Показать описание
We look around and see innumerable things and to each we give a separate name. But most things are composites, made up of smaller, more fundamental things. So digging down to bedrock reality, what are the fewest numbers of independent things? Particles, forces, fields in the physical world? Anything mental? Anything spiritual?



Don N. Page is a Canadian theoretical physicist at the University of Alberta, Canada.


Closer to Truth, hosted by Robert Lawrence Kuhn and directed by Peter Getzels, presents the world’s greatest thinkers exploring humanity’s deepest questions. Discover fundamental issues of existence.

He puts god in the "concrete" category? 🙄🙄 This person can't be taken seriously.

The scientific materialistic approach struggles with an interview like this one. In the end the only truth is we do not really know, and the elephant in the room is how much hope we have in getting answer after we die or not: either because there is nothing (this does not seem to be case based on NDE accounts) or because we live on (not physically) and “remember” or are told the answers.

The abstract called Love can be expressed concretely as a hug, etc.

4:37 Robert looks at clock and thinks: "i cannot wait to get out of this one".
6:50 Robert thinking: "Don Page you make absolutely no sense".

Too "out there" to follow. As far as consciousness goes, unless there is an agreed upon meaning of it, it's hard to integrate into conversations. Is it just something more than being awake and doing things using only what the animal is programmed to do? Does it start with using learned experiences to determine a course of action? Does it start with pondering things that have nothing to do with just surviving? We see that some other mammals appear to have feelings. Is that a form of consciousness? Or, must it be at the level of asking where we came from?

This is definitely a less useful video in an otherwise great series! Starting with God as part of the concrete world? Come on…

What can we observe? an evolutioning process. Every conversation, that fuels more new thoughts and words is, nothing else than adding more information to our evolving conscious mind. We do not notice that the search for answers is a function of evolution, and that consciousness is working constantly to make sense out of all materials gathered in the meantime. Reality has many facets, because of the new discoveries in the micro world. But it all depends on the configuration of our consciousness and how much sense is put into it.
In the meantime all talks and thoughts are additional feeds for our evolutioning minds, and in the near future there will be someone who's conscious mind develop's an acceptable theory or maybe more to unanswered questions.

The Eternal Reality,
is 'Genious Camouflaged Empty Space'
The Eternal life, is 100% Immaterial, Non-pysical, Un-created,
so, Life is Not physical, in it self.
The physical reality, Stuff-side, Motion-Ocean, is an Illusion,
but, it is a Real Illusion, a Eternal Miracle.

'The two legs', that Stuff-side 'walk' on,
is Heat and Cold,
the condition of All Stuff, depends of the 'combination', of Hot and Cold.
Just the most basic.

At the heart of everything is NOTHING said BUDDHA. Everything is our mind’s conceptual construction.

Reality consists of potentials, not things.

Don has definitely got a "page" (screw) loose. He's talking complete gibberish.

Tens of thousands of years to end up back at “dunno” God.

All things in reality consist of all that is reality. ( consciousness, mind, matter particles, time, )

Is your perception of reality the same as reality itself? Are we ever not perceiving?
