The Future...does It Ready Exit?

[dunnitall]

Do you actually believe the future exists and is pre planned? If not, how is it that some people see into the future...even in dreams and they do come true? Cognitive thoughts...are they for real?

[Zacs-Master]

Yep, I get that. So, again, what is the speed?

[mibn2cweus]

or less

On a separate note, I see that Theland casually dodged a direct question (again).

[Zacs-Master]

So the speed of light mibn?

LOL. If there’s no sentient being at the source, to witness the light setting off or arrivinh, how can you apply PD? (I think we may be talking time travel)

[Old_Geezer]

I should really nescio, to keep pressure up on getting an edit facility, but sometimes I notice something so late I just can't face it. It's rather depressing.

[Old_Geezer]

Theland, not being a physics/maths expert, will have pulled the figure out of the air. Without knowing details one knows multiple dimensions are postulated. 5, 10 , 300, a million ? Matters little to the general discussion. If one can have one dimension, why not an infinite number of them.

Meanwhile a thread on the future seems to have warped into one on the past and present.

I knew yesterday what I was going to do today, does that count?

Well Zacs, just so you know where I'm coming from, I've never seen the relevance of a universe without something with some capacity to know it's there and reason to appreciate its existence. Seems to me that would be a total (or at least incredibly huge) . . . waste of space.

Theland " I know tomorrow is going to be carp. Yesterday was, so was today, so here is a pattern. It never fails me. Always spot on."
The problem here is you're applying the same logic to this as you do to your religion. Because yesterday was, and today is, rough you're saying you know tomorrow will also be rough but you don't know; you have made an assumption, you won't know until tomorrow so you only have a fifty% chance of being right, not as you say 100%.

[mibn2cweus]

Well it was a Friday so carp wasn't an altogether unreasonable assumption.

[Zacs-Master]

Crikey mibn, a sentient universe?! I like it!

[mibn2cweus]

Perhaps if more people learned to appreciate the importance of the role we play as sentient intelligent beings the world might become a better place to live in the future. One can dream . . .

[Theland]

Yes of course the universe is created by a sentient being. God. He holds the past present and future in His hands so in that sense the future is already here. Or there. Or somewhere.

[mibn2cweus]

. . . and there's that dream all shot tuh hell.
