Re: Truth and consequences
like most you take what i say and read only what you want to hear.
If I have ignored some point of evidence that you have put forward feel free to present it again I will rectify the issue.
i was banned unjustly before, so why not ban me justly?
I suppose that is reason enough for behaving like a child. Might I suggest however not behaving like a child and make the attempt to prove your view?
your an arrogant stone
Thank you. I have made it a goal to become a diehard skeptic of anyones claims.

Re: Truth and consequences
Hi tesla, any luck in getting anyone to buy into your assertions? Anyone at all?
tesla writes:
then when you understand that without direction the universe including you and your snowflake, are impossible;
Apart from your personal incredulity what reason do you have to believe the above is correct? What you are in effect saying is that your god is required to build every snow flake: the question is why do you believe this?
Now I know you will reply with nothing exist outside of energy and therefor god exist and it has been shown that your logic is fault.
Remember this?
tesla writes:
i say: nothing outside energy is real.
you say: prove it.
Larni writes:
No I don't! I say (again) that all you are saying is that only real thing are real. Very good. We can all agree real things are real.
tesla writes:
i say: if it isn't energy, it isn't real. it will never be measured. it will never be found, it will never exist. because it would not be real.
you say: what about ghosts? thoughts? space?
Larni writes:
NO I DON'T.
I say that (again) we agree that only real things are real. I don't believe in ghosts or fairies or gods or any of that bullshit.
tesla writes:
i say: ghosts: IF there "real" can only exist in a form of energy, even if you cant measure it with current technology, because if not energy, it isn't real. thoughts: they exist in your mind which is a part of your body, which is a ton of different energy transfers, chemically, and small electric pulses and perhaps other unmeasurable energies. space: 1 cubic liter of space would boil the earths oceans i believe one poster said. (radiation, fields, and light are some measurable energies in space)
you say: none of that makes sense.
Larni writes:
No. I. Don't. I don't believe in ghost and all that crap (as I mentioned). If by space you are talking about vacuum enegy density then you are on very shaky ground with you boiling off oceans idea.
http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/vacuum.html
tesla writes:
i say: how doesn't it?
reality i say, is only what is real. and if it can never be measured, it wouldn't exist. and since we do exist, energy was first that made it possible. and its too perf4ect, too complex and ordered to have just "appeared" out of nothing. so something was the first "genesis" energy.
Larni writes:
This is where you start down the logical fallacy called arguement from incredularity. It seems 'too perfect, too complex etc'. The flaw in your arguement is that it is only your opinion of 'too perfect, too complex etc'. One cannot base conclusions on not being able to imagine something being true.
tesla writes:
so what would we call the genesis energy? well...existence. since that was has to be before anything else.
and so i applied the genesis energy to scientific enquiry and found the "law of existence".
Larni writes:
You continue to dig a hole for yourself. The energy in the nacent universe has no obvious connection to genesis outside of theology. We are in a science forum, not a religious one.
tesla writes:
the only debate that has been brought to me is : well you didn't measure it, so its not there.
Larni writes:
Not so. You have made fallacious logical errors in your thinking to get from things having to be real to energy having to be real to energy having to be first to this energy being 'genesis energy'. No mention of measuring.
tesla writes:
i say: I'm here. the galaxy is there. so it was there. or nothing would be.
Larni writes:
Again you simply state that things have to be real to exist. WE KNOW!
tesla writes:
that's as simple as i can explain it. you can choose to ignore the truth of it, but all your tentative science is a big "maybe" and this law that "i am, so the earth was, so the galaxy was before that, and so the greater energy that was first was there, is sound. perfect. and indisputable.
Larni writes:
Again all you state is that you are real, the earth is real the galaxy real and was once in a highly energetic state right after the big bang. THIS IS OBVIOUS TO ANY ONE!
tesla writes:
that's why you cant change my mind, and never will. because its true. and you can only come to terms with the truth of it if you actually try to debate the soundness of it, instead of looking for reasons to say it isn't sound.
Larni writes:
No one here is argueing that what is real is real.
tesla writes:
the law really is easy to defend. because all true science is supported by it. relativity, because of it all coming from the same start is sound. and point of view of the individual becomes clearer when its understood.
Larni writes:
No one here is argueing that what is real is real.
tesla writes:
its the difference between looking at your life through a window, to looking at your life as whats staring you in the face.
Larni writes:
No one here is argueing that what is real is real.
tesla writes:
I'm not saying you'll agree with me. who out there who doesn't want to accept any religion, would be willing to accept science that proved that nothing could be at all without God?
tesla writes:
so if that's your motivation, all the science in the world wont change your mind.
Larni writes:
The thing is tesla, that all you have managed to say is that energy is real and always was so your god is real. That does not follow. I may as well say that energy is real and always was so Enki is real, or Odin or Zeus. You being correct about energy being real does not make your god or the 'creation model' that you have failed to provide in 190 post real.
tesla writes:
I'm hoping for a scientist who wishes to know the truth MORE than his/her willingness to not change there points of view.
Larni writes:
To do this you need to use the tools of science and you have fallen far short of the mark.
tesla writes:
so then if such a scientist is out there, try to defend this law in the debate against another, and see how easy it is.
Larni writes:
But tesla, you have not defended it. You have said energy is real therefor god is real.
Like the wookie defence; IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE
tesla writes:
WRONG you have not examined what i said, or have poor reading comprehension.
No, tesla. You have (again) proved that your arguement is utter bollocks.

