A Method to Measure Consciousness, and Demonstrations of Worldly Multiplicity by Tommy Gilbertson

Dear Sir,

Your comments above are full of grammatical mistakes and abusive language, which shows that you had lost temper and not in a proper frame of mind to think rationally. You had shown such hostility to others also who criticized you: such as Ms. Parry. But it is not going to help your cause. Please answer or refute the points raised by us with logic and proof and not by anger or repulsion. We dare to challenge falsehood - even if it comes from the most eminent of scientists. We are neither convinced nor affected by name dropping. Hence instead of quoting names please quote the theories and discuss the validity of those theories.

We stand by what we had written and are willing to prove it. We also have the courage and the humility to accept our mistakes, if we are wrong. Hence please cool down and reply to our points or admit your mistakes.

Nothing personal.

Regards,

Yes, apologies, my owm tone was probably un-called for there. And this is not a venue for vitriol but cooperation.

Minus the grammatical errors and hyperbole above, which I am going to chalk up to overtirednes, my threads stand with my replies unanwered...

Even though i regret my approach in the above threads, these are my answers to you challenges to my essay validity.

I for one thought it was a great essay. Didn't understand a lot of it, but reminded me of one of those rare short sf stories about future Imperial galactic encyclopedia entries. But real, kinda.

Dont' let em get you down Mr. Gilbertson, you have your supporters here and there.

As far as I could tell, the essay looked fine to me. I loved it!

my GoogleBot crawlers tell me alarming news. They came up with an idea to collect these threads in a book free for all eyes.

And then they did it on a hidden page, informing me after.

Fqxi, should I delete the book or change the meaning of QuantumWidgets.com to the Book of Foundational Q & A's for a day, so we can all read the Book for 24 hours lol? Or delete this page, but tis the creation of creations? Should I look at it first lol?

Makes you wonder what, exactly since they call it a book, the Bots interposed between the threads and how the ordered 'simultaneous" ones??? Right.

To delete or not delete. That is the question.

As always, in this particular universe, I'm absolutely kidddng around... All of the aforementioned is impossible at this time in this place.

don't try this at home

'That was me--not the bot.

Dear Tommy

I'm afraid I think I've now read the most pretentious and badly written essay in the competition, I was quite astonished to then come across yours to cheer me up again! What an excellent bit of work! It should definitely be accepted for the Pier Review I went to over Christmas, it was brilliant and has made my day. A top score coming up for TG. OK, Survival of mankind may be important (some think) but there are so many here who take themselves far to seriously and desperately need to loosen up.

I hope you'll read mine. It actually solves all the problems in physics in one hit, which I've just described in Phil Gibbs string by using speeding London Buses. Actually I really was run over by a speeding London bus once. Strange but true. But it's OK, as I've scientifically derived that there really IS life after death, and as soon as we die the next thing we know is that we're some other sentient being! I kid you not, honest injun! It also explains the axis of evil. Look here; http://vixra.org/abs/1102.0016 But it's all very green as someone else does the recycling when we're gone.

OK, essay first, and a top mark in return please as I'm being squeezed out by those who don't save a single race or galaxy let alone a whole universe! I'm really not kidding about the result. Someone needs to tell whoever's in charge because current physics is nonsense and this shows why. But it probably won't even get noticed. Hey ho!

If you read it please do it carefully and practice visualising multiple moving variables from different frames as most brains can't quite do that yet. Then you also have to recognise the enormous consequences. http://fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/803

I promise there are no sums.

Very Best wishes, and thank you.

Peter

PS. Did you know we've all already done the Star Trek 'Beam me up' thing!? I lie not, that's in the paper too, with photographic evidence, all logical conclusions of the solution in the essay. You will believe it. Do confirm and comment!

Dear Peter Jackson:

I pleasantly recognize your name from previous and look forward to checking out your essay. You also have supplied the most complementary take on my essay, yet. Thank you from the bootstraps up for your feedback. I'll Quietly hope at this point that others in the Community glance at your first paragraph above, which made my eyeballs tingle with joy...

And for having the courage to comment so late in the game and the positions are slowly setting in amber so to speak in the Contest ratings. Unlike some other authors who shall remain name-dropped-less, and secure and silent.

Therefore, I now have the confidence to state my own Theory about Everything: it's already here, right in front of u\s, in a disparte form, a connection in the data already

Dear Tommy,

It is indeed fascinating to explore the nature of consciousness, one of the greatest mysteries of science. I admire those willing to speculate about such frontier questions.

Best wishes,

Dear Tommy,

Energy quanta are a think of the past! We need "A World Without Quanta"! And you can make that critical difference to help bring it about. Cast your approval for a world that makes sense and bring this essay out of the cusp of 'being or not being'! The results are deeply significant and totally iconoclastic. But we need to bring this essay to the 'church' on time! You among others will be better for it!

All the best,

Constantinos

Dear Tommy,

It is great to see that your essay moved up in the final community rating! Your essay is a litmus test on several levels. One needs to read essays and comments from the beginning to get the full benefit. I chuckled all the way through, and I see it as a very intelligent work of observation and humor! My feeble mind realizes we need the debate this contest offers even with the crazy ideas and the observational ones like yours that let us laugh and think about logic. It all makes up a whole in looking for the gems.

Kind regards, Russell

This reminds me on the difficulties studying consciousness. You never know whose consciousness involve. It has been shown that measurements in paranormal expiriments scale down to - the research leader. The persons actually doing the experiment is not always so important, nor the distance.

I often think at Benvenistes tragedy. What did Randi really? As magician he certainly knew about this. What he must have been laughing at us. The memory is information,indeed.

I have an essay here too, about body-mind problem, topic 938. If you have time to read it, and comment, I would be happy. It is my first participation in contests like this.
