... I have learnt not to trust my concepts at this level. So I am not dogmatic. For example the expansion of space-time, this happens on a very long time...
I have just started on a paper, I was wondering if I could get some feedback both on the abstract and the general concept of a technical metaphor for a...
... I am being foolish. 1 planck length per planck second is the speed of light by definition. So we have to have things going slower, and to have determinism...
... I agree that we must not be dogmatic. Maybe Zeno was right and space-time is neither continuous nor discrete. Maybe Q is an exact model. Who knows? But...
... The problem is with the assumption of a preferred frame of reference. The speed of light is only a constant within a reference frame. The Planck length...
... Glad you remembered what planck length and planck time mean. :) The problem with the argument above. We don't need to have half planck lengths to have...

... From the perspective of "probability is a point of view" we could describe "probability" as a measure (guess) of ignorance; Ignorance of the variables...
