Re: What is Gravity?
You’re working towards a more well rounded view of physics. You’ve discovered the disconnect between the scientific theories of the very large and the very small. The attempt to unify them into a single cohesive theory is a very exciting project that has been going on ever since these two theories c...

Re: Numbers...
I agree you have the subjective experience with base10 numbers and the English alphabet, but those are experiences generated by our minds. I think the point that Marcus and I are pushing back on is some idea that these experiences are created by the numbers themselves. Our brains are creating the f...

Re: Numbers...
At least Marcus got the joke. I would explain it but that lessens the impact. Suffice it to say none of the number coincidences in this thread work in base 2, or base 16. Look at this from a more sophisticated perspective and it all falls apart quickly. Base 10, for the uninformed, is just an arbit...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
Free will requires something outside of reality, by definition. If it’s just the sum total of the material universe, then it’s not free. Next sentence, same thing. Makes no sense. To me. Can you explain why this sentence has meaning for you? Maybe some concrete examples? Regards, MG Free will means...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
Free will requires something outside of reality, by definition. If it’s just the sum total of the material universe, then it’s not free. It’s bound by cause and effect and the laws of nature. The immaterial soul, in order to operate the way people think free will works, has to be completely outside ...

LDS temple steeples- a member with more integrity than an area authority
This is so heartwarming to see. An active member and believing Mormon called out an area authority for implying that steeple height was an important part of LDS religious practice. Short video here: https://youtube.com/shorts/_Fdq-oqIxto This is a great example of integrity. I imagine he will be rew...
