Supporters of this view believe that the Roman Empire does not threaten the spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ because Luke “ simply recognizes its existence as a political reality, but he is clear that God is greater .” Throughout Acts, believers like Paul are being charged with spiritual crimes concerning “ teaching against Israel, the law, and the temple ” ( Acts 21: 21, 28 ; 23: 29 ; 24: 5 ; 25: 8, 19 ; 28: 17 ) or being a civil disturbance ( Acts 16: 20, 21: 38, 25: 8 ) rather than political charges.

Also, it is often erroneously cited that total plate appearances is the divisor ( i. e., denominator ) used in calculating on base percentage ( OBP ), an alternative measurement of a player's offensive performance ; in reality, the OBP denominator does not include certain PAs, such as times reached via either catcher ’ s interference or fielder ’ s obstruction.

It holds that quantum mechanics does not yield a description of an objective reality but deals only with probabilities of observing, or measuring, various aspects of energy quanta, entities which fit neither the classical idea of particles nor the classical idea of waves.

In reality, each cycle at a given temperature does not occur at exactly the same position in the fractionating column ; theoretical plate is thus a concept rather than an accurate description.

If he / she chooses not to put the detectors there, then the interference pattern will become reality ; if he / she does put the detectors there, then the beam path will become reality.

The EPR paper ends by saying: While we have thus shown that the wave function does not provide a complete description of the physical reality, we left open the question of whether or not such a description exists.

This does not seem to be in accordance with a continuum theory and must lead to an attempt to find a purely algebraic theory for the representation of reality.

Thus, according to Hegel, a great man does not create historical reality himself but only uncovers the inevitable future.

However, this article provides an interesting discussion of the limitations of the principle and also of different scientists ' views as to whether it is an accurate representation of reality or whether " Huygens ' principle actually does give the right answer but for the wrong reasons ".

To Stirner, rights were spooks in the mind, and he held that society does not exist but " the individuals are its reality "– he supported property by force of might rather than moral right.

To Stirner, rights were spooks in the mind, and he held that society does not exist but " the individuals are its reality ".

In addition, Hegel does believe we can know the structure of God's mind, or ultimate reality.

Unlike absolute idealism, pluralistic idealism does not assume the existence of a single ultimate mental reality or " Absolute ".

Additionally, Tan Chung notes that according to the doctrines of the Mahāyāna sūtras themselves, it does not matter whether Guanyin is male, female, or genderless, as the ultimate reality is in emptiness ( Skt.

However, he continued that special relativity does not necessarily rule out the aether, because the latter can be used to give physical reality to acceleration and rotation.

The essential partiality of our view of things, their being given only in a certain perspective and at a certain moment in time does not diminish their reality, but on the contrary establishes it, as there is no other way for things to be copresent with us and with other things than through such " Abschattungen " faint outlines, adumbrations.

The basic proposition of these two categories pertains to the nature of reality, and the primary distinction between them is the way they answer two fundamental questions: " what does reality consist of and how does it originate?

When a mage performs an act of magic that does not seriously violate this commonsense version of reality, in game terms this is called coincidental magic.

Nihilism can also take epistemological or metaphysical / ontological forms, meaning respectively that, in some aspect, knowledge is not possible, or that reality does not actually exist.

Moral nihilism, also known as ethical nihilism, is the meta-ethical view that morality does not exist as something inherent to objective reality ; therefore no action is necessarily preferable to any other.

" Thus, Objectivism holds that the mind does not create reality, but rather, it is a means of discovering reality.

All such imitations of negative quality have given rise to a compensatory response in the form of a heroic and highly individualistic humanism: if man can neither know nor love reality as it is, he can at least invent an artistic `` reality '' which is its own world and which can speak to man of purely personal and subjective qualities capable of being known and worthy of being loved.

Since the slogans have little application to reality and are sanctimonious to boot, the applause is faint even in areas of the world where we should expect to find the greatest affection for free government.

She was the opposite of everything she should have been -- a positive pole in a negative home, a living reaction of warmth and kindness to the harsh reality of her father.

A nation may go to war on some trifling pretext, when in reality it may have been guided by an unconscious instinct that its very life was at stake.

