Phenomenologically Speaking: Is Being simultaneous in its "beingness" throughout The Universe; and if so, ...?

Question

... what makes it so?

Here is a lil' departing gift for the brain cells lost on this one. :-)

Answer 1

The potential for being exists simultaneously throughout the universe, but the switch that clicks for being to begin can trigger in random ways, meaning that being can be simultaneous or it can be non-simultaneous.

Answer 2

Your Question is too Oblique. Try again...  :)

Answer 3

Good question! I agree: not vague, with some understanding of Phenomenology and Relativity. Actually a very stimulating question. Actually the type of question everybody should be thinking about when contemplating phenomenology and relativity.

Since this question requires some thought and probably a couple of cups of coffee, I prefer to momentarily digress and suggest  that our progress is more appropriately benchmarked by the questions we are able to ask, rather than the answers we give. I suggest that this question supports that notion.

Having run out of procrastinating ideas... I can simply say more later. :-)

OK, have had coffee so I'll take a quick shot, but acknowledging that this question deserves more time and certainly more  understanding.

You could look at this from a variety of "Continental" philosophies. Arbitrarily,  from a Heideggarian understanding of Being as "conscious Being already in the world"-a sense of Being that ontology needs to "Fundementally" approach since  being-in-the-world "Dasein", is  impossible to understand by abstracting away from it and examining it as if it were a detached experimental object rather than  an integral part;

the specific criteria by which an enitiy can be/Beingness can be approached through a methodological hermeneutic process of successive interpretations of intent, in which one needs to know "the whole text" and "specific excerpts" and the relationship between the two, all grounded in temporality.

In other words, Heideggar contends that the existential and ontological constitution of the totality of Dasein (human existence)  is grounded in temporality. The being of Dasein is time.

If time reveals itself as the "horizon of being" and   that simultaneity is not absolute, but dependent on the observer, a function of the space occupied, then it might be reasonable to suggest that Being could be simultaneously "spread out" at least in the part of the universe that constitutes the criteria for being. Of course there might still be a need to work out some minor issues such as nonlocality (for example, perhaps we get causality from Being rather than Being from causality

Answer 4

both yes and no...

if we take into consideration the possibility of alternate timelines then perhaps we exist in this timeline even though we cease to exist in another.

i love santana.

Answer 5

Sadly, my computer will not let me download the latest flash player.  I have to fire my neurons and come up with a solution.

Answer 6

I'll need a little more time to answer this..

thanks for adding me.btw

Answer 7

maybe you have lost some brain cells . . . the question in this form makes no sense.

you need an ? + x = y

Answer 8

on the line, x will always be x. On a graph, y will always be y. in this life Da-Sein, you will always be you, no matter where you go.

Hemp, love it.

Maybe this is why those people who have brushed with death and saw  their "entire lives flash before them " in an instant  ,as the whole of their exsistence was ever present.

Thank you for the Treat on you tube. I love food for thought.

Here's one for you all from me:

Answer 9

...lol...a bit vague but I'll give this one a shot...lol...

(let me know if I have misunderstood your question, please)

Of course it is,....

everything has a purpose, cause and effect, chemical reactions, microscopic life feeding a larger life,....even when something is still and we cannot see or feel it moving it doesn't mean it isn't contributing....to something...lol...just like this question...it has a purpose though it may seem vague or even a hidden purpose from it's questioner...lol...maybe that was your point,...maybe it has no purpose for you or anyone else...who knows,...as for me, I couldn't help but get a little tickled when reading it....and an even bigger smile when I checked out the link you left us with....

I hope that you could add a little more insight to your question but for now.....this one is for you in response to yours......

cheers! LOL! ;)

****EDIT****

looked it up....lol....

If one believes it can be an entity of its own...why not?...space, time, light,darkness, etc.,....could they each be entities of their own that is possibly unfathomable for the human mind?
