Philosophy (Arts & Humanities) - November 2006

Given that the limiting velocity in our universe is the speed of light and tachyons move at greater than light speed and can never slow down to light speed, therefore being doomed to exist (if at all) forever beyond our event horizon how can their existence ever be proved? And if proof of their existence is not possible then is belief in their existence similar in kind to a belief in God, i.e., requiring faith?

Are we really educated or are we merely vessels that hold information?

Competition, remberance, and fear.
We are told how to think what to think and how to act.
Our education does not cover self understanding.
You end up knowing a great deal about things and how they are seen to work and assume the rest, through what we term opinion.
What then is intelligence?

Meaning of life - have you thought about it?

What is the meaning of life?

Has this thought crossed your mind and do you know how old you were the first time you thought it? Is it something we only think about during challenging times in life?

My partner has never thought it and is laid back. I'm philosophical and can be intense and remember thinking it at 15.

I have a philosophy tell me what you think.?

After having several philosophy courses i have come up with the following philosophy. The world is so divided these days as this relegion hates the tenets of that relegion and this culture can't abide the ways or that culture. All these differences are differences of philosophy so if perception defines reality isn't it fair to say that what any given individual beleives to be true(outside of factual information) is true for that person. I beleive in personal philosophy bubbles-much like personal space bubbles- an area in which all you hold to be true is true. If everyone believed this than noone would have too hate and fight anymore. You could sit next to someone who disagreed with everything you hold sacred and yet not feel threatened or the need to convert them. You are right in your bubble and they are right in their bubble. Doesn't this make more sense than war?
