Bumping so other people can find out about that cool reaction trainer site

Logic makes 1st law of thermo(dynamics) wrong.

1st law of thermodynamics is conservation of matter and energy.

That however forces the universe to of existed forever, but that is impossible.

We could not be alive right now if our past was infinite because we'd be waiting on an infinite number of time periods to pass which will never happen.

State your disagreements coherently please.

You guys are not the shit, anybody in this thread could get the scores you're getting, but it would take them a long time, and by that time you will of probably improved even more, so nobody whose not on your level now will ever catch up to you if you keep the intense gaming schedule alive.

The reason you're reacting fast isn't because you were born better, but because you've been training your reaction indirectly all this time through FPSs. I'm willing to wager U.S. money on the fact that before you started playing FPSs, you reaction time was above a fifth of a second.

also remember this is not a reaction time TESTER, it's a reaction time TRAINER. Yes it tests your reaction speed, but it's main goal is to give you an opportunity to learn how to react faster by using your brain more efficiently. And such mental improvements will also be noticed in your intellect, iQ, speed to recall facts, and delay the onset of dementia.

I can't believe nobody mentioned this.

"No. That's really not enough."

There's a pretty good correlation between intelligence and reaction time. Yeah...

Cause the former certainly doesn't automatically mean the latter.

The brain is a muscle, enough said.

Thanks mang!

no problem... all I can say is stick with it, and you'll see if it helps out not only your reaction time, but your iQ too.

It becomes even cooler when you notice that you're getting more focused, concentrated, and thought-oriented. My reaction times are decreasing now to an average of .20s and my iQ is going up.

It makes you think faster which'll help if you ever intend of driving a car. You can also solve problems faster and your iQ goes up. All being smart means that you have a faster coughprocessorcough brain. Sure it doesn't help your ability to retain facts, but if you study the facts, a faster brain will help you remember them faster and more of them in a short period of time. 1 hundreth of a second faster for every synapse that occurs in your brain becomes incredibly significant when you're trying to solve problems lasting 13-15 seconds or more. The effect just multiplies its help for anything that takes more than 1 hundredth of a second to think of.

At first I would get on average .230ish

Now I consistently get .220ish

and i've only been doing this for a couple of days!

It's really helping, and although it's small now, I think I can still get my average down to just a little above my best if not my best.

Try it out and tell me what you think.

oh yeah and sorry to bump my own thread but I genuinely forgot to mention that the reaction time increases are PERMANENT, at least for me they are.

This is a statistic, you may not be the one driving, but most likely you will encounter some type of situation of near-crash in your lifetime. The difference between life or death will most likely be within a fraction of a second. Here's how to improve your reaction time for that potential moment.

Reaction time tester. Hyperventilate and you will react faster. Meaning, start breathing in and outside of your nose and double the speed of your regular breathing. You don't have to thank me, it's via my philosophy that I'm obligated to help whenever possible. Not doing it for you, I'm doing it because that's what my philosophy tells me to do. I could care less if you live or die, my philosophy is a little more on the empathetic side.

Debate, if you can do so reasonably. ( You're welcome to insult & ignore me and my hypotheses but you might want to know that that doesn't make you right. All because you think you're right doesn't mean you are. Trust me, I know that better than anyone else.

Lesser beings don't have a curiosity for such things either out of ignorance, uninformdness, or religion i.e. the belief that they already know.

If so would you care to know:

Assume that whoever is going to tell you the answers to these questions knows the correct answer.

1) What will happen to you as a consciousness after death

2) How the universe came to exist and if it always existed

and...

3) What the goal for all beings should be

?

"I Know The Goal For All But Do You?" Isn't the exactly the right way to state it but it's a more effective title for getting people to look at this thread even though "I Know What The Goal For All Should be" would've been a more accurate description of what this thread entails.

Also the fact that anybody can have a goal and I don't have telekinesis so I don't know what each individual's goal is. Nonetheless, "What should be the goal for all?" is a much more important question than simply asking what anyone or even everyone's goal is.

What should be the goal for all?

To stop as much suffering as possible, and then to promote as much enjoyment as possible.

"Why do we have to stop as much suffering as possible before we promote as much enjoyment as possible?" People can tolerate enjoying themselves, but people cannot tolerate suffering.

"Why should I have to stop as much suffering as possible for beings I don't even know?" Imagine if you were the person suffering.

That's all the questions I could think of, so now post and ask your own questions.

I happen to know the answer to the three most important questions, they are "How did the universe come to exist and did it always exist?", "What should be the goal for all?", and the special scientific one of "What happens after death?". Two of these questions can be answered without anything but bare reasoning, but the death question, however, is only answerable as a result of facts gained through scientific study. That is why I'm focusing the point of this thread to be on the death question.

Before, I didn't use links to certify my statements, I didn't explain my statements in a clear and understandable form, and I assumed that whatever I typed was going to be right. As a result of learning from trial & error, I will now present my hypothesis on what happens after death with the intention and the hope of others rigorously analyzing and constructively criticizing it's nonsensical parts. Now, without further ado, please allow me to present my argument.

