Faster than light?
Re: Faster than light?
No kidding.
So do we say the cat is alive until it is seen dead? If so, the cat is praying for alone time.

How would consciousness play into it's death.
Re: Faster than light?
Well, that's hard to say without knowing what death is. But, maybe this is the ultimate virtual reality game, in which case, we'd just wake up or take off the goggles.Pigeon wrote:How would consciousness play into it's death.

Re: Faster than light?
The cat is dead and alive because, until the box is opened, the timeline is shrouded in possibility. It is both dead and alive because there is one timeline where it is dead and another where it is alive, but the pre-determination has not been realized until the experience of it either being dead or alive is realized.
In quantum physics, you could say that the quantum field has collapsed into blah blah blah, but more simply for the sake of the experience as a whole, it is just that THIS TIME it is either one or the other. In another time, there would never even be a thought of putting a cat in a box with a deadly gas in the first place because everyone would be way too busy doing spinart.

Re: Faster than light?
I tend to believe that anything that's not simple cannot hold up the test of time. The attempt to control both past present and future is the aim of the most esoteric of the sciences. We battle an interdimensional despot in our rejection of science in favor of faith on occasions. Too much information about the space we occupy might kill us.

Sounds like an extension of Ockham's Razor.I tend to believe that anything that's not simple cannot hold up the test of time
