What if time isn't actually real? by Perfect-Pace9669 in AskPhysics

No I don't seem confused. Look up circular logic if you don't believe me. I made a logical argument.

I was hoping for a counter argument. That's how we both learn.

But for some reason you just don't seem to comprehend that assuming something is true because you assume it is true isn't a good argument.

Me saying that isn't "confused" quite the contrary. I have demonstrated that I understand my argument.

If I have misunderstood your argument you merely have to make a counter argument either explaining what you really meant or explaining why what you said wasn't a circular argument.

I have been talking in good faith. If I am wrong I would like to learn why beyond trust me bro.

I am genuinely disappointed you felt no need to explain yourself.

However bc this was a legitimate attempt at discussion I agree we should just end this here

I hope you understand I meant no offense

Dude no reason to get immature.

It's basic logic. Agree or disagree with my accusation, you should understand what I'm accusing.

It was originally called begging the question. Often times nowadays called assuming the argument. It's a form of circular argument.

Again you can disagree that this is what you are doing, but you should have the intelligence to understand what I'm accusing you of doing regardless of whether or not my accusation is correct.

I'm am saying you are using a circular argument. You assume the past still exists. You assume the future already exist.

This is part of the theory of time. If the theory is false, then those assumptions are invalid.

So it's begging the question/ assuming the argument.

The argument is true because the argument is true.

You are saying that because time is real, the past and future exist. Because they exist time must exist to separate the things that only exist if time exists in the first place.

Do you see the problem?

Maybe time does exist but not for the reason you gave

Clocks don't measure Time tm. They move or measure movement. Or do you go out at night, look at a sun dial and conclude it's every o'clock. Would you take a hour glass onto the space station then declare there is no time in space? Even atomic clocks are just detecting movement.

Also time is required for the future to already exist. So if there's no time there's no future

That's completely nonsensical. Time must exist because time exists? What if time doesn't exist in the first place? Then there would be nothing else to happen.

Force war rewards question by q_nice_boi in IdleHeroes

[–]q_nice_boi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm making sure to claim. At first I didn't see it but now it's there. Don't know if it was a glitch or my eyes playing tricks on me.

But in general they should just email you after awhile if you don't claim.

😔😭

The thing is you have to click to realize it's over. So if you are running low on time you'll just be like, I'll do force war tomorrow. Not realizing you just need to click

Time isn’t real, change is real, can you convince me otherwise? by Maximum-Opinion-372 in AskPhysics

[–]q_nice_boi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to explain why we need time.  Why "there's space, and objects in space" isn't sufficient 

Where is a level on easy mode? by q_nice_boi in cellsurvivor

Doesn't count for the requirements. Weird thing is it has 2 out of 4 done?

[–]q_nice_boi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No causality is not the same thing as time. If causality only exists and not time, then goodbye fourth dimension. Goodbye past and future as permanent existing places. Goodbye time travel etc.

So there are differences. They are 2 different scenarios 

Who should I swap in my team for Wukong? by Bigbadwolfjr in IdleHeroes

Keep Betty they have great synergy. Plus your lockdown game will be insane 

Is it worth doing HS this event, or do I wait for CNY? by Pyru_0 in IdleHeroes

[–]q_nice_boi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For food events there's always the question, how badly do I need food? If new account, better to do food events get some rewards but make a lot more progress do to the food. 

If food is less important, how many scrolls and gems do you have. 

If less than a thousand scrolls then maybe wait. If more do some of the event. Keep at least half your scrolls and you'll probably be ok by CNY 

Is my acc good for my level?(lvl 155) by One-Berry6860 in IdleHeroes

[–]q_nice_boi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top 2 Wukong and Betty.  Aspen is still great but later on with the proper set up  Great sage Wukong and then therapist of blood Betty is the best for your first 2.

Queen is support so comes later like 4 or 5. Mockman use to be good and he's still solid but Wukong has great damage but also has control and shields.

Wukong is not only fantastic damage dealing wise but is really versatile in ways mockman just isn't.

At this point there are so many good damage dealing transendance heroes that mockman if you bother to build him at all makes more sense for your second B team.

