Let's take child soldiers as a example. Who is to blame there, the children forced to soldier or those adults forcing them into a inhuman mold? Those adults are not only destroying their own humanity, but also the children's. And I'm not prepared to understand those adults, there's a limit to it.

The problem, as I see it, is that there is enough having a very little percentage of this kind of adults, to effect changes that will involve many. One can always argue that those adults may have had a terrible upbringing themselves, and it might even be correct. But we all have ethics, well, most of us do. Another thing is that the free market always seem available to this kind of actions, as long as there is a profit, and 'deniability', available for it.

Been thinking of logics. There are different kinds of logic but they all build on premises. Ones preconceptions as it might be expressed. Accepting this you then have to decide whose preconceptions make the most sense to you. People seems to think that because we can find some logic to a situation it then make it more acceptable, or even 'right'. But you can in reality twist together some logic defending whatever premise you want to argue. Statistics is a very good choice for arguing a logic, but to make the statistics unquestionable you need to build it on experiments, not your faith in whatever beliefs you might hold for the moment.
On the other tentacle, there is ethics to everything, and honor.

It's sort of scary, isn't it? Very little of how we expect life to be seems to be correct. And we hide behind other peoples logics instead of making our own. To grow up is to use your mind yourself, not get a new suit, to fit some others idea of how life 'is'.

and yes, it's about physics, in the end. Because it is there, and in philosophy and mathematics, you will find the clearest tries for defining what a logic should be. But as I like physics myself, I will define it such as it is statistics, from whatever experiments you can imagine up, that will decide the logic that creates us.
On the other tentacle, we also need to acknowledge that life is more than just ones logics, it's also about faith, loyalty, friendships, love, and finally, that last breathless moment, whatever ethics you lived by.

And as those build from life, they are here, for us. Would they exist without life? I don't know, sometimes I think that we are the universe, looking at ourselves.

Now, if that would be true
wouldn't that make your life, and the way you live, and act, your ethics, the most precious definition of what a universe will be.
Which universe do you want to live in?

And naturally, as I think I should be able to give those 'intangibles' a logic too
And if we can, then it also must be part of this universe we exist in. It means that you need more than entropy to describe it, if so. A universe with only entropy acting could do just as well without this 'life'. Unless we expect it to need a 'conscious observer' to be able to exist? Do we? Entropy is not enough, to me that is.

Realized I needed to add 'conscious', as my own definition of a observer is that any interaction measured, should consist of 'observers'. But one more common seems to assume that consciousness is the definer of what is 'observed'.

You know, Pete is perfectly correct in defining it as a blog. I agree, then again, it's a blog about things I don't understand. Yeah, I know, it seems as if I understand some things, but really, I don't
Because my universe becomes a projection. And I have no answer to why it is this way. the only thing I think I will lean to is just those ethics.
They are what we might become, if we don't I'm sure the universe will make a new try

You could naturally assume that we already are 'enlightened', as per Feynman's 'many paths' and that timeless pause that it includes before a outcome. I won't agree to that for several reasons. the simplest becoming that for you and me time do exist. so, ignore that on your peril.

And to me it connects to the idea of mankind becoming 'caretakers', not 'conquerors'. Don't know what you liked as you lived your life, but looking back I think I always was partial to surprises, things that made me smile, and love. the stuff that made life a place to be.

Some have only hate, that's a very heavy feeling. there should be something more to life.
Don't you agree?
I think you do

And just to add to the mess I've may made
The naked Scientist makes a very special place, for us all, and I'm happy to have been a part of it.
we might not be perfect, or even correct, but we're at least interesting to read
And we're what we make of it. Nations ignored.

So, can you use constants to define ftl (faster than light)?
sure, no problem. Make a sheet, use a narrow light source and move it under that sheet. the further away the sheet is the faster that light will seem to move, for someone existing 'in' that sheet. Don't think you need to break any constants for it, just use 'dimensions' imaginatively.
But there is one restriction to it, if we want clocks and rulers making sense, our causality, as described 'seamlessly universally'. You must restrict useful information.

You don't even need motion for it. No propagating light source at all, lightening up that 'sheet'. You need 'change' though

Looked at that way, a universe suddenly becomes much more interesting, doesn't it

Change defined as motion, I've always liked that one. It makes so much sense, when thinking of relative motion.

But it becomes a very different universe from what you thought it to be. Any movement by you, you stretching out that arm to get yourself the mug of coffee, will then be described in terms of a field changing. Coordinates changing state.

The fields 'depth' or 'dimensionality' defined by the coordinates relations to each other. No external ('objectively' existing) 'room' necessary for it, as they are created from you, living 'inside' it, just as me. In fact, you don't need 'objectivity' as some archetype, or original mold, for it.
Don't you like it?
I do.
