Nice. I smoked for years but had to stop due to a condition that causes terrible stomach pain & nausea called Cannabis Hyperemises. I occasionally miss it but the cravings pass. Now I just drink Scotch. |

I quit because it caused me to overthink “everything”. Plus I found myself raising 2 beautiful daughters and they became priority. Being sober made me a better dad I think. They are in their late 20s now and doing fine. I have a beer or two every now and then . I had some problems with alcohol when my first wife passed. So I keep it to 2 drinks. But this coffee habit… dang!! |

I don't and never will smoke weed for two reasons.
1. It's strictly banned in my country. 2. I'm poor and have a tendency for addictions. Weed would drain all my money in no time. I mean, it's not dirt cheap. Edited by Hrychu - 13 hours 19 minutes ago at 01:28 |

I read Barbour's book back when it came out. I remember it being a rather dry, difficult read. If I'm remembering it correctly, much of it had to do with Planck length (or maybe Planck time?) and the "nows" were separated by this. It's an interesting idea, but I sometimes wonder if this is just mathematics trying to find a different reality that may not actually be there. I never read Smolin's book.
That's a curious idea worthy of thinking about. It sort of reminds me a bit of Donald Hoffman's studies on this in which he considers consciousness as something fundamental in the universe and the physical world emerges from that. It's kind of hard to wrap my brain around that, but curious nonetheless.

...then watch them in rapid sequence.
"Rapid sequence" is a time-dependent operation. You're using something that depends on time to define time. Edited by wiz_d_kidd - 8 hours 7 minutes ago at 06:40 |

I have not
read either of the 2 books, but they seem fascinating. Both authors could be right in their own way.
Space and
time are inseparable. The faster you travel through space, the slower you travel
through time. This has been experimented with and demonstrated many times over. Theoretically, if you can travel at the speed
of light, time would essentially stop. Does
this mean that time does not really exist? I think that
it exists experientially but not in “reality”.
Similar to matter not being real, only existing experientially. “Reality is merely
an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”
- Alber Einstein |

Science
boils down everything to just 2 components, energy and consciousness. All matter is energy fluctuations. Matter is
not solid or motionless. If matter is comprised of energy, then can energy be
comprised of consciousness? If so, the
physical world emerges from it, along with the universe and anything in
creation. Tis all a dream.. |

If there is only consciousness, and only 1 consciousness, then God must have a massive delusional multiple personality symptom.

^ Or the universe & natural world is God. In other words there is no God.

that is my understanding, all that is, Is God. Existence itself, pure and simple, there is nothing else. Non-existence, by definition, does not exist.
