Does Pi need the universe to exist? Can you imagine a mathematical expression so sophisticated that it’s actually sentient?

Posted recently somewhere on this site:

“As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.”

Max Planck (1858-1947) Father of Quantum Physics

"Here is a sentence: “The Roman Empire collapsed, ushering in a Dark Age, a time of unprecedented chaos.” Forget the truth or falsity of that sentence. It’s not at issue."

But the author just had to say it. The collapse of the Roman Empire was a good thing.

How about the simple idea that God’s world—the spirit world—is apart from and normally inaccessible by the material world.

“Do atoms understand language?”

Language?...Ah, no.

...(if anyone studies logic anymore).

There are laws against that with heavy penalties.

Good article, thanks.

The author wrote a witty and humorous piece, while the topic is really interesting for some and important for many.

All is physical. We're simply not yet ready to know much about the various physics of worlds.

When a living creature on earth truly rests, consciousness only temporarily shuts down on one end.

Well, sorry to dig this hole even deeper, but if the cells in your brain wear out and are replaced, then how can we remember anything that happened over five years ago? Democrats can’t remember what happened beyond last weekend.

Two atoms are walking down the street one day, and one of them says to the other: "Hey, wait up a second. I think I lost an electron" The first atom replied, "Are you sure?" The second atom exclaimed, "Yes, I'm positive!"

A proton, neutron, and electron went out to dinner one night. After a luxurious meal, the waiter brought the check to the proton and the electron. The neutron was perplexed as to why the waiter didn't bring him his check. So, he summoned the waiter to the table and asked him about it. The waiter explained to the neutron, "For you, there's no charge!"
