They actually meant “Please do note the cat”. Noted

with its own unique laws of physics

I never thought of it like that. I thought laws of physics as laws of everything. Nice thought. Thanks for response.

Ah that’s interesting. I didn’t think of them as separate universes.

My point still holds though. I mean, we call 3D as 3D because of 1D and 2D. Since they don’t exist in our reality (but of course they are mathematically useful). One could still argue that since it cannot(has not) be perceived since it is theoretical a.t.m, it’s not real.

May be this is some form of nihilistic thought too 🙂

Well it’s a public forum, one specifically for thought experiment that too. I’m not trying to claim anything. I’d be happy to be proved wrong too.

Your response is basically “I don’t have an answer for you but sushh”. I don’t have anything else for you pal, may be try to approach things a little open minded and less condescending.

Ok. Hear me out.

We draw a line on a sheet of paper. That line only has x and y dimensions mathematically.

BUT

That line is a thin layer of ink. It is on a paper which has a width (however small it be). To explain 2 dimensions we abstracted the whole thing as 2D when in fact it is 3D.

There are no dimensions, there are just mathematical abstractions which helps us think. But there is no proof of a physical object in 1D or 2D.

This text or drawing is not really 2D. Down at the atomic/molecular level they are still 3D particles. We are just abstracting it as 2D.

 

1D and 2D are just mathematical abstractions. Everything is just 3D and that's it. There is no time, just space with a state.

(I tried to explain better in comments so please check that. I would be glad if someone could give me a response to this brain fuck I’m having)

  1. Auto playing and unrelated videos that play when I open a website.
  2. Ads in apps that needs 100 close button clicks to skip, each of which is a z-index bomb that takes you to play store to install their crappy app.

I’ll leave you to your thoughts. Have a good day

Interesting. Yes we are reducing the not knowable to knowable, which is moot.

I’m not saying there is one. It’s just a thought experiment

 

Considering the number of rage baits out there these days.

 

TLDR - what’s the question mark in the following scale

Cult(-1)……………….Religion(0)……………….????(+1)

Long version (a.k.a my stupid mind’s question that is keeping me awake):

My understanding of cult is a group of people with an absurd or even possibly nefarious belief system. Like something negative.

By that definition I would put religion in the middle (though a majority of it leans towards the cult side). A group of people that is very serious about what they believe in, no matter how illogical it is.

So with this understanding what would you call the positive side ? A group of people coming together to have a tradition and belief system just for the fun of it ? Is there such thing ?

 

Additionally, what name would you never give to your kid ? And why ?
