It’s clear this seems counterintuitive to idealized experience, but there isn’t a cosmos out there or ID in here. No independent view from no where to confirm an expanding universe out there. It’s definitely ok/normal to make such assumptions. Yet reality is the normal, consistent, mundane. #philsky
Could we be wrong about everything? | https://iai.tv/articles/evidence-the-universe-might-not-be-expanding-auid-2551

Tim Anderson argues that we must seek to reconcile this theory with observations that are consistent with a non-expanding universe.

This page would make a good jumping in point to dualism, as non-dual. However, in as far as examination goes, the first bit describes that there are “independent” bits that comprise reality. Yet, there is likely only non-dual being (of two) ever occurring. #philsci plato.stanford.edu/entries/dual...

The false vacuum suggests that the universe exists in an unstable energy state; what seems like “empty space” could collapse and destroy the universe. | https://bit.ly/470KJqo

Mathias Vogel says this it challenges science’s assumption that the laws of nature are constant and reliable.

In a typical retort to a _true origin of_ the answer is duality, a practiced mediation (or just "feeling in the zone") makes this clear. The examiner falls to the examined, the doer falls to the doing. It's not a moment of synchronization, it's an eternity of being, without breaks.

Unfortunately it’s not “just biology”. Conflict and distinction is the very fiber of being, of perception, of reality. I will say, the sooner we stop trying to make it something else, the sooner we can be more collaborative.

There aren’t “selves” in any independent way. There is multiplicity in singulars, a duality, top to bottom, as an everywhere to go between. #philsci

Humanity’s quest for a theory of everything drives much of science, but can we ever truly know the universe? | https://bit.ly/47gHJqU

Philosopher of science JB Manchak argues that even with all possible perspectives, it’s impossible to grasp the full structure of spacetime from within.

It means effortless action, or in different words, action without an independent doer. #philsci

In the same vain as non-duality means duality as the only thing occurring, without some other “independent, untouched sort of thing” causing it to happen.
Today's new installment in the Philosophy in China series: Non-Action in the Laozi (Daodejing)

The concept of wuwei or “non-action”: does it mean that the perfect sage or political ruler simply never does anything?