What happens after Death~The Finale

The universe is roughly 14 billion years old. The possibility for basic lifeforms to form naturally under ideal conditions and within 100 billion years is at least 1 in 10 to the 67th power. This proves it to be unreasonable to believe that this current universe is the only one that has ever existed since it contains lifeforms that should need much more time to develop than the universe's age has allowed.

This strongly suggests that this current instance of our universe is not the first one and there's no good reason to believe that it will be the last. Therefore, there is still a lot of time, if not an infinite amount of time, for life to develop again.

Now, I think I know what you're thinking, how does all of the above relate to what happens after death. Well, you're conscious right now. So therefore consciousness is a possibility because otherwise you couldn't be conscious right now. It doesn't matter how you are conscious, just the fact that it's possible is enough because given infinite time, all possibilities will almost surely happen again.

So since it's obvious that the universe has had many instances of itself previous to the one we are currently living in, that also means that it most likely will have many instances of itself after the one we are currently living in. Furthermore, since for the most part, energy & matter is conserved, never increasing or decreasing, whatever it is that allows you to be conscious, will be there in the next universe, and the universe after that, and so on ad nauseam.

So, your consciousness arising will always be a possibility, and as a result of the fact that you won't be waiting to be consciousness again since you're not alive, as soon as you die you will be instantly placed in the moment in time when you are consciousness again.

Alright, let us perfect this hypothesis so give me all your constructive criticisms.

You are conscious so consciousness is possible. Given infinite time, all possibilities have a 99.99..% (repeating) chance of happening. As a result, when you die, it's "almost certain", in the mathematically meaning of the phrase, that you will be conscious again.

Fun Fact: It is incredibly unlikely for life to evolve up to human-like beings, especially considering the universe is only around 14 billion years old. This very strongly suggests that there were many universes capable of supporting life way before ours would reach that stage. So, that allows us to extrapolate that when this universe is no more, another one will replace it, and when that one is done, ....well, I think you get the picture by now, lol.

No shit. That's because infinity doesn't end.

So, the universe or whatever you want to call it must have some sort of beginning.

Ya sure about that there?

Now, I want you all to figure out what happens after death, hint: there are two answers for this question.

1. Nothing.
2. Something.

Why wouldn't I be sure of the universe having a beginning? Also, you're right, about the "nothing" or "something" answer but please be more specific as to your reasoning to get to that conclusion. Knowing that the universe has a beginning, knowing either something or nothing happens after death, and knowing what the goal for all should be are actually incredibly easy questions, but for some reason people don't seem to be aware of these very obvious answers, which is why proving your answers are correct is necessary.

Or are you saying that it was just suddenly there? Without any reason? Poof.. and the universe was born.

MH16, that's the only answer left. Something must've came from nothing or else this universe couldn't exist because an infinite past isn't possible. Think about it bro, com'n man you're smarter than that.

At 10/17/09 04:17 PM, MonkeyV wrote: One unit of time may be infinitely small, but there are an infinite amount of them between each human-recognizable moment.
Also, human reasoning does not decide how time or the universe works. We merely observe.

Look, there are only two possible options for the beginning of the unvierse. Either it happened an infinite amount of time ago, or it happened a finite amount of time ago. I've already proved that the infinite option is not only illogical, but impossible.

You're right, human reasoning doesn't decide how "time or the universe works", but it can show you, at least in this case, whether the universe or whatever you want to call it, had a beginning or not. As can be seen by my op, the universe doesn't have an infinite past before us.

After death your existence ends, at least your existence as a human does.

Ahh, I misphrased the question, I apologize. What I meant to ask was what are the two possible outcomes for your consciousness after death?

I use the consciousness word loosely here.

An infinite past is impossible because than there can be no present. Thus, because we are actively realizing time, there couldn't of been an infinite number of events before us, since we could never actually realize time because we'd be waiting for a past without an end to finish. It's like me saying I'll post this thread once an infinite amount of time passes. This thread will never be posted.

So, the universe or whatever you want to call it must have some sort of beginning.

That is how you prove, with bare reasoning and without the help of scientific study, that the universe had a beginning.

Now, I want you all to figure out what happens after death, hint: there are two answers for this question.

Remember, you must refrain from using any scientific study and just, with bare reasoning alone, tackle this colossal giant. Good luck.

Anybody can say "We don't know yet.", "We aren't scientists.", or "It's impossible to tell.". I don't want those useless replies, I want replies that show someone is actually seriously considering the question and coming up with a decent hypothesis. Now give me your opinion please.

I forgot to add this: Answer the question without using anything but reasoning. It's possible, I've already figured out how, I want to see who else can.

an end to what? Existence? I can't prove on reasoning alone whether there would be an end to existence or not, it would require scientific study. It is possible, however, to prove only with reasoning, whether existence had a beginning or not.

The life you're living in causes you to suffer. Death is an awesomely amazing utility that scales infinity in an infinitesimal amount of time, meaning that you are revived into another life with a most likely better situation.
