Which could just mean the human mind is so low quality that it can't perceive anything in the actual universe more complicated than itself. That's my personal preferred answer to the Fermi Paradox: Our biology is just so lo-fi that we're completely oblivious to shit tons of interesting and highly complex phenomena and alien lifeforms, like what an ant's known universe would be compared to what we perceive as our known universe.

>>The universe is understandable and the man succeeded, without instructions, to understand it
I never thought about this before, it does seem to be truly remarkable now that I think about it. A whole myriad of philosophical implications just from this one thought.
Obviously the obtuse will want to point out that we can't understand the universe "fully" yet. But that misses the point. We do understand a lot, and it's not kiddy stuff, very sophisticated science. And the fact that we can do this, regardless of whether or not we need advanced computers to command this knowledge, is interesting.

L-form bacteria are actually pleomorphic organisms.

Low intensity RF and UV can control many aspects of cell function, and destroy microorganisms.

Cells generate pulses of light with greater coherence than any laser we've yet created, and modulate the state of their neighbors. Therein, they are coupled oscillators. We think like mechanics, and treat disease like medieval plague doctors going after witchcraft.

"Quackery" and the later "evidence based medicine" were used by a specific subset of medicine in the early 1900's to solidify their healthcare monopoly. This is made obvious by people like Morris Fishbein and the early history of the AMA, et al. The release of sperm causing disease was also a prime concern at the time.

This is true only if the probability of its existence given that there is no evidence for it is equal to the probability of its existence given that there IS evidence for it.

A = the thing is real
B = there is evidence for it
~B = there is not evidence for it

If P(A | B) = P(A | ~B), then your statement is correct.

But that isn't always the case. For example, given you are covered in spots, the probability of you having measles is higher than the probability of you having measles given that you are not covered in spots.

S = You are covered in spots
~S = You are not covered in spots
M = You have measles
~M = You don't have measles

Can we agree that:
P(M | S) > P(M | ~S)

If you do not have spots, isn't that evidence that you don't have measles? In which case absence of evidence IS evidence of absence. Sure, it might not be 100% proof of absence, but it IS evidence of it.

I'll do you one better:

The visual cortex requires use to develop. This is not just trivially true in the sense that you needs eyes for V1 to properly develop, but if you rear an animal in an unusual visual environment (say a small room with only black/white horizontal lines) they will forever be unable to see properly after the critical period because the simple cells will never properly develop in V1. Even very fundamental forms of processing require the proper environmental conditions to develop in the brain, in other words, there are no genes that simply structure V1, it's contingent on environmental factors.

Bonus: simple processing of contrast is performed on the retina before it even leaves the eyeball.

Bonus, bonus: Very few genes have changed that modify the development of the human brain compare to, say, a chimpanzee brain. As Changeux put it "The only special thing about the human brain is that it's so much bigger."

The laws of physics, would explain how things react as equations. (The program's equations for calculating reactions. Is run by the universe itself as time probably. The fastest speed of information is light at C)

Quantum mechanics, explains things existing as probability waves, if it's path isn't observed. (Rand number program with differing probabilities)
If the path is observed, then present information correlates with the path in past (something like RAM, runs the quantum rand number program).
We know that information in present dictates path in past, by deleting the information of the past after detecting it, without sharing it outside of the detector, which just showed a probability wave again. (Info deletion of things from the RAM to keep information under storage limit)

Meaning that there's equations explaining how things react, this is dealing with certainty, (physics) with initial variables based on another equation, calculating the placements of their material positioning, dealing in uncertainty (quantum mechanics) but becomes certainty with info about it, info can move at max the speed of light with light as signal. That's C is the speed of processing

Time does not require memory, it is a natural consequence due to the existence and presence of mass and energy. How so? Time is what allows us to observe changes in state. Without mass or quanta, there would be no "thing" to observe a change in. The underlying assumption that an observer's memory is required to verify time has passed already satisfies the condition that mass and energy exist in order for you to exist and observe.

It's not exactly that, though. Due to which we can see the even comfier outline of the sun on the edges, just that it's not blinding.

>All living things on Earth, without exception, have a common ancestor

Based on?
If life can come from some sort of primordial soup, then it's very much possible there are multiple ancestors.

>Giant dinosaurs was a thing

Name one living thing that ever existed bigger than a Blue Whale.
Also the Sperm Whale is one of the largest predators of all time.

>space-time will also be expanding faster than the speed of light so no interaction between particles will be possible anyway

I wonder what would happen to the fundamental particles if this process continued indefinitely, such that space-time and therefore the "inert" particles themselves are expanding at c^c^c^c^c^c^c.

With no way for one "inert" particle to interact with any other, would the almost infinitely rapid expansion of the unit itself be comparable to the expansion of our universe from the moment of "inception"?

photons do not experience the passage of time, from their perspective they are emitted from their source and reach their terminus simletanously
