seriously disabled

My father is an idiot and I think he doesn't really care about me. He knows I am disabled and can't work and he just exploits this fact. The problem is that I have nowhere else to go. If my father throws me out of home I'll be homeless and living and sleeping on the streets or probably ending up in prison on the way. I don't know what to do because my future honestly looks pretty bad.

Still saying that we already know everything there is to know about pain is foolish. Much more research is required because I believe we have only began to scratch the surface. Pain is still one of the most misunderstood phenomena in science. Perhaps quantum mechanics and/or quantum field theory can explain why pain has to be so very painful.

Severe pain is still one of the most misunderstood phenomenon in science, along with the phenomena of extreme suffering in general. Religion has a lot to say about extreme suffering (in general) but science on the contrary has very little to say about it. I think that much more research needs to be done into the phenomena of pain in order to determine why pain after injury has to be so very very painful.

Yes I believe that in the future science will be able to explain everything without the need for any God. I believe that there are natural and scientific explanations for everything. The evidence humanity have gathered in fields such as evolutionary biology, genetics, neuroscience, chemistry, physics and cosmology is overwhelming and really shows that God really does not exist. See The Top 10 reasons I don't believe in God: http://www.alternet.org/story/154774/the_top_10_reasons_i_don't_believe_in_god

Some people say that the problem of evil, extreme suffering and death in the world disproves the existence of God. I mean where was God when 6 million Jews were murdered by the Nazis in Auschwitz and where was God when the Bubonic plague killed an estimated 50 million people in Europe in the 14th century. But I don't think that the problem of evil and immorality really disproves the existence of God per se, it only disproves the existence of a loving God. God may as well be an immoral jackass, we can't know for sure if God is good or evil but the evidence seems to suggest that God is really immoral (or may I even say evil)

Thanks a lot for this. I appreciate this. I am currently living with my parents so my father pays for everything so I have no need to worry. In the very far future when my parents will no longer be alive, I might though.

How do you know that there are folks out there who care about me a great deal? That's a lie. In fact the evidence shows that no one really cares about me at all. I'm about to become homeless or in prison because I have no money and nobody really give a shit. In the world we live everyone only cares about himself and his money and nobody cares that there are homeless people like me who are disabled and have nothing to eat and no money for a home and no money for good healthcare.

I think that when physicists say that something can come from "nothing" they actually mean that this "nothing" is something + laws of quantum mechanics. But once you have a 'place' with certain laws then it is already not nothing.

To both of these questions: Never happened to me before. Even when I don't think about the pain or at least when I try not to think about it, the pain is still there therefore I think that in my case it's completely physiological.

Most of what you wrote there is bullshit in my opinion. Pain has nothing to do with stress and emotions. It is a completely physical phenomenon which modern biology cannot yet explain.

No I just want to know the truth regardless of a poll that everybody says yes to. No I think my father really is saying that that the universe could not have come from nothing because this is exactly the question that I asked him.

My father who is a mechanical engineer seems to think that something cannot come from nothing but I think that he is wrong because my father evidently never heard of virtual particles and quantum field theory. Another thing my father believes is that mathematics doesn't really exist in nature but again I think he is wrong on that one too because the evidence shows that mathematical relations and functions are an integral part of physics and that physics cannot really be done without the mathematics. So in other words mathematics is part of our reality but my father who is not a physicist does not seem to grasp that.

With all due respect I think physics is a waste of time. I'd rather study economics or finance and make some fortune for myself rather than spend many years of very hard work learning something and earning very little money in return.

Physics is a very very difficult subject, especially topics such as quantum mechanics, relativity, quantum field theory, thermodynamics, quantum statistical mechanics, particle physics, supersymmetry, quantum gravity, string/M-theory etc. You need to work extremely extremely hard to become really good in physics but considering that the payment for all those years of effort is not good I don't think it's really worth it to study physics.

I think that mathematics exists in the universe. I mean how else is someone going to teach quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, general relativity and string theory without using mathematics?

Biology is rapidly becoming a pseudoscience. I experience much more pain after I get injured than other people which very much contradicts what they teach in biology. I mean why is one person so much different in pain perception than the rest of the people? As usual, mainstream science cannot explain this.

Physics is too difficult for me and I think for the majority of people also. You need to be extremely intelligent to understand quantum mechanics, special relativity, general relativity, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, dynamical systems, chaos theory, quantum field theory, particle physics, the Standard model, supersymmetry, loop quantum gravity, supergravity, and string theory/superstring theory/M-theory because all these are very difficult subjects to understand and those who study these subjects in university and succeed at them must be extremely intelligent in my opinion (above average intelligent). Not to mention all the difficult mathematical topics you need to be able to understand and memorize like college algebra, calculus, multivariable calculus, vector calculus, linear algebra, calculus of variations, functional analysis, operator theory, real and complex analysis, measure theory, probability and statistics, abstract algebra (also called modern algebra), tensor calculus, topology, lie groups, lie algebras, differential geometry, differential topology, algebraic topology, set theory, category theory and many others extremely complicated mathematical subjects. Most people cannot understand these highly technical physics and mathematics subjects. In order to succeed at physics you must work extremely hard and have extremely good memory because you need to be able to remember and connect between a lot of things. But the drawback to all of this is that the pay is not so good. Physicists must work extremely hard but the pay is not so good. Many other professions pay more than physics and they are also less difficult.

So do mathematical probabilities as described by the wave function squared in quantum mechanics, for example, really have a physical existence in nature?

No I cannot because I'm not a certified physicist in profession.

I searched everywhere on the Internet but couldn't find a conclusive answer. My question is: Do mathematical entities (like numbers or probability distributions for example) really exist in the universe or are mathematical entities just a human invention? In other words, is mathematics really out there in the universe or is mathematics just a tool that humans invented in order to describe the universe?

I have no conclusion. I just don't know At this point we just don't know for sure if the theory of evolution is completely true or if needs to be corrected and updated when new discoveries will be presented.

Still isn't it possible that some higher physical entity (perhaps an evil entity) engineered humans making some people stronger and more resistant to pain after an injury? I know it contradicts what is being taught in evolution, genetics, and biochemistry but could it be true that humans have been engineered by someone or something higher? If this is true then I think it pretty much contradicts Darwin's theory of evolution and also the theory of natural selection.

Most of what they teach in biology and genetics is actually pseudoscience. Classical electromagnetism, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics and quantum field theory pretty much contradict what is taught is biology and genetics. I believe that the human body was actually designed by some higher force and that consciousness was also designed by some higher force. If some higher force actually engineered the human body and human consciousness then this could definitely explain why the vast majority of people have very high pain tolerance and different reactions to pain than the very big minority.

Why do some people experience very extreme pain after getting injured while other people, the vast majority in fact, experience little to tolerable pain after an injury?