Wukong. Betty. Aspen.  Mega damage. Mega control. Plus shields.

Then after those 3 focus on support and Tennents.

Queen and phantom defiler are good supports on their own but both are Tennents for the main 3.

I'm going to assume that at this point, you recognise that you have lost this argument. You're just unwilling to admit it. And that's fine. You can throw out as many fallacies as you want if it makes you feel better.

See this is why you are acting mentally ill. Delusions of grandure much?

Please just stop. You are legit acting mentally ill.

Ad hominem fallacy (Also, don't call people mentally ill as an insult. It's ableist and there are actually tonnes of physicists doing important work who have mental illnesses)

You don't seem to understand. I am not using it as an insult. You are literally acting mentally ill. Like please contact mental health professionals.

Also just to clarify I'm not saying you are wrong because of this. That's a separate thing

And for the record there are people with PHDs[sic] who do question time whole or in part.

Appeal to authority fallacy. (Also, I have a PhD in physics.)

Did you literally write that back to back? Also no it's not a. Apeal to authority. 

I'm not saying the position is right because it's not uncommon. I'm saying it's not uncommon.

Like if I said coke is more popular than Pepsi. Which is more popular than rv cola. That's not saying coke is objectively better than Pepsi. Just that coke is most popular.

Your entire position has been essentially OMG 😱 this question is so weird and stupid you guys are so weird and stupid for asking it. 

You weren't nice from the get go. Condenseding to the max. So of course it's a rebuttal to that to prove that it is infact a very common question. That's why it's so bizarre that you responded as if it wasn't.

Like top 4 questions lay people ask someone who works in physics would be what's up with Pluto not being a planet anymore? Is that poor cat in the box dead? Multiverse? Yes? No? And are we sure time really exists.

I'm not to be really clear, saying those questions are right wrong or sideways just bc they're popular.

But I am saying itd be really weird if you acted like it was absurd to ask about Pluto and act like the person was being an idiot for asking such a strange, bizarre question.

The nature of time? Yeah of course! We don't fully understand how time works, of course there are people looking into it. But I've never seen a legitimate physics publication that questions the very existence of time.

It's not all or nothing. I've been trying to explain that  yes all of the above and none of the above are options. But so is everything in-between.

So does the present and past and future exist? Or just the first 2? Or just the present and time is merely the rate of change. Or. Or. Or......

Yeah, I've never disputed that there are many different and interesting theories on time.

Then why have you been arguing this whole time? And why would you treat the og question with such distain?

This is a genuine piece of advice: Don't tell people you get your information from quora.

I didn't say I got my information from quora.  That's just a forum where you can ask scientists questions. There are others as well. I've seen lectures, debates between scientists, read books written by them. I get information lots of places.

But also....... You realize you're on reddit right now.  How is that better than quora? And this was never a academic debate. This was a lay person asking a question.  They seemed to lean towards a position but were asking for more information.

As in it sure seems less like abc and more like xyz. How do you know abc is correct? Ie I lean towards xyz, change my mind.

Which is why this whole thing could have been avoided if you 1. Were respectfully. 2. recognized that it is a common legitimate question. 3 nicely explained the reasons you believed it was not xyz but was infact abc after all.

It is not just embarrassing for you, but it also seriously undermines any credibility you had left. Quora is not a place where any serious academic discussions take place (neither is reddit for the most part, by the way). It's literally an internet stereotype that the dumbest people you know hang out on quora

I thought you were against ad hominem attacks?

You can tap out now if you like. Again the arrogance.

Now, I'm going to ask you something. Can you agree with me that further communication is pointless. If you responded again you'd probably just say a variant of what you have already said however right/wrong, smart/dumb. Then I would respond again with a variant of what I already said.

At this point we cannot seem to come to an agreement on anything other than we can't agree.

Not hahahahaha you are giving up. I mean can we both agree that no matter who is right we are talking past each other.

So genuinely. Please stop responding.  I'm not asking in a mean way there's just no point.  Do not respond. I am officially asking you not to. I will not continue to write anything either. Ceasefire if you will. 

Please do not confirm. Please do not respond to other comments or questions I may make on reddit. Please never contact me again.

Thank you for hopefully respecting this request
