Ideas exist... yet they arent things.


constructively, not tangibly

you cant put an idea in a bottle and send it to me.

an idea cannot "act"

only a "thing" can act  even if only at a molecular level

That word can be used in many ways...

So perhaps we were all right?


"person" for instance is an aggregation, it does not exist.  (ecept by construction.

You can operate in or under a "persona" that being your "title" for instance.

You are real, the rest is purely abstract and does not exist.

Cant put sunlight into a bottle, but it exists.

nice try

photons are things,  matter and energy are things

ideas and constructs are not.

Indeed they are, for proof I will say one word;  book. And you are undone.

See, when we go about learning the color green, we point out examples and hope you catch on, because we can't usefully describe it casually.   And we know that there is a concrete thing there because ( other than those of profoundly damaged circumstances) we can separate those people and have them point out green unerringly.

Or possibly they're just waves in some other thing.




Real0ne -> RE: Stephen Hawking: There is no heaven; it's a fairy story (5/24/2011 4:52:31 PM)

but most likely they are both particle and wave
