Make more like this. Fun stuff. Feynman, I think, once exclaimed with a smile something like, "there could be just ONE electron 'in' the universe, its just that its velocity is infinite."

@emblemOFbeing Will do eOb. Nice to see you again.

I immortality really possible.

This point is unfalsifiable.

As any study to measure immortality would never reach a conclusion.

Therefore immortality is possible or impossible, without clear distinction.

@republicofsandles Immortality is inevitable.  Video to follow.

There could be just one universe, we don't know that the multiple universe theory is true.

[conferencereport]

@BeardedBill86 True. I guess there must be either one universe, or a specific number of universes, or an infinite number of universes (whatever that means). All of these options seem pretty gobsmacking to me. Kind of like what Arthur C Clarke said about extra-terrestrial life, 'either we are alone in the universe or we're not, and both conditions are equally amazing'.

If there are an infinite number of universes and it was possible that a universe is "out there" where a chocolate statue of you is on the moon... but there would be an infinite number of universes with a chocolate statue of you on the moon because that's how big infinity is.

This sort of goes back to the little video exchange we had a while back about the game of chess and possible positions one could play. I personally think that we are in the only possible Universe. Hopefully we're the cue ball in the middle of a masse shot.

1.I’m studying philosophy at college and when we talk about determinism, we argue about how because of external effects on our personalities and our personality’s effect on our actions, our actions are limited and then so is our freedom. We also talk about how far this goes and whether or not we have it at all. I have a very poor range in words etc. and really find it hard to follow what’s going on lol.

Very thought provoking indeed, in my experience with extreme perceptual distortion and almost complete dissolution other possible universes cannot be pigeonholed at all into the same one which we exist in. Massive assumptions have to be made for that to be the case, it would most likely be something far beyond our grasp and ability to comprehend it.

@carmel1119 Emptiness as neutrality and voidness, being everything and nothing as perfect stillness. Might there be consciousness at the center? Possibly.

@blackcrow6667

"emptiness" ...isn't the whole "truth", but I know what you mean by that. There are a million roads to nowhere...or rather an infinite number...

"illusion"...yes, everything exists, but not in the the way we *think* it does...

@RationalSuicide In marked contrast to your comment, the relevance of which is only matched by its priceless incisiveness.
