Can you answer this?(scientific question)

here is and interesting question which touches on some points raised in other posts.. can things really move?.

if you haven't thought about it before it may seem like a stupid question, but i'll try to explain.. one of the principles of quantum physics is that things do not get infinatly smaller.there is a granuality to objects so at some point things don't get any smaller.. the same holds with energy if you take energy out of a system you can not go on forever .eventually you hit absolute zero were every thing is still.. in the other direction , the speed of light is an absolute limit.. so what happens if you make smaller and smaller movements eventually you would stop.but what is the next smallest movement between being stopped and moving?.

if we put some figures on it it may make it easier.. if to be stoped is 0 and the next possible amonut of movment is 1 you could not move say 1/2 as that is smaller than 1 and if you could keep dividing forever like this you would never reach absolute standstill.. so like the particals in the universe movment has to be granular as well.made up of definate jumps though very tiny.. if this is the case then there is a problem how does one object , if we imagine the smallest to be a quark jump from one place to another is it technicaly the same object or a new one ?.

...if everyone in the world shut their eyes, everything would cease to exist.

No, this thinking is wrong. (It would be ok. if you are dying - but not if sleeping, or closing your eyes..)

Note: there is always a type of "sensorium" which is existing subordinated to yours:
cells, molecular structures, and finally atomar and subatomar structures. Therefore, the things continue to exist in reality - until there would be a situation where ABSOLUTELY NO sensorium does exist to observe, sense or measure any TIME and/btw any ambient physical change of state. In macro-structures, e.g. this happens in the middle of a "black hole". Ask physicists; they will assert there is NO TIME at all. Or BEFORE the BIG BANG - there was the same situation. There was NO TIME existing at all. Ask Mr. S. Hawkings; he will explain it better.

Easy.
Each observed particle comes to "reality". Because, if sensorium to "observe", then TIME, (if TIME, then of course velocity too..), therefore is distance and "space" - and as a final result: OBSERVED REALITY.

Sorry. End of more explanations for today...

The possibility of reform?

by Norm in

a quite interesting article on the possibility of reforming ones religion was printed in the february 1.

1995 issue of the watchtower, which asked the following question: .

"your religiona ship that should never be abandoned?.

Erich

hi barry,

excellent, what you've said!

The reform of religions (including WTS) will come true - no matter where they think this change came from God's will or came from reformers will. For most of all religions is "reform" the same thing as "end".

They all know about YHVH/JHWH nothing at all, although they allege to be his servants. The "normative power of facts" is what is changing the world. It's the same power Jehovah had claimed for himself....

sleepy's question:

...if we imagine the smallest to be a quark jump from one place to another is it technicaly the same object or a new one ?
If this is true it raises so very interesting questions as to the nature of things the stucture of the universe and time itself.
So when we move are all our parts really moving or are they jumping from one place to another?.

Easy answer: They are "jumping" (it's not quite correct, but it matches with the idea you have) as long as the "particals" are not observed by any type of sensorium. (Even a subatomar structure can serve as "sensorium). Note: if there is no sensorium to detect (or "observe) TIME, then there is no TIME objectively existent too! And a "distance" is a function of time, you know...
Note: this fact is the reason why physicists had to use "quantum theory" to explain and define the fundamentals of atomar and subatomar structures...

I think the figure of 6 million will survive is way too liberal. It should be more like 1 million...

no, gambler, this isn't: because consequently God had to re-install the hell he has abolished meanwhile..lol

take it easy, gambler. YHVH/JHWH is a kind and merciful God. And most of all: He is sane and not insane...

The law of the land and God's law through Christ forbid us to kill apostates, even though they be members of our own flesh-and-blood family relationship.

Huchhhhh, thats dangerous.
What if "new light" drives them to the opinion, they we have to obey more to God than to the "law of the land" ...;-( --- back to the "roots" - and if some elders come to the view that I'd be possibly an apostate...

No, Eric, forget it... forget it

Amazing. I will go to check this in my old WT-literature.

Do the Math Erich. 6 million JWs. 6 billion inhabitants on planet earth. JWs are 0.1% of the earth's population. The other 99.9% are not, and according to your beliefs, must be destroyed at Armageddon

Sorry, no biblical statement or message supports this view.

In contrary:
If one watches the social, economical and political processes here on earth during the last decades, one must come to the opinion, that God let the things happen on in a matter that they do not "escalate" to much.

If he would not have done this, armageddon already would have come long ago - for many reasons! Look at the collapse of the UDSSR and other communist states! I'm sure he is willing to help most of all people to survive !

Scully:

Please do not throw all JW's into the same pot.

I am JW more than 16 yrs and I never have felt "Schadenfreude" regarding those people not surviving armageddon... Most of my friends too. We do not believe that 99,9% of all people will die. Nonsense. Totally.

JW's shall be bootstraps-follower of Jesus Christ. As you surely know, Jesus never had felt Schadenfreude during his whole life (in contrary, he wept about Jerusalem's fall); but his enemies though!

JT:

Don't forget: You have been a "true org-servant" in high position during many many years. Why didn't you leave earlier when you saw
"Schadenfreude" and unbiblical behavior? Why didn't you discuss this topic with D. Sydlik or G. Loesch ??

What will happen to the children?

i don't know that answer entirely so i'll wait and see what happens.

seven006:

My theory about the meaning of the name YHVH/JHWH has nothing to do with hidden Thora code or Jewish kabbala mystics. It is exclusively based on scientific fundamentals, on metamathematics, propositional calculus and epistemology, and in addition, on the physical consequences if one has auto-adaptation, self-optimization and artificial intelligence based on linear time-quantizing and analyzing of sensor-signalamplitudes (see my Pat. US6172941 )

About D. Hofstadter: I read this book in the eighties, because it contains the best description of difficult meta-mathematical and logical stuff, about Goedel, Church, Turing and so on.
His opinion about AI got meanwhile overwhelmed through new cognitions which came from informatics and robotics experts esp since 1990 - 95.

Hofstadters philosophy basing on zen-buddhism etc. had no influence to my world-view at all.

If you buy Hofstadters book, please send me an e-mail that I can help you to find out the pages which are most important.
