Dear Alfredo,,

I think a fairer method of scoring would be if each essay contestant had to list from 1 to 5, the five other essays he or she thought were the best in the completion. The winner would then have an aggregate superiority, rather than a distorted averaged number as happens now. My problem is that most of the essays I have read are far better written than mine. I am hoping that the judges will judge my essay on the originality of its expressed idea of nature only being capable of furnishing a reality that could be understood by all creatures.

All the best to you.

Dear Joe Fisher,

Thank you for visiting my essay and saying it is nice. I have downloaded your essay and will be reading it next week. We have communicated before in a past essay contest. I need to look at your position again. I remember that our approaches were different. I will see. Best wishes to you.

Dear Joe,

I am inspired by your deep criticism and enthusiasm for promoting the idea of simplicity of complexity (reality). I think that only the deepest criticism of the philosophical foundations of modern "fundamental science" will make it possible to overcome the crisis of understanding and "trouble with physics" (Lee Smolin) and build a model of the Universum that is uniform for physicists and lyricists , filled with the meanings of the "LifiWorld" (E. Husserl ). My high score for the promotion of the principle of simplicity.

Yours faithfully,

Vladimir

    Dear Vladimir,

    Joe,

    I don't quite follow all that you say, but I know what you're trying to say. Your message has no less merit than many of the essays presented here carrying much better ratings. Good luck to you.

    Bill.

      Dear Bill,

      Thank you ever so much for reading my essay, and for leaving such a kind, positive comment about its merit.

      Dear Joe Fisher, I think you did not see my answer:

      "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." That's my intention, indeed, with the essay. In this case, I deal with the problems dealt with the cornerstones of evolution, mainly the beginning, the origin. The proposal for chemical clocks is quite complicated in itself, as you can check in the additional notes and references. All you can do is approximate set of approximate chemical equations, which describe quite well the mechanism, but secondary products might be left out. I also made some simplified arguments using arrows on section 2, in order to show how to deal with the most important operators or regulators of the reaction.

      The problem it is that the usual programs are extremely complicated and do not have a realistic expectation of a path from "primitive soup" to a cell. So, as you can see in the abstract, what I propose is more in the direction of an invitation to a new experimental program.

        Dear Daniel,

        I read both of your very complicated comments and I am somewhat disheartened that you seem not to have any understanding of simplicity. You are not alone.

        I repeat:

        Only nature could produce a reality so simple, a single cell amoeba could deal with it.

        The real Universe must consist only of one unified visible infinite physical surface occurring in one infinite dimension, that am always illuminated by infinite non-surface light.

        Joe,

        I found your essay to be better reading than some essays of more highly credentialed people. I particularly like the following:

        "Men have never believed that Nature could ever produce a reality that was so simple, even single celled amoeba could deal with it."

        and

        "For some peculiar reason, scientists are convinced that their finite experiments in a laboratory are superior in the understanding of reality. They all fail to realize just how unnatural their activity is. Only nature can produce viable reality."

          Dear Lorraine,

          Thank you ever so much for reading my essay and for understanding it.

          joe,

          I stand in the middle of a crater with a bright laser on a fast rotating table. I spin up the table and turn on the laser. With my fantastic equipment the laser spot on the crater wall moves at warp 3 (three times the speed of light). Given that the laser light never moves from the surface of the laser how can the illuminated spot on the crater (a real surface) can move faster than light? Is the spot an object in motion or just my emotion?

          Thanks for your essay.

          Regards

          Marts

            Dear Marts,

            Thank you for reading my essay. Just as visible surface am infinite, the only physical way one can see any surface am because it am always illuminated by infinite non-surface light. Your equipment has a complete visible surface . You and the crater have complete visible surfaces. Only the laser light when it is activated does not have a surface. The laser light spot that appears on the crater wall surface remains the same no matter which surface it appears on.
