Wait, I don't think it was Einstein who showed that electricity and magnetism are the same thing, I thought that was Maxwell. From Maxwell's wiki page : "His most notable achievement was to formulate the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation, bringing together for the first time electricity, magnetism, and light as manifestations of the same phenomenon."
"IF" an actual eternal consciousness truly exists, one thing it could never ever do is to personally experience a total cessation of conscious existence. And yet, that is the one very thing that we as humans, as well as many other species, cannot apparently ever escape. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe if an eternal consciously existent somethingness does in fact exist, maybe it's experiencing "conscious death" through us and conscious things that die. "If" true, could that connection be identified and utilized by us while we are yet consciously alive? BUT, "if" we don't truly have an actual eternal consciousness, then it will cease to exist one day from something. A cessation of consciousness that will last into a very real eternity. Life itself would just be an illusion from our human perspective as far as eternity would be concerned. Our true destiny would be to cease to exist and be forgotten. (Eternity being a really, really, long time, infinitely eternal).
Oh, maybe Marvin was just referring to the mass-energy tensor in the Einstein field equations, which combines mass, electricity, and magnetism in a single tensor, which is (largely/essentially) equivalent to the curvature of space-time. This is generally considered more elegant and compact than Maxwell's equations. If memory serves, there were some guys from GE corporation who elucidated the tensor transformations in the context of rotating machines, in the physics literature of the 1920s or 1930s (I think). [Note that Weinberg and others went on to combine quantum electrodynamics and weak nuclear forces. And string people are (so far failing at) trying to combine all known forces in a geometric program not too dissimilar from what Einstein and others could only glimpse in the 1940s and 50s.]
Occam's razor: The most probable scenario is probably the correct scenario. Note that it does not declare that it is the correct scenario, only that it is the most probably correct scenario. Further scientific analysis would be needed to confirm, change, or deny if that scenario is actually perceived to be true or not.
I think conciousness came out of the trials and tribulations of survival. Humanity has had to face many setbacks even to the point of extinction. So we have had to adapt in many ways in order to survive. Consciousness was an option that worked for us and allowed our species to move forward. If our environment was perfect for our survival in the past we would of carried on as animals do with no need for consciousness.
It's a mistake to suggest that animals do not have consciousness. Do you think that a wolf is not conscious of the possible results if he attacks an adult bison all by himself? Do you think that the bison does not appreciate the consequences if it fails to defend itself against the wolf's attack? They, like us lose consciousness when they sleep and regain it when the awake. Animals don't participte in sports contests where they are likely to lose consciousness, like boxing where the object is to render your oppontnet unconscious.

May this great man rest in peace
What? Why?
Was Marvin a conductor on the side?
Can't believe he' still so energetic at 89.
Lol, not anymore, haha! May his inexistent soul rip

Can anybody tell me what is the screensaver on the computer behind Marvin at the beginning?

Review Occam's razor, it refers to the unnecessary proliferation of entities, but says nothing of probabilities.
R.I.P.
Good riddance!
Which kind of picture would've appeared with his hands full of paint? 🎨
is the audio relatively soft to anyone else?

Humans are still animals, just very arrogant animals that think they are not animals.

You’re talking about intelligence
@@brudno1333 i dont think people lose consciousness when they sleep...read about anesthesia and consciousness...
@@selsuru u call yourself arrogant?
A lot of flaying about.
one things for sure, if anything happens to one's consciousness after death, ol' Marvin here knows what it is first hand, cause he's dead
