小宇宙大爆炸 4

Arthur Schopenhauer claimed that phenomena have no free will, but the will as noumenon is free.

— Wikipedia on Free will

Man can do what he wills but he cannot will what he wills.

On The Freedom Of The Will (1839)

— Arthur Schopenhauer

A will itself cannot be willed because it is the first cause of a causal chain. A first cause is a starting point. Anything can be willed would not be a first cause.

電流電壓 2

這段改編自 2010 年 6 月 8 日的對話。

(CPK:那樣,這一點的 voltage 數值是什麼?)

你要小心一點。Voltage(電壓)在這裡是指 potential difference(電勢差)。有兩點的 potential 數值,才會有所謂「difference」。所以,你問「這一點」voltage 數值是什麼,是沒有意思的,除非在事前已經設定好參考點,即是 ground(接地點)。

你應該問,甲點和乙點之間的 voltage 是什麼?又或者,甲乙兩點之中,哪一點的 potential 高一點?

Godel 4.2

Paradox 8.2

Godel’s Incompleteness Theorems are anti-self-reference:

For any formal system strong enough to include the system of arithmetic, to prove its consistency, you need a stronger system.