Re: Truth and consequences
well the wine was good. the posting probably wasn't lol.
larni,
my friend, what is being ignored is the T=0 energy.
at T=0 all the energy of the universe, all the energy of anything in existence, existed in a singular timeless state.
thats what is being ignored. not that the energy is there, but what can be said of an energy in that form.
massive amounts of matter, each with specific behaviors, even biological matter with a consciousness, all this spawned from that energy.
in a singular state, with no outside interactions; an evolution was a act of itself, to evolve itself. it would have to be intelligent.
thats what you, and everyone else is ignoring.
do the math, you tell me how it would be possible; with no outside interactions.
zero other energies. zero environment. only an energy. and nothing but that energy. in a timeless state that always was.
do you hear me now?

keep your mind from this way of enquiry, for never will you show that not-being is

finally i was hoping to see you here.
energy is a generic term.
light is a product of, or is, energy.
matter contains a conserved energy (nuclear reactions are a break down of an atom causing a release)
this means all matter is conserved energy, (still energy)
radiation is energy.
when water spills down a waterfall, it is a powerful force, and sometimes called "energy" of water.
but energy is like electricity. a transfer of substance or power between two forces.
we see the effects of energy, but we can only see the energy indirectly, or the reaction given off from the act between two forces.
the T=0 energy is a substance of free energy with no two points. we cannot view it(yet), but we know it is there because all is.
the universe was created from and within this body of energy. when the energy became matter in the closed body of existence, an "apparent" space was formed between matter, and the production of the spaces became a vacuum because of the closed body that surrounds it, and the force of the pure energy when it pulled itself together via the strong force.
the strong force is the same energy of T=0, like all the energy of the universe is from the same energy of t=0. when matter was produced, it became a gateway for energies to travel through.
ie: kinetic force, speeds through matter. with constant striking, constant kinetic energy travels outward through matter. the strong force is the force utilized from and by the t=0 energy that hold matter together. gravity is just vibration or echo of the strong force in atoms reverberating through matter like kinetic energy, but towards the T=0 energy. the T=0 energy "calls" all matter back towards itself. but things of matter cannot pass through the matter back into the main body. the matter blocks it. but when matter is disassembled, it can flow back to the main body (if the main body allows it, which cannot be said either way with our limited understanding)
your not getting this tho ill bet.
did you read the paper analogy? and the balloon analogy?
do you understand space folding back towards the T=0 body?
to answer your question as easily as i can about energy: if there is no energy to measure, there is no substance. because all is, and is of substance, then it can only come from some "substance" (not matter, but a force with no outside forces, that was able to adapt its singular force, to become other forces that work within itself in harmony)
just ask the questions my friend, i dont expect you to understand all of this this way, because its hard for me to put in words yet. but keep digging. and if your good at math you'll be able to see the truth in it.

keep your mind from this way of enquiry, for never will you show that not-being is

What I suggest is that you read 'The Fabric of the Cosmos' by Brian Greene and then come back here and tell us if you still believe the bullshit you insist on carting out on every sodding post you ever write.

Please, you do the math and show it to us because the results of your math are not at all transparent.
I have done the math and find that between T=10E-43 and T=dt that the Universe comprised of infinitely long telephone lines packed cheek to jowl with sparrows whistling the theme to Gilligan’s Island.
You do the math to see if I’m not correct.

