Because like any classical object they move according to Newtons Three Laws Of Motion
And they have to obey these laws as they cannot just move anywhere that they want to
We are not really conscious of neurons when we are doing any deep thinking though
We focus on what it is we are thinking about not the mechanics behind that process
Billiard balls are inanimate objects not a different species [ whatever that means ]
So stop attributing mental capabilities to things that have no capacity for free will
You have lived a quite sheltered life. Aren’t you the same one who thinks that if we cease to exist, that we can exist right now? (Contradiction) (that We die in totality at brain death?)
So because I do not think that billiard balls are conscious I must have lived a sheltered life ?
What a ridiculous non sequitur - you seem to be rather good at them - they your speciality ?
You have an interesting relationship with reality Ecmandu if you really believe what you say
I think death is simply a transition from consciousness to non consciousness and nothing more
But everything dies including the Universe - you might have heard of this thing called entropy
Every shaman who has ever lived in planet earth not only believes but operates their entire life under the knowledge that every object has its own spirit.
Like them, I have seen it.
Yes, you exist in a very narrow bandwidth of life knowledge.
Children know this too, but they have it beaten out of them by “education”
I do not use the imaginations of shamen to inform me of my understanding of reality
So do you have any actual evidence for panpsychism or are you just babbling as usual
The Universe will eventually die though it will still exist in a physical state
It just wont be able to produce any atoms at a fraction above absolute zero
So it will therefore be nothing more than a vacuum of near virtual emptiness
You appear to have convinced yourself that immortality is actually possible but you may be disappointed
I have no need for this belief because I have no fear of death and so will accept it when the time comes
I wanted to die eternally. Turns out that it’s not possible. Go figure. It sounded great to me, dying eternally, it was the force and only meaning of my life!!
With a billion times more power than you ever put into it!!!
There are many reasons to believe that things will not end with the heat death of the universe. Check out the popular, in physics, cosmologies. The fact that the universe sprang into existence or seemed to, in a radically anti-entropic event, indicates that the second law either does not hold always or is local or some other options.
