    To be honest with you... I wish one day I end up dying as Mishima (三島 由紀夫). His death and suicide was perfect and aesthetic. I don't know how to express myself but I have the same thought and feeling like him

    Again, propaganda. Don't follow the movement. Follow your own moves.Hillary

    I do, but I don't have my own personal origin of the universe hypothesis, So I happily, look to the experts.

    I think that the movement now is towards the idea that particles don't exist at all and its all about fields and field fluctuations/disturbances/excitations/perturbations etcuniverseness

    There are no "disturbances" or "perturbations" of fields. Only fluctuations or excitations. Fluctuations are virtual particles and excitations are real particles. Perturbations are used in calculating cross sections or scattering amplitudes. For bound states like protons, the perturbation approach can't be used. Discrete spacetime calculations in QCD are involved (Monte Carlo....). Took days, for a computer, to compute the spin of a proton!

    Many worlds just don't exist. So how can you assign them a credence level?Hillary

    By applying what I consider rational thought. The same reason why I have such a low credence level for the god posit, which you know fine well so you are just repeating the same music. A different dance may result in new insight. The same old dance just gives everyone tired feet which are getting older and older every time the same ground is pointlessly covered.

    It's easy: they seem to know what they talk about. They role play. That's why you are fooled by them... :grin:Hillary

    Not entirely out of the realm of possibility; in fact it's likelihood is > 50% and that's a conservative estimate vis-à-vis my abilities to recognize experts/authorities.

    But many worlds are an irrational thought, a believe... But you're free to think it! Don't get me wrong. If it gives you solace. The many worlds are just worlds, gods, of the gaps. Totally unnecessary if you know the truth.

    The multiverse is not a belief, it's a proposal based on projection of what we know, or think we know and in my opinion, it is much more viable than your personal polytheistic beliefs as a way of progressing towards the true facts about of the origin of the Universe we exist in. That does not mean you do not have the right to your beliefs in polytheism. I also have the right to completely disagree with them.
    We hold positions on atheism/theism which I think are unlikely to move one plank length in the foreseeable future.

    Its acceptance of the fact that I don't know for sure but I think your 'ignorance' word is too emotive and it has nothing at all to do with belief in the sense of faith.
