One is a holistic       feeling while the other is a        structural analysis. Feeling is emphasized in art, religion and spirituality;       analysis in logic, mathematics and science.       > > > >        > > > > Does it?

In fact, if quantum physicists delve deep       enough into the functions of matter, our notion of logic breaks down so       completely that the fabric        of time and space cease to exist as anything we can recognize as physical       reality.       > > >        > > > Mathematics of quantum mechanics is precise, but it doesn't allow us to       derive (predict) the outcome of a measurement from prior conditions, only       possible outcomes and their probabilities. Many-worlds interpretation says       that all possible outcomes        are real but we don't know which outcome exists in that part of reality in       which we live. We simply have to look around (interact with our environment)       to find that out. You may know the whole reality but in order to find out       where you are placed in        reality and which person is you, you have to look around.       > > >        > > > Spacetime may fluctuate or be twisted all it wants but in the end it is       still a precisely defined mathematical structure and logic doesn't break down.       Logic is simply non-contradiction. If logic broke down, it wouldn't break       down, see?       > >        > > Your view of logic is far to fixated on the ideas that have been       programmed into your mind. We have human logic and we have Universal logic.       Human logic does and always will indeed break down as it is limited and       finite. It can be no other way.       > >        > > Universal logic cannot be said to "break down" or "not break down" for it       is beyond the scope of our awareness and understanding. It is simply not       attainable. This is a truth inherent within all of us and plainly obvious.       Anyone who tells you        differently is trying to sell you something.       >        > Then I'm talking about universal logic. I don't even know what you mean by       "human logic".              Universal logic encompasses worlds, realms and dimensions we cannot possibly       fathom, thus by default you are speaking in and about human logic and       reasoning. Being human you have no choice.              All we can say about Universal logic is that we "cannot say".              There simply comes a point in reasoning where we must admit that our notion of       reasoning does not apply any further. Only by recognizing that all paradoxes       are reconciled on higher planes of higher reasoning can we ever hope to become       aware of the        ability to reason higher.              One cannot achieve that which one cannot conceive.              But enough with the mystical mumbo jumbo.        To those who disbelieve, no proof will ever suffice.        To those who believe, no proof is necessary.       Regardless, the show must go on...              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3DyR9QxfTo              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
