   As Strevens puts it: claims of the form c was a cause of e …do not assert the existence of a raw metaphysical relation between two events c and e ; rather, they are causal-explanatory claims that assert that c is a part of the causal explanation for e . (2008: 4) (See also Davidson 1967, 1970; Strawson 1985.) On a view like this, we can maintain that, while causation relates coarse-grained entities like regions of spacetime, causal explanation relates more fine-grained entities like propositions, or events under-a-description. Secondly, we could claim that “…causes…” is an intensional context,…

   "You have done for us in this Twentieth Century what Ptolemy, Euclid, Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler did for their earlier centuries. But you have further penetrated all physical barriers and extended your discoveries into definite forms of the infinite law which created our universe and keeps it in operation with mathematical precision through the millions of years ."

   It is true, however, that the Timaeus is by no means confined to speculations on physics. The deeper foundations of the Platonic philosophy, such as the nature of God, the distinction of the sensible and intellectual, the great original conceptions of time and space, also appear in it. They are found principally in the first half of the dialogue. The construction of the heavens is for the most part ideal; the cyclic year serves as the connection between the world of absolute being and of generation, just as the number of population in the Republic is the expression or symbol of the transition …

   So let's keep going here. So this is again um showing here. You can see here how there each of the nuclei is it's in essentially become multiple nuclei. Each one with its own plasma tail. And there's your string of pearls. This was a photograph of Shoemaker leaving nine, the commentary debris chain. And this is an artist depiction of its approach to to Jupiter. And over that week, um, you know, 21 pieces fell into the Jovian atmosphere and created these gigantic plumes that were larger than the Earth itself. And I think that was a point in in the history of our study of uh the denisens of the …

   The fact that we have more than 200 300 flood myths all around the world which speak of a a global cathism which speak of of of a time before the flood often described as a golden age which speak of of humanity somehow angering the gods uh and the universe striking us down. This is not a story that's limited to Plato. This is a story that's found all around the world. And one of the ways that those who specialize in in in so-called debunking uh try to attack Atlantis is to to completely ignore the global flood tradition of which Atlantis is just one small part. It's not even the largest. It's …

   This kind of view would allow us to retain even the very coarse theory of events from Quine (1985), according to which an event is just a region of spacetime. The entry discusses contrastivism further in §1.2.2 below. 1.2 Relation 1.2.1 Instances There are a wide variety of theories of the token causal relation—theories of what it takes for one event, fact, or what-have-you to be a token cause of another. This entry won’t attempt to survey the available options. The interested reader should consult the entries on counterfactual theories of causation , causation and manipulability , probabilist…

   That that's drawing from the the quoted words of the of the Egyptian priest which coincides 9,000 years before Solon is 9,600 BC which coincides perfectly with uh meltwater pulse 1b which Plato could not possibly have known about and nevertheless he gives us a date which coincides with what what what is recognized as a catastrophic era but at the same time we have all these desperate attempts by those who want everything to be young to say, "Oh, Plato didn't mean years. He meant he meant months." And you know, I'm saddened to see that people who style themselves as alternative thinkers are als…

    We find ourselves again launched on what looks to be an infinite regress of temporal dimensions. These are strong arguments against two perennially tempting ways to construe temporal becoming—as like motion or qualitative change. They are strong arguments against the existence of temporal becoming if there is no other way to understand it. Broad thought, however, that he had a third way. Having pointed out the superficial grammatical similarity between ‘\(E\) became louder’ and ‘\(E\) became present’, Broad said that our understanding of these two kinds of assertions need not be dictated by it…
