  1. Redshift is a delusion of confused measurement interpretation, according to recent developments.

  2. "Consciousness" has no scientific reality; neither does "will". These sorts of matters are unavailable to material science--but its proponents will weigh-in, anyway. The "know it all" arrogance demonstrated by Sabine is commonplace in "science", where only the "machine" awareness is allowed. Science is not so much an exposition of reality as it is a game of knowledge played with words. Modern science wants to drive in everyone else's lanes. Whether science is right or not in matters outside its proper purview is irrelevant to me while I'm driving--the rules of road safety command: stay out of my lane!

  3. Old knowledge is threatened by new knowledge. What better way to eliminate that threat than to ignore new directions?!

  4. Amusing math games aside, what happens when you have TWO watchers?

  5. Hierarchical emergence, a "new idea"?! It's a rather ancient idea, actually! It's too big to be very useful, though, except to philosophers. Maybe the new interest Sabine expresses will result in meeting the rubber of philosophy with the road of reality...for the first time!

  6. I'm not sure which I find more unlikely, Howard's assertions, or Sabine's refutations! 😂

  7. We know it all! It seems normal enough to me for the pace of discovery to decline as discoveries are made--I don't see a reason to expect the pace of progress to simply continue unchanged...Unless, somebody discovers a new BASIS, something to displace the "atom", for instance. Then the cycle of discovery could begin again, progress, peter out, and end.

  8. I watched one of Howard's video presentations on YT, and wondered why does anybody find him persuasive. He strikes me as a conman: talk fast, change subjects, bloviate. It's a popular formula.

  9. "Gravity so strong even light can't escape"?? So, photons now have MASS?! 🤣 I wish you guys would make up your minds! But that would be unacceptably limiting, wouldn't it!
