From what i know, the theory is that it is more likely that some sort of a brain would form spontaneously without the need for a universe, than the likelihood of a universe occurring and then that universe evolving a brain or brains. You're ignoring the 1st Law of Thermodynamics. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. Therefore nothing exists. Scientists invariably say that there is a source of energy. They just don't know what or where it is. Basically existence goes beyond God. It simply cannot be explained. For the universe having a form and apparently to us substance, grand design or intelligent form that is purely random? That's up to the individual to decide.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	Why waste time getting metaphysical about the origins of the universe, or the energy that can't be created or destroyed, only changed? We only have a short time living, and we've found no other planet, with life, and only a few maybe's far, far, away, that would take a lifetime or more, to get there, just to see if our planet's life, could survive on them. It's a nice dream, but not much of a life.

Laws of Thermodynamics \| Back to Top Energy exists in many forms, such as heat, light, chemical energy, and electrical energy. Energy is the ability to bring about change or to do work. Thermodynamics is the study of energy.

keepit ★★★★★ (3060)	IBDM, Wikipedia says that the originator (Everett) considers his theory to be a "metatheory". I wrote an amateur book on it about 30 years ago and thought i was the originator but i wasn't. Apparently about 1/2 of cosmologists consider it valid. Arguing about the semantics of what to call it is a waste of time, i would say.

IBdaMann★★★★★ (14414)	keepit wrote: IBDM, I wouldn't think it's considered a theory but i think it's a fact. I don't think cosmologists consider it a conjecture but some might. Nope. How do you imagine that it is a "fact" when you cannot show it to be the case whatsoever? You are referring to the multiple worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. The word "interpretation" in this context means "think of it this way." For example, I could tell you to think of gravity as a bunch of invisible demons throwing their batarangs around objects and pulling down, and to think of demons with more mass as being bigger and stronger and having a stronger pull. Now that you have thought if it in that way, does it make it a fact that invisible demons are pulling down on things? The quantum mechanics part of that tells you that it is math, not science. Quantum mechanics is a branch of applied statistical mathematics and can only afford you an analysis of probabilities based on the parameters you provide. The extent to which you are in error about the parameters you provide is the extent to which your calculations will diverge from reality. keepit wrote:I can't remember exactly but there's a difference between calculating a probability ahead of time vs calculating it after the fact. We have a winner! Yes, there is a huge difference because there is no such thing as a probability where the result is known. Probabilities only apply where the result is not known, typically owing to the fact that it is yet to happen in the future but all that is required is for the result to not be known. Once the result happens and is known, then the wave function collapses (Schroedinger's Cat) and you are left with one of two binary options for any particular event, i.e. either it occurred (100% likelihood that it happened) or it did not (0% likelihood that it happened) ... with the two adding up to 100%. Your knowledge of the results determines which option you realize transpired with absolute certainty ... because you already know. No calculations are required because there are no probabilities. .

Now that you have thought if it in that way, does it make it a fact that invisible demons are pulling down on things? The quantum mechanics part of that tells you that it is math, not science. Quantum mechanics is a branch of applied statistical mathematics and can only afford you an analysis of probabilities based on the parameters you provide. The extent to which you are in error about the parameters you provide is the extent to which your calculations will diverge from reality. keepit wrote:I can't remember exactly but there's a difference between calculating a probability ahead of time vs calculating it after the fact. We have a winner! Yes, there is a huge difference because there is no such thing as a probability where the result is known. Probabilities only apply where the result is not known, typically owing to the fact that it is yet to happen in the future but all that is required is for the result to not be known. Once the result happens and is known, then the wave function collapses (Schroedinger's Cat) and you are left with one of two binary options for any particular event, i.e. either it occurred (100% likelihood that it happened) or it did not (0% likelihood that it happened) ... with the two adding up to 100%. Your knowledge of the results determines which option you realize transpired with absolute certainty ... because you already know. No calculations are required because there are no probabilities. . Thing is, you aren't doing anything so does it matter?

keepit ★★★★★ (3060)	IBDM, Some say that there are only probabilities, the universe is mathematical. In other words, causes cause only probabilities. They don't cause actual results. Like the difference between probability before and probability afterward, the difference between causing probabilities and causing results is subtle. Maybe too subtle. Edited on 15-11-2019 01:34

WRONG. You have to define the random type and source before you can calculate ANYTHING in probability. Go learn probability and random number mathematics.

It distracts from real learning in many instances i would say. No one is bringing up semantics except you. What 'semantics' do you think is being discussed here?
