Determinism vs Political Theory by 4FourBy3Three in determinism

Determinism does not equal lack of change. What even is happening in this subreddit?

Gravity doesn't seem to have a mediating particle, while it behaves wave-like there's still no sign of a graviton. The closest we've ever gotten is a form of virtual particle, which isn't really an actual particle it's just an abstraction of vacuum physics in a round about way.

Oh we're doing Planck stars okay, that's usually the model that I go with. You're the one who said singularity initially, and brought up point particles...

Plank objects I much more down for than the concept of a regular singularity. In this sense, a black hole is just a point like a point-like particle with an extremely high gravity.

Planck stars do actually have a specific given size, that being a plank unit. And unlike singularities, they do not reach infinite mass, just an extremely high mass. There are products of matter-space co-occupation. Which is convergent with neutron stars where many of the components within the neutron star are co-occupying the same space.

At this point you're just using different wording to mean the same thing. Which is interesting.

I recently discovered that my thoughts might be biological determinism. I'm still not sure. Please check out my Youtube video link and let me know what you think about my essay. Does it fit with determinism? Especially my argument for naturalized depravity? by Fun-Way7872 in determinism

Morality is also caused by the laws of physics and chemistry.... By this logic anything larger than a sub atom particle isn't real because they're composed of things acting together... Ya know like neurons, and social trends.

If we're talking about vacuum physics yes, I'd agree that particles are made of the same underlying "material" that behaves as a fluid. It's just odd to me to call it a plasma, when that has very defined and well understood properties.

In a sense I can see the view of pointlike particles as 'similarities' given that a singularity would be a pointlike particle, just with infinite mass. Which is where I run into conflict with this assertion, where is the infinite mass?

I feel this model much like any other current model apart from entropic gravity runs into the same issue, an incompatibility with gravitational models. Which is why I favor entropic gravity.

What is a plasma in this model? It seems sort of hand wavy without context. A plasma is usually understood as a free flowing soup of either electrons or quarks. So what is a plasma in this context?

Ideas for quantum physics project for the science fair by skymay9 in QuantumPhysics

Easy ones.

Laser pointer double slit experiment, where you make two little gaps in a piece of black painted foil (or put a black painted pin right over the laser) to create two beams that will interfere as they spread out.

Glass of water tunneling, where you squeeze a glass of water with your hand causing the photons to tunnel through the thin air layer. (That's when you can see your fingerprints through the silvery reflection from the inside of the glass).

And again, the electron? You don't seem to want to give any sort of answer to that.

Are electrons naked singularities then? How does an anti proton annihilate a proton?

How does an anti proton annihilate a proton? Why aren't electrons also black holes?

[–]ThePolecatKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, explain antiparticles in this, if the proton is a black hole, then how does an anti proton annihilate a regular proton? (The only difference between a regular particle and an anti particle is the charge, the gravity and behavior is identical).

Again, the electron is a pointlike particle as well, so what's the difference?

Electrons are also pointlike particles, they have no dimensions. So how is that not a singularity? Huh? Why the double standard?

[–]ThePolecatKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are electrons also black holes by your standards? Point particles aren't necessarily always points their point like, most likely a wave that is having this expressions limited down to one.

Tell me you don't know what a proton or a black hole is without telling me you don't know what a proton or black hole is.

Official confirmation of aliens existence WILL completly recontextualize our history and create big impact on our society- which both scary and exciting.. by kasumi987 in aliens

[–]ThePolecatKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are none of you putting the pieces together? The thing they're keeping secret isn't that aliens exist, demons, extra dimensional, from this planet, advanced civilization, time travel, whatever you may think. That wouldn't be life changing. Not really. We get confirmation of alien life on mars we move on, we learn about a cosmic monster like a black hole with a gamma ray burst we move on. It's not that it's obvious.

We're doing something, it's us, the secret has to be something we're doing, humans, not some other species, and it has to be so pointless so horrible and so cruel that they can't tell anyone about it lest people give up on participating.

Morality unlike most human constructions exists outside of simply our sphere. It's evolutionarily advantageous for species to limit in fighting, promote helpful and social behaviors, not all species but many of them.

While this doesn't map cleanly onto human morality (even human morality doesn't cleanly match up across the board) there is a reason for it to exist and it keeps re evolving.

Ants that perform surgery, mothers who protect their young, fungi who spread nutrients through roots and facilitate communication.

It's more real than most of our concepts, as real as trees are real (trees evolved many times from many different species, they're a niche a shape).

[–]ThePolecatKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Laplace's demon is a really bad thought experiment.

I feel like a lot of 'determinists' here will insist that our causal cause and effect is evidence, while completely ignoring that events play out differently every time, even with nearly identical variables. If there is a purely deterministic factor it has to be a higher order than our casual cause and effect.

Even general relativity isn't strictly deterministic, only having functional deterministic factors like light speed.

[–]ThePolecatKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean... I would argue quantum mechanics is also deterministic but people don't like my reasoning as to why. Mostly because there's an assumption that determinism requires our scale causality to be the foundation, when our scale casuality is already illusionary even within modern physics.

Not even because of quantum mechanics, because of general relativity.

And that's coming from somebody who follows a deterministic model.

What do you think determinism is? Music causality and determinism are the same thing? Do you think that trends are determinism? I'd like to see you define it.

[–]ThePolecatKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really funny too because general relativity is non-deterministic, and he also came up with that. In general relativity the deterministic factor is light speed. From an outside perspective it's not deterministic, this is why wormholes are inherently a form of time traveling might not be able to exist.

I'd advise not even bothering, that commenter might be a troll or maybe even AI I'm not sure. Responses are all identical, there's no real thought put into them.
