Re: What is time?
...does change exist? Is it a substance? Yes change exists. Yes, change is in a substance. I guess what you are saying is that change is dependent on there being things to change. Time on the other hand would march on, even if nothing happened. I have difficulty to come with an example of something...

Re: What is time?
Time experienced relative to the given state of one's biology. Well at the risk of repeating you and without getting into what exactly perception is, there is at least a strong correlation between physical states of our brains and conscious states. We all know that our perception of time is influen...

Re: What is time?
Rather than allowing change, how can you be sure that time isn't just a by-product that results from change? My guess is that you are on the money. If you combine that with popeye 1945's: Time is the perception of temporality... You get a universe in which stuff happens, but not all at once, and we...

Re: What is time?
Time is a substance (by substance I mean that it exists and has some property) that allows changes. The thing with any claim that time is a substance is that, even if it is true, we currently have no direct means of detecting it. Every method we have of measuring time is based on a physical event, ...

Re: What's going on with flies?
Well, it's a bit like vampires, but exactly opposite. They can only go through a door you don't invite them to use.

Re: God is a rational and scientific deduction!
I am the author of "Against Atheism and its scientific and rational pretensions" and would like to state that God is a rational and scientific deduction - here is why... Note : The definition of God used below is from Oxford Dictionary : A Creator. Oh goody! Another creationist. I think, ...

Re: Got any good jokes?
Ah.
Yeah. Needs work.
Here's one I made earlier: What do you call a 65 million year old pig? Jurassic Pork.

Re: Got any good jokes?
Gotta say that Wanker did say one thing that is coherent, and that is that you shouldn't have to explain jokes. But er, re that maths joke, why mosquito/vector?

Re: What music are you listening to?
Hey Cancer Bats was pretty alright in my book, thanks for that! You're welcome. If you want cacaphonic, look no further than some good noisecore my friend. Meet Converge. Jane Doe is in my top 10 albums of all time I could listen to start to finish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrAxmXDSiuA I cou...

Re: From Schopenhauer's "Essay on Women."
I am not only offended by the behavior implicit in the statement, but I am also offended on behalf of the owners of the forum whose decorum representative (AMod) has asked us (more than once) not to use strong expletives in our posts. We could end up going round in circles. I said at the outset tha...

Re: What music are you listening to?
Misery Signals is incredibly melodic, what are you talking about? The genre is literally something like melodic posthardcore :P I am so old that I didn't think I would ever hear anything more gloriously cacophonic than the Sex Pistols and Motörhead. As a dad, it bothered me that there should be som...
