Borchardt Interview on Infinity and "The Ten Assumptions of Science"

 PSI Blog 20201109 Borchardt Interview on Infinity and "The Ten Assumptions of Science"

 

I thought the interview with David de Hilster of the Chappell Natural Philosophy Society went especially well. Congrats to David, Bob, Ian, Nick, and others for the great questions!

 

You can see a recording of the 2-hour interview at:

They both go to the same place.

Hi from Tübingen, S. Germany.

It isn't possible to view the videos on Streamyard.
I can try the Chappel sites e.g. Screw-YouTube.
Brighteon and BitChute are much better.

I can somehow "get-a-feel" for the infinitely small but the infinitely big is beyond my intellectual comprehension. Eternity i can also "get-a-taste" of.

A question :- In an infinite universe there would be an infinite number of causes. Surely this would be indeterminate.
The Electric Universe Theory is a very usable theory but i am not convinced that electricity is more fundamental than magnetism.
............... Many thanks.......... Dhan Hurley

Thanks for the comment. I remember having the same problem. On the other hand, it is hard to imagine a universe that comes to an end somewhere. However, if you study "The Ten Assumptions of Science,” you find micro and macro infinity to be necessary.

You are right that every cause and effect occurrence is indeterminate. Every measurement of every cause has a plus or minus. That is because every microcosm is bathed in an infinity of super microcosms (particles in the environment) that make it so. The perfectly empty space hypothesized by Newton, La Place, and Einstein does not exist. Perfect determinism with a finite number of factors producing perfect precision is impossible.
