The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It occurs to me that ...

Existence is emergent within a boundless agglomeration of ephemeral quarks persistently hosting energy, matter, particles, planets, stars, galaxies, universe; all enabling complexification as organic evolution — for us humans culminating in experiences of sensation, recognition, anticipation, expression, remembrance.

Among other things, I'm struck by the difficulty of integrating classical physics within its virtually atemporal quantum underpinnings, as evidenced in a frustrating inability to account for gravity within quantum mechanics. Despite thorough confirmation of both theories, Quantum Field Theory remains unable to accommodate the gravitational basis of the spacetime environment that hosts our perceptual experience and that's foundational to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.

I regard it as a product of anthropic fixation upon the apparent persistence of spacetime within human experience, despite our ephemeral infinitesimal foundational entities.
