Hello

Welcome. I look forward to learning from your background. I'm more from the humanities side. I love depth-psych, linguistic philosophy, German philosophy in general....

Hello Amer and welcome. I am glad you are here and it would be interesting I think to observe what you think of Nassim Haramin's Unified Field Theory. Again, welcome.
William

Do I sense the possibility that ones math ability has run afoul of ones moral integrity???

Fido: Why don't you actually welcome the new member rather than bug them with stupid questions.

Anyway, welcome to the forum amer. Just ignore annoyances like Fido around here.

Impressive resume. Welcome.

I am sure your background in physics (and science in general) when applied to philosophical questions will be very welcome in the discussions here.
Welcome to Philforum!
Regards,
John

I have a great library on Native Americans...One of these books with the Title: Captured by the Indians, I think, told of one young man captured by the Iroquois...It was one of those deals where the guy was intended to replace some family member through adoption...But; he showed up, and was run through a gauntlet, and pretty well knocked silly...He asked the guy who had caught him about it, and the guy said: Don't worry about that...That is just our way of saying: how do you do???

It might surprise you to know that some people think I am sociable...From my perspective I have zero social skills...I am terribly conscious of my inability to read people, and of how easy it is to give offense with an ill considered word...If I get through a social affair of some sort I breathe a sigh of relief, and vow to never do it again... It would help, if you would understand of me, that I am here with a purpose...I'm not here to make enemies or friends, and I am not here to make time with the girls, or boys for that matter...I want to get past the introductions and find out what people got on their minds...My experience has been that people in their first moments with anyone tell what is the most important fact in their lives...I presume no less of people in their introductions, though I will admit, sometimes people are more coy...

So; by way of a reply, I can tell you don't like me and I don't blame you a bit...I don't think anyone likes me, and usually with better reason than you have...I would tell you one thing...You think I am bad, but that is because you haven't smelled my breath, yet...

Hey; amer... How do you do???

Don't count on it... Physics like theology hs long departed from philosophy...Our problems are moral, and not physical, so leave the physics books on the self...And I say this as a reader of physics....It is fascinating, but not much help with our majorestist problems...

Hi guys,

Good to meet you all. Fido, you know I have come to realize that people who are so articulate about their shortcomings have quite often resolved their issues to everyone's satisfaction. JGweed - one of the reasons for joining a philosophy forum rather than a physics one is a desire to discuss and discover the embedded philosophy in physics in particular Quantum mechanics and General relativity.

In particular in relation to QM - only certain parts of the mathematics that is calculated (the superpositioned eigen vectors - remember that schrodingers cat paradox?) is ever observable (the collapsed eigenstate) - So, does QM already contain an embedded metaphysics element in it in the form of that unobservable superpositioned form? I always used to think that metaphysics is something we need to look for outside of mathematics and physics but perhaps it is here right now?

Hi phiforum and Thaett..(sorry guys spelling is not my forte) , William, Deckard...good to meet you guys.

Hi William....I must be getting out of touch...I have not heard of Nassim Haramin's Unified Field Theory. I will look it up though. As far as I know no one has a unified field theory yet because of the difficulties with quantizing gravity. So, in the standard model there is Electroweak, strong and gravity. String theory (M theory) has managed to create a class of unified theories including gravity in an 11 dimensional space-time) but as I said no specific solution has been found as The Theory of thhe universe- unfortunately, string theory allows for 10**500 yes 10 to the power of 500! possible solutions so the final solution may be some time away.

All the best. Amer

Hi William,

I spent a little time reading Nassims Unified theory - It was fascinating but I had a number of questions after reading it. Below is my email to that website asking for clarification. Irrespective of the answers the thinking involved is quite brilliant and very radical. If I get a reply I will post again:

Nassim,
I throughly enjoyed reading your Unification paper. It left me with some questions though.

1. Are you saying that both the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force are replaced with Schwartz black hole - vacuum enery renormalized/rescaled interaction? Are we now left with the General relativity topology above and Electromagnetism only? i.e. only 2 forces left?
2. The standard model - Electroweak, QCD predict the standard model particles. How are these captured in your theory?

I guess I am trying to understand whether your model is replacing the standard model completely? If partially then what is left and how is the standard model modified?

Thank you Amer. I am not a physics nut but when I became familiar with him and and I have tried to follow all that this man was offering, it made an enormous amount of sense to me in his proposal of infinity in both directions micro and macro. Much of what we assumed to be wrong because of the finite limits we put on te micro side and infinity on the macro and the imbalance of that; when all we see in nature has a balance to it. Did you watch CROSSING THE EVENT HORIZON? It's available on youtube. His demeanor is rather astonishing and simple with a sense of humor one rarely finds in the scientific academic community.

Btw that video is available here in the video section.

William

Hi Willam, What impressed me was the original thinking (whether the theory ultimately turns out to be right or wrong) but as I wrote there are some basic questions which I am puzzled about. The idea to use blackholes as the as the single unified concept that threads through from micro to macro is quite brilliant but I still need to understand how this impacts the Standard Model.

I have not seen the Youtube video. I will check that out too. Thanks. All thhe best

Hello Amer,

Welcome to the Forum!

Maybe you guys haven't heard of Monsanto's Unified Field Theory. It seems that if you grow a crop in a field next to a field where another farmer is growing a crop using Monsanto's genetically engineered seeds, and some of your crop becomes geneticallly impregnated with DNA from their crop, then your crop beomes theirs and this way the fields become unified.:bigsmile:

Have fun!

You remind me of the guy who had a job as a human cannonball...He went to the boss and said: I'm tired of getting shot out of a cannon four days a week, and twice on Saturday..
And the Boss said: You can't quit me; Where am I going to find another man of your caliber???
