The form of energy that any energy is at any given point in time is like a standing domino ready to be knocked over as it leans into the next domino which is the next form it will be transferred into from photons to electrical human thought. There is no way around this effect not even in the mind of a theoretical physicist's thinking in terms of quantum physics.
Actually that's where you're completely wrong. It's not like a "domino effect", it's more like the addition of probabilities or the addition of wave forms as the dominoes contact each other. This is established by the fact that fundamental particles such as photons and electrons can produce interference patterns, that is conclusive proof that reality is based on particle-waves which have no certain position, their position is 'smeared' out in a cloud of probable positions. When you try to observe their exact position you collapse the wave function, and this is not something you can debate with me, because this is the very basics of quantum mechanics and there are countless experiments and observations which prove this to be a fact of reality.
Trust me, scientists didn't like this stuff either when they first learnt about it because it meant the system of reality was not a completely deterministic mechanical device which could be predicted at every single state, including future states (being able to predict the future with math simply violates too many conditions of reality)... but they had not other choice because the data cannot be denied... if it wasn't for quantum mechanics your computer wouldn't even work because semi-conductors wouldn't work. Even the electrons in atoms are not in one position, they are in a standing wave state around the nucleus at discrete energy levels... if this weren't true then the known elements would not have their signature photon emission spectrum associated with the energy levels in each atom measured when the electrons undergo a "quantum leap" between each energy level and release photons.
You can't introduce new energy into the Universe nor destroy existing energy, exiting it somehow
Yes you can actually create and destroy energy, even Hawking now believes the energy for the Universe came from 'nothing'. If you don't believe that then I would like to hear you idea of where it came from... let me guess, it was here all along right?
Okay, you win. Whatever you want to believe. Have a nice life.
Why is such a space a impossibility?
I would really like to know that.
If you studied every nuanced move i made throughout my whole life.... could you predict when i would scratch my butt? ( even if i just wanted to for fun,, didnt even have an itch)

Well it just seems completely illogical to me. How can anything ever happen in a space with no time? That's even more absurd than trying to suggest things will happen (fluctuations) in empty space-time. Time is something which I believe is so fundamental to reality that is simply can't be removed from the equation, lest you decompile reality all together.

He would argue that it's possible because your brain activity is completely deterministic, derived from past events and set to "fall like dominoes" into future events without any if's or but's about it.edit on 7-6-2012 by ChaoticOrder because: (no reason given)

Technically, you can have a space with no temporal dimension. But it's really just a mathematical model rather than any sort of conceivable scenario. Just like having multiple temporal dimensions.

to me you are just saying,,, everything that happens happens.......
and i am saying some of those things that happen, are random,,,, meaning they could not be predicted..... i.e. an accurate plotting of the flight of a butterfly over the span of an hour ..edit on 7-6-2012 by ImaFungi because: (no reason given)

If we plot time backwards. Where would you find randomness?
You wouldn't find it anywhere in time or space. Because the universe we live in is a one time event. What you people are doing is inflating theory with nonsense.edit on 27.06.08 by spy66 because: (no reason given)

ok so if randomness doesnt exist,,,, your saying i am misinterpreting randomness,, as the lack of data for a cause? nothing is random because everything that happens, is caused by something to happen, so nothing is random? thats what your saying?

ok explain,,,, i thought it had something to do with probability,,,, i understand most if not all inanimate material in the universe is governed by laws,, which is pretty deterministicly, the revolution and rotation of planets......
but the points i were making were about how life exactly defies this....
by being able to perform unpredictable activities... if the universe or anything can not predict what will happen in a future given situation, how can that situation have been determined to happen ( besides the fact that it happened, which is hindsight is 20/20 only one outcome could have happened, duh)
your playing baseball,,,,, your in the outfield and ball is popped up towards you......... is the event that follows predictably deterministic? or your saying that no matter what happens,, if we were to go back in time and review the situation, we could slow down time and view every quantom interaction and a micronsecond before the event we were suppose to predict occurs, we will know what will happen? to me thats the same as knowing what happens as it happens.......
so ball is hit to you..... how can what will transpire next be predictable? you can run 5 steps to the right,, you can trip, you can pull down your pants, you can catch the ball, you can miss,, you can run home,, you can kill yourself,, you can fall asleep....

Ok lets talk about predetermination this would naturally mean the cycle plays over and over because its predetermined.Now if that were true there had to be an original cause or an original big bang to get all this universe started.So if we move this to the next logical step something random had to occur to set this cycle in motion.and if it occurred once it could occur again.This in itself would prove predetermination is impossible.
Then there is the speed of light limit itself this proves there is no predetermination.If everything in the universe was predetermined to the universe all times would exist at the same time.Everything that has happened will happen has already occurred.Now if that were true we could actually see things moving backwards though time.we would see objects moving faster then the speed of light there wouldnt be the universal speed limit at all.
