Do you think it would be paradoxical for the inhabitants of a Non-causal Parallel Universe to contemplate...?

Question

... on Logic, as we know it?

Answer 1

Good question- another highly, thought-provoking question! But , try as I might, I can't do it justice (bad headache).

My first inclination is to think that it would indeed, be paradoxical, but then I wonder if there could be sort of rules that could be established that would allow some form of inference. As long as the rules followed some pattern, arbitrary or otherwise (e.g., perhaps consistent, in there inconsistency)...?

But then I just imagine that the rules involve taking aspirin, and that is as far as I can get.

Answer 2

Intriguing train of thought. Yes, logic as we know it does require cause and effect. Hmm...a non-causal sphere sounds like some of the descriptions of an after-life that I've heard.

Answer 3

I would agree with CogitoErgo's answer, except for the 5th paragraph that seems--to me--to contradict the rest.
Logic, however "reasonable," & how important it is to ME, is still a human concept.
Indeed, to project it on inhabitants of a non-causal parallel universe is in itself "illogical."
I rest my case.

Answer 4

Modern Math has raised the possibility of Parallel Universes and I tend to think they could be close to right.

Answer 5

They would think our logic to be ridiculous and fallacious.

As someone else on here said, human logic is our intellectual and instinctive response to true universal logic.

What we perceive as valid logic may not be so elsewhere in the universe, on different levels of existence, or from different perspectives.

The faith we have in our logical deduced truths are based entirely on the assumption that our logic is valid. We are sure of our logics validity only because of the intuitive "feelings" we get from it... from our perceptions and applications of it.

I often see logic used to undermine God in the anti-theism / religious-hate and hopeless / hedonism section (renamed after the actual mentality of its patrons). I am forced to question the validity of a logic that God created used against him. Consider God an outside observer from which true universal truth is perceived, and logic is without inherent human flaw, and is universal and consistent without exception or caveat.

Logic is not constant... even from a scientific perspective. Ever heard of Quantum Logic? Applicable on the quantum level? The laws of our very own dear logic fall through the floor. And we are supposed to have infinite faith it the soundness of pure deduction?

How were the rules of logic derived to begin with? From something less pure and strict, thats what. And all without backing evidence other than how we perceive and feel about the results we get.

Logic is an abstract concept... it has no backing tangible evidence... and certainly logic cannot be used to verify logic, can it? No... intuition, instinct, feeling, and induction were the basis of formulating the rules we take for truth without question. Can the nature of logic be circular and without justification? The very surety we have for our logic is fallacious

If youre interested in reading a more thorough argument on my perception of human logic... and its possible inherent fallacies... and especially how it may help to undermine arguments against a God...

And some question of my own that I have posed about logic:

Answer 6

Might it be possible for us to have the answers for much of our inner questions (thoughts) transmitted by them?
Or, would they play with us some kind of chess as the Deities of the antique times were represented in some frescoes?

What about those sober ones, sometimes having few moments to spare for their entertainment by watching our "struggle" in here. "Those wormy-creatures have not anything else _ _ _ ", they are laughing.
(joking, duh)

Nice your idea, I subscribe at it.

By the way, what is that "LOGIC"?
When it suits you, or someone else's interests?
(Hmm, there is a barrel _; ooh, how have I sunk in it?)

Answer 7

Sorry!!! I seem to have strayed into a "Stag Party".
I had to gate-crash to see you since you are never available otherwise.

Now the Message:
Wherever you're going don't be too long; thou shalt be missed (I'm missing you already, sob sob) and;
Bring us gifts of many more interesting videos alongwith interesting experiences to share (like a shotgun wedding, maybe?) and finally;
Don't you stray too far...exploring Parallel Universe...

'Bye, baby and take care...

Answer 8

No "non-causal" nor "parallel" universe can exist. "Cause" is necessary in everything that exists except existence itself, which necessarily must exist by virtue of the definition of the words "existence exists."
So any answer to this question would be valid as hypothethical, but has no value in determining any fact of empirical existence.

Answer 9

I believe things exist, or they dont, thereafter logic exists, or it doesn't ...Logic is unchangeable, it is a part of an eternal patern, just like maths...
