whats right and whats wrong???

                 From a philosophical point of view their is nothing right or wrong. We usually judge a particular thing as right or wrong depending on whether we feel happy or guilty(sad,regretful etc) respectively about that particular thing... however, these feelings are nothing more than a set of biochemical reactions taking place inside our body.. these reactions can be boiled down to the motion of molecules, atoms, electrons and so on. This motion is again judged by the laws of…

John Bell's statement on BBC about Superdeterminism

There is a way to escape the inference of superluminal speeds and spooky action at a distance. But it (Superdeterminism) involves absolute determinism in the universe, the complete absence of free will. Suppose the world is super-deterministic, with not just inanimate nature running on behind-the-scenes clockwork, but with our behavior, including our belief that we are free to choose to do one experiment rather than another, absolutely predetermined, including the "decision" by the…

Albert Einstein said...

In the view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited

human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is

no God. But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support

of such view.

We know nothing about [God and the world] at all. All our knowledge is but the knowledge of school children. Possible we shall know a little more than we do now. But the real nature of

things, that we shall never know, never.

I see a pattern,…

Lessons for Evolutionary Theory from My Cousin Vinny: Opinion vs. Fact

I faxed Eugenie C. Scott my Open Letter regarding Ernst Mayr’s first step in natural selection (“everything is a matter of chance”), but I haven’t heard from her. I am not sure of the reason for her lack of response, but I don’t think she can show how such a statement qualifies as science. If she can, I am very receptive.…

The "Hidden" Hypothesis Underlying Probability Theory

As Natalie Angier of The New York Times writes in The Canon, "You have, of course, a 50 percent chance of tossing a head (or a tail) with each throw - in other words, a probability of 0.5." The notion that a fair coin has an equal chance of landing heads or tails on the next toss is the foundation of probability theory and the statistical view of the world. Unless you missed the last 50 years in science, you know that randomness and chance are (supposedly) the hallmark of nature… Continue
