Same Ship Theseus

Ship of Theseus: If all the parts of a ship are changed, will it remain the same ship? - A question on identity and change. The question is of philosophy, not fundamental physics. same as the question of free will, which is of philosophy, not fundamental p hysics. But do these questions hold authenticity if answered through the philosophical means of physics? Well, by the sheer biological process, you and I are not the men we used to be a year ago. Not physically, because every cell has been replaced by the body itself. A new body created by the old body! A process of which you are not even aware and which continues throughout life.

Also, not emotionally, since you have accumulated new ways, experiences, and new means of understanding the world, society, and reality around you. So does all this mean that  you are not you but another vers...

The Greatest Expansion Part-2

A question that has always created a lot of misconceptions among the lay people is that according to our current scientific understanding, no part of matter or matter itself can travel in or through space at the speed of light. But how can the universe itself expand faster than the speed of light aka FTL? How does it gain this ability to be FTL without breaking the known cornerstone of natural principles? The question is simple, but the answer is difficult in itself to understand. Because   The universe is not a matter or particle, hence it is not restricted to expansion up to the relativistic limit. I will, from this point on, try to explain it so one even without a degree in STEM will be able to comprehend this idea of FTL expansion of the universe. Speed ​​Limit of Universe: 2.99792458×10^8 m/sec is limited to matter, particles and their related information (such as momentum, position, energy, wave function etc.) The universe is not matter, it is a dynamic entity in itself whic...
