A question about discreteness (just don't hit the table too hard for being off-topic) - page 9

Really? I'd like to hear a pro's opinion.

So would I.

I asked a simple question - how - or rather, with what - do corpuscules combine with each other? The corpuscules - okay, I'm just calling them that for fun, call them something else.

 
Nilog:

And I would like to.

With what, with what. By information they are united. That they are united.

This is not a joke.

 
Nilog: I asked a simple question - how, or rather, with what, do corpuscules combine with each other? Corpuscules - I see, I just call them so for fun, call them something else.

Let's be specific. You're not just asking that question. What specific object do you associate with such a corpuscle?

P.S. Perhaps, I was wrong before, having answered you so sharply.

 
Swetten:

A hypothesis (an assumption, a mental experiment) will save you.

Mankind has come a long way because of its ability to operate with hypotheses and conjectures about non-existent objects of thought.

And, of course, one of the foundations of all sciences is philosophy.


How far would it have travelled if it had not operated on them? There is nothing to compare it with, which means that all measurements are just conventions and abstractions.

how is it possible to judge a process based on it? how is it possible to compare it with something if their nature is initially different? there are simply similarities and maybe we are not able to go deeper into the study and it may turn out that the processes are not so identical?

 
Nilog:

I recently read in a thread here that there is discretion in forex too - "like everywhere else in this world".

I don't give a damn about forex. Not having a maths background, it's hard for me to appreciate the case. But I don't understand discreteness in the physical sense - if there is a connection between discrete components, roughly speaking corpuscles (quarks or whatever else they come up with, leptons) - what does it physically manifest itself in? How does it spread? By corpuscles as well? But how does one corpuscle know about the other? How do they interact? Is the field also discrete? But then how are the discrete components connected?

I think the particles love each other. There, that's why they don't disperse.
 

Intellectual cannibalism again.

I won't ask who wanted the old, dead branches.

Victor, it's fine. It's better to put it in the old one than to open a new one on the same topic. I didn't notice it then either. Now I know it exists. It's a good philosophical topic.
