Event horizon
Randman writes:
If one assumes the system can be affected as a whole, and that non-linear causality is possible, then it is not a fact that death preceded the creation of man.
If death was added to the system and the entire sytem attained a new system state you would need something unaffected by the system state change to recognise the new state/old state difference.
What do you propose that is?
The system state change would be an event horizon would it not?
This would preclude any information from the old system state being carried over to the new.
No one would know.

Re: Event horizon

Well, in my thinking, I actually think death was a latent ingredient in the system ans so perhaps that was not most precise description I gave earlier, but if we are talking about the Bible, regardless, God is something unaffected on one level by the system. He is an unchanging Substance.
Then is it fair to claim the Bible is a record of the system change?

The photon is always a wave, it is always a particle, it always enters through both slits, it only proves itself to be a particle AFTER it has demonstrated in one way or another that it is also a wave.
Does this mean it is a wave until it gets messed with?
Damn fine challenge try to keep up with this one.

Without the detector, it happens at the back wall.
Aha! The fog clears.....
Thanks mate, I knew the bare bones of the split light experiment and had been seduced by 'teleporting' and such like.
Thanks for putting me straight, I will take 'New Scientist' with a pinch of salt .
