Reality is absolute, our understanding or perception of reality is not.

Luckybit is that what you meant?

Reality is not absolute. Reality is a matter of probabilities. Nothing is absolute.

Are you absolutely sure that nothing is absolute?

We aren't absolutely certain about whether this universe is the real one or some virtualized simulation running on a multiverse computer. We don't know if the universe is a hologram or not.

We don't know if the universe is "real" or not because our only means of determining what is or isn't real is very limited. We basically use math and logic to try to determine what is or isn't real, and ultimately the only reason something is real is because the probability of it being fake is statistically not likely. The concept of real and fake, and trying to determine what is real in the absolutely sense of the word, is something which you cannot prove.

You ultimately end up relying on perceptions, on mathematics, on logic, but you don't have the kind of certainty that is absolute.

What you have said above is reliant on perceptions, mathematics, and logic. I suppose you believe that to be absolutely true. Or do you not?

Truth is absolute, our perception of truth i not. The world is the way it is, regardless of how we understand it.

What way is that, and what are we? You have to know yourself before you can even answer the kind of questions you're trying to ask, and honestly the quality of your answer depends on the quality and structure of your question. If the universe is a computer, then it can compute, and we can compute along with it, but it doesn't tell you why, it doesn't give you any absolute truth, there is no absolute truth so far that we have beyond the mathematics which are notoriously uncertain.

I'm no mathematician but I know enough about quantum physics to know there is no absolute truth on the quantum scale. What is absolute reality?

You see Luckybit, you are making several assertions and you are hoping that those who read them will agree with you, but at the same time you are saying that nothing is absolute (which I am guessing you are including your own assertions). If what you are arguing for is not absolute, at least in your mind, then why should we even listen to what you have to say?

I don't believe everything you say is wrong, for I've read many of your posts and you make a lot of sense. But when you say that there is no absolute truth then that strikes a wrong chord with logic.

Logic is undeniable, for anyone who tries to refute it must first use it and thereby is affirming it. It's like saying "I can't speak a word in English." What's wrong with that sentence? Obviously, in making that statement, the statement itself has been negated, because the speaker had to speak English in order to communicate the idea that he or she couldn't speak English. It is a self-refuting affirmation. "I don't exist" is another example, for one has to exist in order to make the statement.

The statement "truth isn't absolute" is making an absolute statement of truth, which makes it a self-defeating statement.

Reality are just probabilities. That is all reality is on the quantum scale.

You see you are making two absolute affirmations here, "just" = just that, nothing else, and "that is all reality is" = "it can't be anything else".

Please think about this. Your post contains several absolutes and yet you negate that there are absolutes. Your are engaging in double talk or contradiction.

So when someone says they know there is an absolute truth, how can you know that when on the quantum scale it looks like the universe hasn't decided on that?  From what I know if a decision is made, it happens at the collapse of a wave function, if you would even want to think about it as the universe making a decision to solidify reality.

I am sorry I don't understand what you are saying here.

When I say we don't have certainty I mean based on our current understanding we don't. When I say we don't have an absolute truth I'm basing it on my philosophical interpretation.

There are many things we can be certain about, there are also  many things we are not certain about. For example, we are certain that 2+2=4, and all mathematics and deductive logic give us certainty. But when we delve in the realm of science, for instance, I agree with you that "we don't have certainty ... based on our current understanding".

@cass I like your color scheme, it's easier to read. 

I've come to the conclusion that we need something more robust than github can offer.

So I've created an XML file which is easily manageable:
https://github.com/neura-sx/neura-sx.github.io/blob/master/roadmap.xml

And thanks to a very nice invention called XSLT it is able to render itself in the browser to this human-readable format:
http://neura-sx.github.io/roadmap.xml

It's easier to read. Good job.

Would it be possible to add an "estimated time completion" column?

Very good point.

UIA have so many possibilities if you really think about it.

Tuck, What do you mean by 925?

Top 1000 richest accounts of BTS , USD , CNY,NOTE etc for BTS2.0,

  Thanks Luckybit, that's what I told the couple of people before they invested in BTS.