Re: Truth and consequences
string theory.
larni..
lol. ok. whatever.
string theory is the most abused power of science in accepting unprovable, illogical, theory, just because they cant figure it out.
what I'm proposing is based on all logic of reality, what reality means, and where this reality could come from by all observation of tested proven laws of science.
ie: T=0 inevitable point in existence.
t=0 must be energy because all energies came form it.
timeless energy means no evolution as of yet in the state it would be in when timeless, which means singular. (singularity)
singularity means all laws and math of science become irrelevant.
therefore: only by what is now, can we say anything about what it is, or is not.
energy can be chaotic, or ordered in appearance, but to become an established natural order such as our universe, with a large variety of complexities, from biological matter, to star systems; a singular energy with nothing else to react with to become such, with no other variables but itself, means it could only have the first evolution by direction.
anyone i ask, that if i took a computers base atomic makeup, and put it in a box, and waited for 3 billion years, would the computer become a workable computer with no direction has said: nope. impossible odds. gives to much power to chance.
so why does anyone think that an unchanged singular pure energy with no outside interactions, could become the complexity of an entire universe with no direction?
its foolish.do the math.
no direction: impossible odds.
direction: 100% chance.
think about it larni. its your life. your choice. but i wish to discuss expansion of the universe on this thread, and until you understand t=0, there's no hope to explain the expansion. because the expansion, and the vacuum of space are fully relevant and dependant on the T=0 energy.
the paper analogy i gave you shows a body that has a certain density of its makeup: existence.
when it becomes matter, it condenses that energy, which leaves the apparent "space" and the space is filled with the waves and radiation and other energies that flow freely between the space in the body, but like air, it is never empty. the space production created a vacuum because of the condensing being done inside of the body. the more matter produced, the greater the distances of the "space" thats your expansion.
draw the circle in the paper in the center, which is the known universe, when it was just a dot on the paper, there was less matter, but a super condensed matter that expanded. more matter was produced, and the space grew larger that was/is in our "reality".
black holes, i believe are not points of matter that drew together to form the hole, i believe it is points of matter production from the main body of existence, that when at a certain time or level, will go boom, and split apart. creating new galaxies.
lets look at your own body larni for an example.
you have a body that requires an atmosphere to hold it together. too light of atmosphere, your body expands, your ears pop. same concept. but the atmosphere of our bodies is the atmosphere of this planet. the atmosphere of our universe is the atmosphere of the T=0 energy, which is existence. because without that, nothing would be. it has no environment, it is the first environment. nothing outside it, and always was.
this is what all science points to. you can test it, you can use relativity on it. you'll find the vacuum, you'll find the black holes. you'll find expansion. and you can make a mock model of this with water and water balloons.
enclose a tank. and fill some balloons with different liquids. the heavier liquids will float lower in the water, some may sink all the way to the bottom, the ones with lighter liquids will float near the top, ones with air will float to the very top. but each addition regardless, will cause the area of the tank to expand.(if you didn't overfill the enclosed tank, in which case introduction will just increase the pressure
if you could make a light vacuum, and fill balloons with different gasses, and introduce the balloons without destroying the vacuum in any way, i wonder how the balloons and the vacuum would react? the only problem with that being a true test, is that each addition of matter means a slight lessening of the area around the tank which contains the vacuum, so that the vacuum would retain the same level of vacuum at each introduction, because each introduction is an equal taking of the area outside the vacuum in which the matter comes from in equal measure.
i wish i could just tell you and others larni, and you accept and understand: God IS. and only WAS and IS because of faith, and therefore with no faith in him, which is the body we live it, you will be like cancer to him, and must be cut off so you dont poison the perfect body we were created in, because God is wise, and because he loves you, he gave us all medicine to eat and drink, that we might come to faith, an be forgiven of our denial of the body, and yet live, in him, even after the body has long gone. but you will not believe it. because men will not believe the truth if it is contrary to what they wish to believe in their hearts for their own selfish reasons.
it saddens and scares me. because i have been shown and given things to give to you, and others here, that are beyond me to give, but have com from him because i deny my own will to serve his, but not perfectly. so i still grow and wish that all can understand, that others will turn to the Lord who IS true and real, whom all things came by, and will only continue to be by. that even greater things will he do through those whom he calls, but they will not listen.
what i give you i know is true because where it has come from, but do not take my word for it, test it. find the truth. THEN you will know.
Gods will be done. so be it.

