The second discovery has to do with light and sight, and has philosophical implications that tie in with the first discovery. The third discovery has to do with death and the nature of of consciousness. Taken as a whole, the three discoveries have profound ramifications.

See how nice and concise that is? You should have let me edit Lessans' book. :yup:
I didn't see this OP when I first came online. I like it. :wink: The only thing I don't like is that you call his first discovery philosophical, which it's not. It was born out of philosophical thought, but it's factual David whether you believe it or not. That's why you never listened carefully, and why you resort to other theories on this subject like Norman Schwartz, thinking this somehow negates the proof of determinism.
So take out the word "philosophical." :shrug:

Oh, and Norman Swartz is not a "theory." :D
