The God Equation

I know the videos I linked to mean hours of time committed


But if you listen to them

They link to string theory in the end


Highly trained humans exploring the known facts


A neurosurgeon who who went from excellent Health to brain mush in hours due to an infectious disease


And how he recovered from his condition


And what he experienced while being in a brain mush state


Fully documented by the people caring for him



Love and music


Ommmm


Really is very informative and entertaining

I think it is conceivable that the vague commonalities between ancient Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, and the God of Plato and Aristotle originate from something older than the Mesopotamian civilizations.

Much older.

The concept of an individual, immortal soul, spiritual salvation, and some sort of divine justice for the righteous and the wicked might have come from the Neolithic proto-IndoEuropeans who lived on the Russian steppes and migrated into India, Persia, and Europe prior to the Bronze Age.

The proto Indo-Europeans are the common archaic link between all those civilizations.

Maybe, could be, probably. It would seem logical.

Code of Hammurabi is a provable source of the 'Eye for an Eye' in the Old Testament.
Epic of Gilgamesh is a provable source for the 'Flood Story' in the Old Testament.

"Zoroaster – forgotten prophet of the one God"
"The Abrahamic religions were preceded, and decisively influenced by, followers of an earlier prophet"
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/belief/2010/jul/13/abrahamic-religion-zoroastrian-judaism
This would substantiate your claim.

Before Zoroaster ... Mithra.

"Mithraism, the worship of Mithra, the Iranian god of the sun, justice, contract, and war in pre-Zoroastrian Iran. Known as Mithras in the Roman Empire during the 2nd and 3rd centuries CE, this deity was honoured as the patron of loyalty to the emperor. After the acceptance of Christianity by the emperor Constantine in the early 4th century, Mithraism rapidly declined."

Near-Death Experiences: The Stories They Tell

This is a talk with questions after


By a well respected scholar on the subject


He mentions this neurosurgeons case



The neurosurgeons story has been accepted by the field due to his documentation and noted respect in his field

When he came out of the comma he had no memory of this world and the life he had lived before the illness


He could not even understand language

A few days after he could speak and understand speach


His adult son told him he needed to write it all down before he researched anything about this type of experience


He did


After he recovered he delved into the subject


He then saw all the patterns in other reported experiences


I think he experienced being in the string theory structure

fairytale physics

In Farewell to Reality Baggott joins Lee Smolin, Peter Woit, Sabine Hossenfelder, and too few others, in making some very pointed observations about how modern physics has blurred the line between fact and flights of fancy.

Theoretical physics, higher mathematics, and philosophy, all share a trait that lends itself to such flights: they all are a form of storytelling, of fiction. They are products of our imagination.

Often fiction turns to fact, and many physical and mathematical “fictions” have eventually become fact. Others have not, but such fictions tend to be open-ended: we may discover, at any time, something that makes them fact.

Also, it’s important to never step on creativity and imagination. Those are crucial to leading us in new directions. At the same time, we need to be careful about distinguishing what is factual and what is fanciful.

Lee Smolin and Julian Barbour spent a lifetime explaining The Trouble with Physics to layman. They risked their careers exposing the fairy-tales of physics. From their deathbeds they are finally getting well deserved recognition.

I already said pretty much the same thing, but more succinctly, way back in post #2.

I'm agreeing with you. Evangelical mathematics is garbage in garbage out. 1/1000 of a degree mistake leads to a decade of dead end hypothesis. They can't falsify math no one understands. I've been following Lee Smolin and Julian Barbour since I first got access to the internet. It's nice seeing them finally get funding and recognition.

It doesn't bother me excessively that string theory has not been confirmed yet. But I do think it is way premature to call it a theory.

But in theoretical physics, mathematics frequently leads experimental corroboration. General relativity was not experimentally corroborated until 1919. I think the Higgs Boson was predicted in the 1970s, but not experimentally confirmed it until 2012.

I feel like string theory is a really cool idea, but it has been somewhat over rated because we cannot even test the idea yet.

I'm in the camp with those who oppose TOE and a finite universe. I believe we're just scratching the surface of understanding the multiverse. To me, Stephen Hawking was a quack selling fairy-tale physics. I enjoyed it when the science community stepped in and forced him to admit his storytelling was mathematical fiction. But it was his inflated ego that bothered me the most. It's funny seeing new theories on black holes getting attention.

I do not have a PhD in physics and would barely understand anything written by Hawking in a technical paper published in a high impact physics journal.

Therefore, I am not entitled to a personal opinion about his significance to science.

His professional peers, on balance, seem to think Hawking was one of the more consequential physicists of the last 50 years.

The philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn maintained that scientific progress is punctuated by periods of stagnation - when certain top tier scientists get too much influence and become the gatekeepers of attempts at novel ideas and new theories.

Kuhn maintains that sometimes science has to wait for the Old guard to die off before the novel ideas of young researchers can gain traction.

The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.
