Re: Philosophical implications of Einsteinian physics

You're saying that interpretations are subjective? That there can't be a correct one and a wrong one?
I think it depends on your worldview and purpose. So the correct one is one that best explains your worldview or achieves your purpose. As you said, it's how you want it. But... no... can't be arbitrary... uh I'm confused.

for somebody else it might mean that god doesn't exist as the speed of light is finite and constant, which means as well there is nothing which interacts with our world that travels faster than light and therefore an all knowing god can't exist, because he couldn't know something at the same time that is separated in space.
At the speed of light, time does not pass right? So light can be anywhere instantaniously thus know everything. But then, from our perspective, it would take time for the light to arrive. I don't quite understand this part. Is this the twin paradox thingy? Also, all forms of information is stored by light energy and transmitted through light energy and there is no knowledge beyond that intrinsic to lights, right?

There are many popular science books about this right? What does it say? I've never read any -can't understand them.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