The heart of it? 5 questions.
string theory is the most abused power of science in accepting unprovable, illogical, theory, just because they cant figure it out.
Given my grade school understanding of the math involved in the theory I will say: based upon my lack of understanding, I agree with you per se.
what I'm proposing is based on all logic of reality, what reality means, and where this reality could come from by all observation of tested proven laws of science.
String theorists claim that their math shows where this reality could come from. Its not evidence, just math. (to my understanding)
You have logic, its also not evidence.
means it could only have the first evolution by direction.
You conclude this based upon what you feel is a logical deduction. Its not based upon fact, had it been based upon fact you could and would give examples of your evidence.
anyone i ask, that if i took a computers base atomic makeup, and put it in a box, and waited for 3 billion years, would the computer become a workable computer with no direction has said: nope. impossible odds. gives to much power to chance.
Correct. The universe however is not like a computer. There is no law in nature that would allow atoms to form a computer, there are laws however that would allow stars, galaxies, superclusers, and the universe to form.
so why does anyone think that an unchanged singular pure energy with no outside interactions, could become the complexity of an entire universe with no direction?
Read back in the thread. Nobody has claimed that there was no outside interaction that resulted in the Big Bang taking place.
its foolish.do the math.
In order to "do the math" one must be in possession of all the possibilities do you agree?
You are claiming that it is necessary for there to be an "outside interaction" that resulted in the Big Bang. Its a logical deduction in that all events within the universe are affected by interactions with other bodies/energies/etc. I think that is a fair conclusion.
------------------------------------------------
In regards to the start of Big Bang or T=0 :
1 - How much power is required for the event to take place? What I mean by that is would a nudge have been sufficient or does it take an omnipotent deity to cause the instability that results in the expansion.
2 - What conclusions can you make about this power? If a deity is required what abilities are inherently nessecary for such a being to be able to cause such an event. Can we deduce given the information at hand (creator of the Big Bang) that this deity is capable of more than just creating a universe.
3 - If I was to admit for the purpose of this argument that a deity created the Big Bang event, how would you go about proving to me that the particular deity (God) is in fact the correct one? Given the large number of dieties worshipped within human history how are you able to isolate the diety that is the correct instigator of the universe? Is such a conclusion obvious within the framework of the T=0 scenario that you have presented or is it necessary to refer to other readings to make a conclusion.
4 - If other readings are required how do you choose what readings are appropriate given the abundance of contradictory writings claiming to be the correct one? Is there a particular verse, chapter, or quote that can be considered irrefutable evidence that you have chosen the correct cause of instability within the singularity?
5 - You seem concerned about the well being of people who are unable to make conclusions about a time before there was time itself. Is there a particular reason that knowledge of events taking place before the Big Bang is more important than knowledge lacking in other fields? What I mean is: why is it important for others to make the conclusion that a diety caused Big Bang, but it appears you are unconcerned if these same people are aware of quantum physics, geometry, or calculus.

Re: Truth and consequences
Oh yea of little faith, I can believe some remarkably counterintuitive ideas given adequate evidence, but I certainly can’t believe them if I don’t get to see them. I would need more than just the variables; I would also need the equations to plug them in to. So as you’ve promised to give me the variables I’m sure you’d not want to leave me short. To show my faith in you I’m holding my breath.

Kindly

then you look as idiotic as these creationists. Simply admitting to a lack of understanding, before making such ridiculous and ill-informed accusations, is no defense. Perhaps what you meant to say was "based upon my lack of understanding, I'm in no position to offer a personal opinion. However, I have read that some theoretical physicists are highly skeptical of string theory, and some theoretical physicists are strongly supportive."
You are claiming that it is necessary for there to be an "outside interaction" that resulted in the Big Bang. Its a logical deduction in that all events within the universe are affected by interactions with other bodies/energies/etc. I think that is a fair conclusion.
No, it is not; it is a classic fallacy of composition. The Big bang is NOT an event within the Universe...

Re: The heart of it? 5 questions.
then you look as idiotic as these creationists
Given my grade school understanding, I am not suprised!

Thats pretty much exactly what I was keeping hidden behind the "per se". My understanding is limited to some being skeptical and and some obviously in support (some must support it or they would not be working on it). I most often have the luxury of not taking a side in something I have virtually no knowledge about; for the purpose of responding to Tesla I figured it best to agree with him to limit the proselytising. The obvious negative effect being pointed and laughed at by someone who knows I am talking out of my arse.
So far telling him he is wrong has only lead to repetition of the same comments. My hope is to show him his leap in logic to incorrect conclusions, or find that he has more up his sleeve than he appears.
No, it is not; it is a classic fallacy of composition. The Big bang is NOT an event within the Universe...
Again, for the purpose of trying to lead him to another fallacy in his argument I did make that blatant error. He feels that since events within the universe can only take place with what he calls an 'outside factor' I believe that accepting that such a conclusion also applies to the so called cause of Big Bang could further the discussion. I admit the error in my post and would gladly accept another way of trying to draw out how Tesla is going from A to Z in his conclusions.

Re: cavediver
if your good at math you'll be able to see the truth in it.
The problem is, tesla, that I see no maths. All I see are words. And physics at this level is not conducted with words, just mathematics. Words are used to explain the mathematical concepts to interested laymen, but that is not where the knowledge and understanding lies. So far, all I see are jumbles of words mixed with confused concepts and reasoning. If you wish to show me, then show me the maths. Hopefully my mathemtaical skill will be up to the challenge...
As an introductory example, with small explicit mathematical content, here is the latest work on the no-boundary proposal that simply states that you need no outside influence at T=0. As theoretical physics papers go, this is very sparse on the mathematics.
