QUESTION 2

Micah insists that he does not know with certainty that he has a body.  What rational reason might he have for making such a surprising claim? Explain. 150 words

The belief that one has a body is based on the brain’s belief that some physical form of the self exists. Micah’s uncertainty is based on the belief that the body can only be an extension of the will. When Micah decides to lift his hand, he first wills it, and then lifts it. In this regard, the lifting of the hand is one of two actions that are made by the will; the decision, and the action. The action made by the hand is nothing but the action of the mind turned physical. Micah’s uncertainty may also be questioned by its insufficiency of evidence. While the claim is believable (true), believed and justifiable, there is insufficient evidence on the existence of the body. The feeling of emotions on the body has been the only form of evidence. To counter it, it has been shown that there is a possibility that the mind has been more deeply objectified.

QUESTION 3

It is an acceptable truth to Micah that Kelly is a man

Micah believes that Kelly is a man

Micah is justified to believe that Kelly is a man

Micah has evidence to support his belief that Kelly is a man

QUESTION 4

If the true nature of reality was measurable, then there would be a minor chance that one day it will be defined. Probably someone would wake up one day and decide that indeed there has always existed a formula for measuring reality. Unluckily, it is immeasurable. Even with a formula, we would come back to the same point we began where we would try to explain what reality is in itself. Thinking about it, reality itself cannot be clearly defined. It is unique to each one according to the interactions that people make. In other definitions, reality does not even exist. It only exists in our perceptions. With this in mind, there is almost no way that it can be defined. There needs first to be a definite definition of reality. Without settling on one definition of reality, it would be impossible to tell what its nature is about.

Question 9
The one scientific theory that has the potential to provide a single, comprehensive account of our world and its contents claims that there are eleven dimensions.  We are capable of experiencing only four of these dimensions.  Can the experts who defend this theory correctly say that they know that 11 dimensions exist? Explain. 200 words

No. there has not been any proofs that the 11 dimensions exist. The 11 theories have not been satisfactorily identified. Instead, they have been devised to help explain certain theories about nature and existence. The string theory, examp0le, cannot be explained based on the first four dimension. The other dimensions are adopted to fill the gap left concerning the number of dimensions. They cannot be demonstrated or proven in a laboratory setting.

String theory attempts to created universes using bubbles. During the creation of these universes, it has been noted that any dimension can be obtained up to the 11^th dimension. When a dimension higher than 11 is generated, the universe collapses and demotes itself to an 11 dimensions universe. It is for this reason that there exists a maximum of 11 dimensions.

The 11 dimensions include the first 3 known dimensions of length, breadth and time. Time has also been adopted as a dimension and stands as the fourth dimension. The fifth dimension is the Kaluza Klein dimension. The sixth to the tenth dimensions are five different string theories that appear to be true together. The eleventh dimension argues that all the 6^th to the tenth are true hence adding a sixth dimension.
