thefunkyfaz 51 Posted October 8, 2013 Don't think he's going anywhere soon (hopefully) but apparently Tom Hanks has just been diagnosed with Type II diabetes, which has been lurking in his system for 20 years. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2449508/Tom-Hanks-reveals-Type-2-Diabetes.html He'd better start being careful if life really is like a box of chocolates... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kenan Posted October 25, 2013 He will be Terminally Sleepless in Hollywood the next few months. I doubt he will attend any Bachelor Parties or want to Splash down on the beach worrying about his Oscar chances for his performance Captain Phillips. If his band of brothers in the academy vote for him because of that thing he do, he will be in a league of his own among male actors as a 3 time Oscar winner.

If his band of brothers in the academy vote for him because of that thing he do, he will be in a league of his own among male actors as a 3 time Oscar winner. Daniel Day-Lewis is the first actor with 3 Academy Awards for Best Actor (My left foot; There will be blood; Lincoln). Other 3 time Oscar winners (actors) are Jack Nicholson (2 Best Actor, 1 Supporting Actor) and Walter Brennan (3 Supporting Actor-Awards). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Einstein proved 100 years ago that space and time are nothing but components of a 4-dimensional mathematical continuum. Thus both space and time are illusions. In the end there's nothing that can do anyone in. That's because all that exists is the immortal quantum wave function - as the Nobel laureate Edwin Schrodinger and some later physicists have pointed out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or what bladan said if he doesn’t exist? You don’t have to answer that of course, I don’t exist either. A very good question. I hate thinking and especially writing but I'll try. You and me and Plato and other manifestations of ego-consciousness exist only as components of the Matrix, or the walrus, as Lennon put it - the quantum wave function - the Father, which is the only subject in Buddhist and Vedic thought. "I am he as you are he as you are me And we are all together" The only fundamental ontology (i.e. all that exists) is the universal wave function evolving in a deterministic way without action at a distance. https://arxiv.org/abs/1602.05025 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bladan 293 Posted October 14, 2018 All that exists is the universal wave function. Neither you nor Bladan does exist. Plato didn't exist. But they all do exist as subcomponents of the universal quantum wave function. If you disagree, please point out Prof Vaidman's mistake. He's one of the leading physicists on the planet but surely you can do better. Here's the link again: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1602.05025.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
