The BBC article (below) omits mentioning that Time is a human invention that - at least - originated in the Sumerian civilisation. Humans have a habit of making mistakes. Hence, Time might indeed not “exist”. The real problem might be answering the question: what is Time ? The Sumerian civilisation used Earth’s orbits around the Sun as a way of calculating time (eg,...
A recent Phys article confirmed my thoughts of several years ago: "Information could be a fundamental part of the universe, and may explain dark energy and dark matter". My thoughts had changed following a 2020 Big Think article: There is no dark matter. Instead, information has mass, physicist says. Please see the progress in my thinking in my 2021 (left) and 2025...
Intro LO: Actually, I have no idea what the answer is to my question above, despite my diagram in my recent blog of 20 June 2025; also see below. For me, data / info belongs to the unknown unknowns. Hence, the recent Quanta article (below): What Is Information? The Answer Is a Surprise. Nevertheless, in my mind, I picture - or fantasize - data-info as "tokens" in a...
Ik ben geneigd om JA te denken op mijn vraag hierboven. Denk hierbij aan deze bekende tegenstellingen: geluid-stilte, leeg-vol, leven-dood, licht-donker, open-dicht, warm-koud, en wit-zwart. Alles lijkt een keerzijde te hebben. Toch blijf ik twijfelen. Mijn 7 geloofssystemen (o.a. Liefde, Geld, Waarheid) zijn echter complexer dan bovenstaande bekende...
In March 2018, I wrote about the simplicity bias, part-1 to part-5. It took me some months before I realised everything is getting more complex (eg, in life, nature, universe). In September 2018, I started writing on the complexity bias (1). Many episodes followed (eg, part-14 in 2024). Today, starts part-15. Early April 2025, Quanta published this article: Why...
A recent Aeon-Psyche article stated that "language both enables and interferes with our grasp of reality". Indeed, our language enables our communication and/but will also result in confusion (eg, meaning, translation). Actually, everything that enables will also interfere (eg, life vs death). This phenomenon may relate to dualism (eg, knowledge = power) and/or...
