The part where he says we could just be a brain in a jar being fed stimulus to think we were alive and moving around.<br /><br />Relativity as Einstein saw it was more mathematical than anything else. It had a lot to do with the way time and space are affected when approaching the speed of light. Relativity doesn't affect us normally. <br /><br />As for my mother, perhaps I'll write a post on this. <br /><br />@kelly: I hope I break it too.<br /><br />@Trash: How do you deal with time passing so fast?<br /><br />@Tony: There is a difference between delusion and subjectivity. My mother is radically religious even when it doesn't make sense.Not the Herohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01560658711479024512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118659272049199363.post-19718254721851085192011-07-06T09:09:42.033-06:002011-07-06T09:09:42.033-06:00Leila is spot on about delusion.

Boy your summers must've lasted long before now (i'm being a smartass here)<br /><br />By the way, I'm not well-versed in mathematics and was never good in that area (biology I was good at, but not physics and chemistry), and so when I say I disagree with relativity, take that with a grain of salt and remember I didn't go through the equations to actually disprove it. But I think logically it can be disproved. Relativity argues that there is invariance in inertial frames, I think the only invariance exists in our minds... kind of like the US measures in inches but everyone else does meters/centimeters. There is still an absolute value, we just see it differently. If the theory of relativity stated that, I would agree, but no it just says "everything is relative regardless of our perceptions" (at least from my understanding), but you can argue that I'm being picky with semantics.<br /><br />I don't think your mom has to see her delusions as a "problem" in order to "get better" (though I don't think she needs to "get better" like she's mentally illl based on your reading, I just think she needs to mature a bit). There are many philosophical psychiatrists/psychologists who gave me the idea that individuals "talking to one's self" and "delusions" are in more balanced mental states, it just so happens society doesn't accept that. In the same way, I don't think depression is a mental illness the way they diagnose it, as if grieving or sadness is unnatural and should be eradicated.Leilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04490635107983302531noreply@blogger.com
