(things) would/could be based on our comprehension of what a/that thing is.
Agree or disagree?
In our state of being: the thought process perceives things by definiton as a noun-person, place or... thing.
So our limited senses in our world couldn't determine every thing- in terms of how they exist. IMO.
There will be an infinte number of Greenbeanz and an infinte number of Andre and an infinte number of Fenster.
Would Fenster or Andre exist with the same dimensions? Hearing, seeing, touching, feeling are senses. How energy transmits and infiltrates matter seems infinite--in the scheme of determining that which is infinite.
So if Andre had an omelette at 7:28 a.m., but in a parallel existence (another) Andre had that very same omelette at 7:31 --we'd (also) have to reflect on what time is...would we not?
Time for me is the acknowlegement of concisousness on a moving celestial body. When that body (planet) moves toward a ball of gas (star/sun) we acknowldege it as light calling it day. When it moves away, we call it darkness (night).
My point is, the size of that moving celestial body(planet) and the magnetism and gravity from that particular ball of fire-would then determine how fast/slow of the movement. So it would seem an infinite number of possibilites of determining the (time) that would occur, let alone if the dimensions would exist that allows two Andre's to be able to eat, taste, touch, or feel. Those are senses within our dimensions. What may take what we call 5 minutes to eat on our moving celestial body(earth) may take 222years on another moving celestial body.
So could there technically ever be two Andres or Greenbeans with the same senses?
Sinse the universe is so infinite- the chances of finding An Andre or Greenbeen could exist, but with the same dimensions would seem minute. Moving at the same rate, and having the same perception, also seems minute...like a snowflake. If no two are exactly alike on this tiny ass pebble of a planet, then what are the chances of an exact CARBON copy of you or me? Not saying I know, but swimming into deep waters with you bro..:cool:
You have made so many stimulating points that I cannot decide which one to respond to. To me (I will only address your last point here) infinity trumps all things since by definition it is endless. It never stops. And IMO as minutely probable as it would be (as you rightly indicated) to be able to come across a 99.99999765% exact replica of Hitler (only differing, say, in how many times Hitler blinked on April 29, 1945) I feel that since the universe (and there's ANOTHER issue---are there multiple universes?) Goes on forever (that is ALSO questionablquestionable) then if so, we would simply have to be ( thru the probability of an infinitely occurring sequence) replicated or resurrected (without getting religious here) over and over again, in varying degrees of exactitude: @
Andre. On one May 23rd, 1913 in Oslo, Andre says "how perfumey are the blossoms", while on another IDENTICAL MAY 23, 1913 Andre says "how perfume-like are the blossoms", etc.
