimensional theories as long as it explains everything. Which part of the geometry doesn't make sense. It's a 3D geometry. Do you not understand the description? -

Temperature and degrees of freedom (split from Hypothesis about temperature)
KJW replied to KJW's topic in Classical Physics
Yes, pressure and temperature are statistical quantities. I never said that non-translational motion had no effect on each individual collision. But the universality of the ideal gas law is a testament to the statistical independence of pressure and temperature on non-translational motion. -
Bohmian Locality as an answer to Bell's inequalities
Bufofrog replied to JosephStang's topic in Quantum Theory
I'm sorry but none of this post seems to make any sense. I'm curious about this though, what is your definition of 'pure velocity'? -
Humans are so good at finding patterns that can find a pattern where none exists, which is why I think numerology like this seems so intriguing to some people. It takes a bit of critical thinking to realize that there is really nothing there.

do you believe demon possessions and fallen angels are real
Buffiebe replied to knowledgeispower917's topic in Religion
Sometimes I do find myself pondering things like demon possessions and fallen angels, especially when I hear about experiences that seem to defy explanation. It's like there's a sense of mystery and truth waiting to be uncovered. I've come across similar discussions before, and I've even encountered stories that make me wonder about the supernatural realm. It's fascinating how different perspectives can shed light on these matters. In case you're interested in exploring more, I found a blog that delves into this very debate. It might offer some insights or perspectives that resonate with you, especially when you need God's help in navigating these mysteries. -
Ah Hebrew. Why don't you put in "ballocks" and see what matches you get? That's the sort of thing I would do to demonstrate what rubbish it all is. Have you tried something like that?

From a non-nationalist perspective, no country should have overwhelming, asymmetric military ability. That's not how one maintains an equitable global peace. In that light, it was highly fortunate the Americans couldn't keep it to themselves.

Imagine a Toroid spinning like a wheel in its plane, and also twisting in the cross-section. Now imagine it spinning at the speed of light. A travelling wave on this geometry will go faster than light even though none of the Toroid is going faster than light. Travelling waves of smaller and smaller wavelength can be added on top of the first travelling wave, and there is no limit to the amount of smaller waves that can be added. I call this the Holonomic Toroid. It doesn't disprove Bell's inequalities, but it is a geometry that can be engineered to accomplish the superposition space. Bohm thought of this possibility but didn't imagine a geometry that can accomplish it. This geometry can. Here's a technical description. The Holonomic Toroid. Summary: A 3d Real Local Hidden Variable Theory with one force. It overcomes Bell’s inequalities with Bohmian style locality by mediating FTL information without energy using a spinning ring. Description: Each electron/proton is a ring. The ring is pure velocity. The velocity is the substance and the motion. The only law is like attracts and unlike repels. The ring spins at light speed. The energy spins in the circumference as it twists in the cross-section. These two velocities create the electric and magnetic force effects. The ring is at equilibrium when the attractive force generated by the twist in the cross section counteracts the repulsive force generated by the spin in the circumference. In the presence of another ring, these two force effects create waves in each other. The waves are deformations in the shape of the energetic ring. Just like waves that move on a rope when you wave it up and down, these waves travel along the circumference of the ring, and because the ring spins at light speed, these waves travel faster than light, without any energy travelling faster than light. This information is energyless FTL information. The waves create precessions in the ring. The precession in the gravity direction is gravity. The precessions in all other directions are nuclear bonding and inertia. The waves on a ring can phase lock with other rings and this causes entanglement. The precessions of each ring define its Heisenberg Uncertainty Sphere. Each ring has a finite amount of circumference to transfer between its precessions, its circumference, and its cross section, and this causes relativity.

Wow, so much to unravel here. Yes. The scientific background was in the open. So it would be just a matter of time. And then the point Swansont mentioned: That is true, more or less. But Japan simply did not capitulate. So the war could have taken much longer, taking many lives of American soldiers. Yes, but only after Germany was defeated. Heisenberg was in charge. The infamous meeting between Heisenberg and Bohr in 1941, gave the latter the impression that the Nazis were making serious work of the atomic bomb, and brought this impression to the US. Yep. I have seen the 'atom cellar' in Haigerloch: Does not quite compare to Los Alamos, is it? I would not put my hand in the fire for this, but it surely was a reason: Truman said something like this about the Soviets and the atomic bomb: "Now we have a real hammer on those boys". Another reason might have been to have a 'real live test'. A hint for this is the second bomb. One of the A-bombs was a U-235, the other a plutonium bomb. Wouldn't it be interesting to compare their effects 'in the field'? About the capitulation of Japan: there was a struggle between the civilian government and the military. The government wanted to give up, the military wanted to fight until the bitter end. One of the struggling points was the position of the emperor. The US wanted an unconditional capitulation, the Japanese government found that the position of the emperor could not be discussed. In the end the Japanese government made a very unusual proposal: let the emperor decide. In the meantime the first atomic bomb was dropped. If this fact had an influence on the decision of Hirohito is not known, fact is that he chose to capitulate. His speech in which he called for the capitulation was recorded, to be brought to the Japanese radio studios. Radical militaries tried to steal the recording on its way to the radio station, but they did not succeed. Hirohito's speech was broadcasted, and Japan capitulated. And the US more or less let the emperor untouched. Had the US made it known that the emperor could stay earlier, Japan might also have capitulated earlier. Maybe the A-bombs would not have been necessary. Main source: Bert Röling, who was a.o. member of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (also called the Tokyo Tribunal, similar to the Nürnberg Tribunal in Germany). Hmmm. Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch were hardly Nazis, they were Jewish and fled Germany in 1938. Otto Hahn: Fritz Strassmann: So four of the 'main characters' were definitely not Nazis. Equating 'German' and 'Nazi' is simply wrong, also during WWII.

