| 1190629 | 2011-03-31 22:41:00 | That was a typo Wal so thanks for that, but if we leave it as "here", making it a verb ie to place him in the moment, does that make it existentialist enough for you? I was really doing nothing except being mischievous re the typo (you have to admit it - the typo - gave an entirely different meaning to your words). :D However, I think you may be applying the wrong label (existentialism) to the thread. Although I haven't followed it (the thread) in any detail, in my understanding it's not about existentialism. Unless I'm missing something? :horrified |

| 1190632 | 2011-04-03 22:53:00 | If there is no intelligent observer does time exist, or, what would be here if you were not. (1) If I leave my office, it continues to exist in space and time. The first is proven by the increase in my unanswered email items and the second by its continued nagging presence on my return. If a tree falls over in a forest and there is no-one there does it make a sound? (2) Yes. Sound is simply pressure variations in the air (hence no sound in a vacuum). Sound exists whether we are present to hear it or not. If the Wizard falls over in the square and there is no audience does he make a sound? (3) See 2 If you want to be profound zqwerty, you'll have to do better than that. :D Time is universal, in the deeper meaning of the word, so on the scale of the universe, the presence or absence of mankind is infinitesimally small and thus totally insignificant. Time would still exist, though perhaps unmeasured. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1190633 | 2011-04-04 00:40:00 | You are wrong Billy T time only exists when there is an intelligent observer and is an invention of that observer in an attempt to make sense of things. Time is a concept not a reality. As to the sound vs noise question, it is an observer that notices the sound of the noise if there is no observer then the event does happen but no sound is heard. The Wizard question was a joke, and a very funny one too if you have ever been around the Wizard for any length of time observing him. |
