Existence can only unfold in a time and space continuum. True or false?

Nice question. To start with, what other continuum do we have? Or we know? This hypothetical question could be answered by a hypothetical assumption. And if we have any other continuum to our knowledge, what do we know of existence? We can't even know surely what in us exist in what continuum, granting that there is such continuum. There is a debate among the scientific circle about the human brain.


And that's only a part of us.


Is thought or thinking a function of the brain? Does it occur in the brain? Then what is mind? Is mind outside the brain?


Does mind exist in the other continuum? What continnum? Which continuum? Is there any? These things now border on the Paraphysical. Scientists, Theologians, Theosophists, Occultists and anyone who bothers to stop and think of ';being'; has nothing but more questions than answers. Philosophers of old pondered on the ';self'; and/or existence.


What do you think? Your guess will just be as good as mine.Existence can only unfold in a time and space continuum. True or false?
True, assuming you mean existence in our universe. Our time and space continuum (our universe) probably exists surrounded by nothing, or at least, a system that in relation to our existence is really messed up and not at all like what we experience and totally uninhabitable.Existence can only unfold in a time and space continuum. True or false?
False. The time-space continuum includes time already. Therefore ';existence'; can not ';unfold'; in it. Unfolding is a process that takes time.





Analogy: the road outside my house is said to ';go'; to Chicago. But the road doesn't move, it doesn't really ';go'; anywhere. It just sits there. It's is just a feature of the English language that we say that roads ';go'; to places.





In a similar way, existence just ';is'; in the T-S continuum. It just sits there. It does not literally ';unfold';, ';develop';, ';evolve'; or any other word like that. In the T-S continuum, yesterday, now, and tomorrow have the same status. They are are equally there in the continuum.





(Which leads to a discussion of free-will versus predestination ....)
I'm not sure what the answer is. Existence might include non-pseudo-Reimannian manifolds.





Consider a universe far into heat death, say 200 proton half-lives past the evaporation of the universe's largest black hole, where space has no meaning because no place is special, where time doesn't exist because nothing special ever changes, and in which the only events are quantum vacuum fluctuations, which do change, but without purpose or effect. What might a quantum vacuum fluctuation observe, if it were an observer? Nothing special.





But it had a past, you say? HOW CAN YOU TELL? What evidence would you have to show that things had not always been like this? None.





Of course, one of the things a universe this far into heat death doesn't have, by definition, is observers. So does existence require observers?





So a better question is where can Quality Existence be found? Fun, etc.
Material existence: yes. Spiritual existence: no.
This depends upon which definition of exist is used. If numbers are part of the set of things which exist, false.
Without space-time there is nothing True.
we have no different kind of universe to compare to, so we have no idea.
maybe


do my thoughts exist in space?


does god exist only in space and time?
true
