Just wanted to share a paper by Peter Lynds that covers basically my same exact thoughts on how the universe works. The only difference I currently have is that I do not think any "bounce" would be the exact same. I will say my argument for that difference is related to the idea of consciousness - the ability to say no to a stimulus. This boils down to free will, which I do not believe can be predicted. Hmmmm. Now I am thinking that maybe the universe could replay exactly, but we will NEVER be able to have an equation to answer the whole thing. I have some more thinking to do about this subject.
Anyways, here is the paper by Peter Lynds.
I think that the only way that we could ever even predict free will is to completely map out the brain of the person in question, finding out the exact relation of the neurons and how they would influence a decision. And the big question is: would that process change the outcome of the idea? Touche, Schrodinger.
ReplyDeleteThere are many neuroscientists claiming free will does not exist. They say everything is a reaction to a stimulus. This bothers me, for I know I can say yes or no to a stimulus. Yes this is my reaction, but I do not believe this will ever be able to be predicted by someone else.
ReplyDeleteFor discussion sake, this also happens to be my definition of a god. A god is something I cannot control, yet affects me. This is one reason I enjoy Greek mythology, for their gods were very human-like.
Thought you may enjoy contemplating that.
