Here is an interesting thought experiment

Can you identify an opinion that you personally hold dear that is wrong?

I can not answer point one due to the fact I'm too poor to eat out.

As for point two no one rings me.

No. Not possible because I have never been wrong.

Well, the only opinion I hold these days is that I'm wrong, so at least I'm right about something.

"I am not the greatest."

Being a modest guy does not pay of these days, I tell you.

"GOD sees everything!" Well, in looking around the 'punishment colony' that passes for life on this planet of late...perhaps there is no god. The 'creator' is perhaps an absentee landlord...and we are in his image.

Is there anything that is not part of the spatiotemporal world?

One would have to first define and bound what the "spatiotemporal world" is.

Definition of spatiotemporal

1 : having both spatial and temporal qualities
2 : of or relating to space-time

DONE! Well since the past creates the present ..it would have to be the future if someone violates the prime directive in the here and now!

"God does not play dice with the universe"

However He may by design have allowed the universe to play dice.

What are the truthmakers for mathematical statements?

Not Much: http://www.techinsider.io/physics-einstein-got-wrong-2015-11 Considering that the Manhattan Project launched with a letter by Einstein to FDR is about to bite us in the ass with Iran and N. Korea acquiring the 'bomb' ...and even E = mc2
has a small problem it seems: http://www.adamauton.com/warp/emc2.html

The speed of light (the 'c' in the equation) is slowing down

Here is a simple explanation

: http://www.emc2-explained.info/The-Light-Clock/#.V_J_5DAVCM8 Bottom Line; I'm not actually dying of old age (Edgar Cayce said there's no time-it's an illusion on the Terra penal colony) I'm simply suffering from terminal entropy!

( I just wonder who the little gray jailers are?...and if we keep them amused!)

If that is truly the bounding definition of Spatiotemporal, then I would imagine that there is a lot of stuff that ain't SpatioTemporal in nature.... my imagination for one.

I feel that this definition actually encompasses a rather small set of stuff.....my feelings not being one of them.

I believe there are more things that exist outside that boundaries....such as my beliefs.

Can there be necessarily existent entities?