The actual example was in Hebrew. But the above example is in English ( just an example showing how the numbers and letters are assigned).

I’m confused by this. How do you get 14 out of the letters in David? Isn’t v alone 22?

I'm currently doing a little research on Gematria. Would like to hear some opinions from the scientific community. Gematria Brief Intro: In its simplest form, gematria involves assigning a numerical value to each English letter. The numerical values are assigned based on the order of the letters in the English alphabet. For example, the letter A has a value of 1, the letter B has a value of 2, and so on. Gematria can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used to find hidden meanings in the Bible, For example, the name 'David' has a numerical value of 14, which is the same numerical value of the word 'king.' This suggests that David was destined to be king, In general, any words or phrases sharing the same numerical value are considered potentially connected and containing hidden meaning. You can read more about it here : Gematria Wikipedia | Gematria History And Its Present Usage Modern English Gematria Usage: Example 1: Entering the phrases "Thriller Album," "Grammy Award," "Chimpanzee Bubbles," and "Painkiller" into a Gematria Decoder reveals that they are all connected with "Michael Jackson." image showing "thriller album", "grammy award" and more has matching values (in red color) with "Micheal Jackson" Example 2: In the 2024 Taiwan presidential election, there were three candidates: Lai Ching-te, Hou Yu-ih, and Ko Wen-je. Entering their names into the Gematria Decoder revealed that only Lai Ching-te has a connection with the word "President," and indeed, Lai Ching-te emerged as the winner and became the President of Taiwan. If these results are pure coincidental, why are there so many relevant matches? Here are the questions: 1. How do you explain this phenomenon from the perspective of probability and coincidence? From the perspective of true believers, a single gematria value can be associated with many words and phrases. Making sense of them all involves connecting the relevant words and filtering out those that aren't relevant. This process requires strong intuition, knowledge of the subject of interest and unconventional thinking to establish connections and unveil hidden meanings. 2. How do you explain to true believers that their train of thought on gematria is seriously flawed?

@KJW. I understand that you regard my last few posts as too much of a waste your precious time to be worth responding to. But I trust that in turn, you will not object to me regarding your silence, particularly wrt the non-conservation of linear momentum in general gas collisions, as concessions to the arguments presented. Live long and prosper.

If you weren't in hot water writing this post, you would have read (or between the lines i.e. in good faith) that we were talking about the potential bombing of Tokyo.. so, I was not comparing Hiroshima vs Washington, but Tokyo vs Washington, i.e. destruction of capital city of 1st country vs destruction of capital city of 2nd country.. Which is quite obvious from my statement. Thus, the introduction of Hiroshima into this topic is out of place, as I was comparing destruction of two capitals..

I meant no disrespect, but what you're discussing here isn't much different from our previous exchanges other than perhaps your clearer assertion of mind emerging from some non-physical/material source. If I've misunderstood, my apologies; however, any assertion of mind emerging without a brain or some functionally similar structure is ludicrous without a basis in science. From all you have discussed here, you have not sufficiently nor convincingly provided such a basis. From nearly half-century in private study of the dreaming brain and now amid the twilight of my life, I want to believe that their could be something more to the nature of the mind than I have discovered...but I believe in the science, I believe in the objective truths good science provides. To believe in something more may be comforting, but it's a lie if not proven or provable and I, personally, won't believe in a lie.

The circumstances surrounding this and Hiroshima are hardly comparable.

How many M-Type asteroids will Earth (truly) need?
Ken Fabian replied to GeeKay's topic in Other Sciences
@Phi for All There may be imaginary "better" uses in space - never any shortage of those - but the only advanced industrialized economy that actually has high demand and high value uses for PGM's and can pay for them, the only one at all - is Earth's. The 'but we can use in space' is sort of right; most of what any proposed asteroid mining operation produces will be for use in space, as essential to being able to deliver resources of high value to Earth - like fuel for the rockets. There is no independent space economy only outposts of Earth's economy. Sure, if my proposed test case worked it could deliver small amounts of usable asteroid materials eg water, raw nickel-iron, carbonaceous material to NEO there could be demand for them from whatever space stations there are. But what are those space stations doing that makes a profit? I've asked this before but no-one can answer without getting all imaginary. Taxpayer funded space stations that make no profits using such materials may reduce their costs doing that, but the overall totality still relies on Earth subsidy, just a bit less direct. I don't think any projects in space can achieve self perpetuating growth unless the economics work. What are those activities in orbit that pay their own way with enough left over to support future growth? Subsidy until it works isn't good enough; we need a lot better than that to commit the levels of investment needed. Without a way to deliver tangible returns to Earth investors it is just dreaming. -

No. To better fight a war. Nothing magical about nuclear weapons, they are just like other weapons only more powerful. They also worked to develop radar, better and faster planes, jet engines, etc. None of these were to show off; they were to help win a war.
