Does reincarnation exist?

Also, before you sage this post; let's also discuss possible proofs or counterexamples for the existence and smoothness of the Navier-Stokes Equations, or anything else relative to hard science or pure mathematics you'd like to discuss.

>Does reincarnation exist?
Insufficient data. Given the fact that births outpace deaths, highly unlikely.

Given that our consciousness is a product of physical factors, even more unlikely.

Sage, because FUCK YOU.

Turbulence usually occurs below a Reynold's numbers of 3000. It causes increased energy loss (as heat), more drag (on the moving body), and generates sound wave (noise).

the universe knows how to incarnate you

whats stopping it from doing it again? God?

you might get reincarnated as something horrible, oh well

we don't know what the chances are, it might be a necessary feature of the universe to recreate minds, it might never do it, we dont know

but it did it once, so it has the tools to do it again, what the probability is, is unknown

given infinite time, it should happen again, forever...

it has never happened before, or least we have no evidence for it. Why would we live our lives assuming something to be true when there absolutely reason to do so?

the chances of it happening are the same chances of any other potentiality

There being absolutely no reason to do so is you assuming something to be true with absolutely no reason to do so.

>> No.3845469

>>3845444

how about the chances of it happening again are the same chances that it happened at all...

you can't figure out the probability, there is nothing stopping the universe from recycling minds indefinitely.

Not you or your God.

>> No.3845472

>>3845338
no

if you have to live until you are perfect, you will live endless lives never being perfect

if you could be perfect, someone would already have been perfect

it's a lie; there is no second chance

this is it

OP suggests talking about Fluid Dynamics alternatively, argue about reincarnation instead.

What's perfect? Only absolute nothingness is perfect. For every thing that exists, the opposite of it exists to bring it back to nothingness.

what you said was either alie or a simple tautology.


there is no reason to believe it. So i don't. the fact that I see no reason to believe is not me assuming something with no reason to do so. Mostly because I am not actually assuming anything at all. I'm not assuming it's true, I'm not assuming it's false. also the fact that i see no reason to believe at present cancels out the 'no reason to believe the assumption that there's no reason to believe it' bullshit you just said.

Eh... no.


I didn't assume it's false though. I just said I don't have reason to believe it's not false. Give me a reason and I'll believe it's true

That would mean that if I assumed reincarnation was false, i would also be assuming it's converse (reincarnation between true) is true.

wow talk about conflicted
