I can't answer because I don't know.

Dimension - a measurable extent of a particular kind, such as length, breadth, depth, or height. (My bolding; it is only using volume as an example). It could also be force which has the dimensions of mass and acceleration.

Only one new word at a time, please, Mordred; don't make me consult a dictionary twice in a day.

Yes, reality, as we know it, is a macro phenomenon and radio waves are not a macro phonomenon; the ontology of them is a mathematical.one. Any thing fundamental, like photons, are made up of measurable parameters but what they are as an entity is subject to modelling, which can change with new information. What scientists know about fundamental phenomena is always an abstraction; they are outside of our physical sensibilities to detect without apparatus.

Anything that can be measured has dimensions. A dimension is a variable. Thanks.

Whatever preceded spacetime; dimensions relate to any parameters, not just spatial ones. Nothing is required, it is required by your commosense and that has been proven many times to be false; speaking generally and not personally.

I was referring to spatial dimensions, not dimensions of other parameters. When I was referring to 'space', I meant that which photons, or other things, can travel through and relay information to other areas that they may travel to..

The simulations are not trying to show relativistic viewpoints, as I said before. I'm only interested in the current view, not my imagination or whether it concurs with it; you should do the same too. That is the state of the current art. You fuss about irrelevances and minutiae too much. I don't want that to come across as ill-tempered, it's a sincere observation.

That brick, that the brickie has just dropped above me, will not hit my head. Yes, as per HSE directives, I've got a lid on.

I think that has shades of Buddhism, whereby we project out what we see. Certainly, what we see is a construction of our minds and not a literal photograph-like image where we passively record all what passes into our eyes and we see that with our 'mind's eye'; it is selective as to what data is used and how it is used.

Some info about that universe-in-a-box-simulation. This video puts you in amongst the filaments.

Both. I doubt it is made to that degree of finesse or that it is even desired. It doesn't matter, the universe looks the same in all directions; it's isotropic. It doesn't represent the whole universe; just a a cube section of volume size that I can't remember right now. The still sequences represent the formation of the filaments over time. The images are snapshots from a computer-generated, animated simulation showing an extrapolation of the universe's evolution using observed data, plugging in the parameters of the Cold Dark Matter Model and letting the program run. The boxes are sample sections, not the whole universe, and relativistic effects in the simulation will not be modelled; it's not what that simulation-model is trying to show. Models describe pre-defined aspects of the phenomena under investigation; they are not the whole story, just like geographical maps illustrate only certain aspects of the territory. Here's the movie of that simulation:

Yeah, that's what seems to happen in the universe-in-a-box simulations. Mass-density won't be even along the filaments.

If they aren't born with that testosterone level and it's high then that's doping , which is illegal. How do you differentiate the natural from the doper, I don't know but I stand by the principle

She was born a woman, therefore, she qualifies to compete in womens events. Simple. Like Delta says, where do you draw the line. That's her talent.

He is his own worse enemy.

Certain types of fatty acid-based vesicles can reproduce. These are hypothesised to be the initial principle structure of protocells; precursors of modern cells.These vesicles falsify the statement: only living things can reproduce. It is an insufficient property, on its own, to define life. Reference: http://Self-Reproduction of Fatty Acid Vesicles: A Combined Experimental and Simulation Study

But it's not just one particle; it's a rather large number of them spontaneously and randomly doing so. The distribution will be heterogenous because of that randomness and that's what ultimately, it is hypothesised, to have determined the large-scale structure.

GR only explains the macro world; bigger than an atom.

That's what I thought.

Tyranny of the majority?

Yes, I like the idea that we are transient manifestations of the universal corpus that is constantly recycling itself to make new ones.

But what about hard-wired, efferent stimuli; thoughts or cognitions developed from stimuli that have an edogenous origin?

At what stage of development will you render the subject insensate for the purposes of this topic? From birth? If the subject has a developed memory and subsequently experienced sensory deprivation then it will suffer; for a while at least, I would think. There is also the manner of deprivation to consider: does one give them drugs to cause the sensory deprivation or is it done with external, physical means?