The progress of science over these last few centuries and the gradual replacement of Biblical by scientific categories of reality have to a large extent emptied the spirit world of the entities which previously populated it.

Korzybski thought that people do not have access to direct knowledge of reality ; rather they have access to perceptions and to a set of beliefs which human society has confused with direct knowledge of reality.

There is no scientifically accepted evidence that any such powers exist or that any anomalous operations have been observed in reality.

There is no scientifically accepted evidence that such ' interactions ' have been observed in reality.

Idealists are skeptics about the physical world, maintaining either: 1 ) that nothing exists outside the mind, or 2 ) that we would have no access to a mind-independent reality even if it may exist ; the latter case often takes the form of a denial of the idea that we can have unconceptualised experiences ( see Myth of the Given ).

In reality, the second two types of bodhicitta are wishes that are impossible to fulfill because it is only possible to lead others to enlightenment once we have attained enlightenment ourself.

In the chapter on climate change in his 2001 book A Skeptical Environmentalist he states ; " This chapter accepts the reality of man-made global warming but questions the way in which future scenarios have been arrived at and finds that forecasts of climate change of 6 degrees by the end of the century are not plausible.

Forty-seven years after the initial freeze, Costa Rican President Óscar Arias Sánchez announced on 18 March 2009 that normal relations were to be re-established, saying, " If we have been able to turn the page with regimes as profoundly different to our reality as occurred with the USSR or, more recently, with the Republic of China, how would we not do it with a country that is geographically and culturally much nearer to Costa Rica?

* Prominent media journalists, pundits on major nationally syndicated television shows, commentators on prominently scheduled television shows, nationally acclaimed media columnists and syndicated columnists, critically acclaimed and best-selling authors and writers, major national newscasters and news analysts, national television reporters and television anchors, national television game show hosts on prominently scheduled game shows, radio personalities on prominently scheduled radio shows, comedians on major headlining comedy shows, reality television personalities on most prominently scheduled reality television shows, daytime television show hosts, and late night television show hosts have a strong likelihood to become celebrities.

However, in reality, most crystalline materials have a variety of crystallographic defects, places where the crystal's pattern is interrupted.

Some television shows such as Deadliest Warrior have incorrectly portrayed butted mail as having been used historically in Europe or the Middle East ( in reality, Japanese mail ( kusari ) is one of the few historically correct examples of mail being constructed with such butted links ).

It would have appeared to, and appearances contribute to reality.

After the first episode in 1960, the Daily Mirror printed: " The programme is doomed from the outset ... For there is little reality in this new serial, which apparently, we have to suffer twice a week.

Games do not have to stop at the avatar-player level, but current implementations aiming for more immersive playing space ( i. e. Laser tag ) take the form of augmented reality rather than cyberspace, fully immersive virtual realities remaining impractical.

Visual arts have a tradition, stretching back to antiquity, of artifacts meant to fool the eye and be mistaken for reality.

For Plato, `` imitation '' is twice removed from reality, being a poor copy of physical appearance, which in itself is a poor copy of ideal essence.

But, in denying any physical reality for this dream, how could the brain possibly compose that realistic, vividly visual continuity uninterrupted by misty fadeout, violent break or sudden substitution??

In these final pieces he offered a critique of Western science in which he suggested that non-European languages often referred to physical phenomena in ways that more directly reflected aspects of reality than many European languages, and that science ought to pay attention to the effects of linguistic categorization in its efforts to describe the physical world.

Whorf argued that paying attention to how other physical phenomena are described in the study of linguistics could make valuable contributions to science by pointing out the ways in which certain assumptions about reality are implicit in the structure of language itself, and how language guides the attention of speakers towards certain phenomena in the world which risk becoming overemphasized while leaving other phenomena at risk of being overlooked.

The Volkssturm had existed, on paper, since approximately 1925, however it was only after Hitler ordered Martin Bormann to recruit six million men for this militia that the group became a physical reality.

Anti-realism is the view of idealists who are skeptics about the physical world, maintaining either: 1 ) that nothing exists outside the mind, or 2 ) that we would have no access to a mind-independent reality even if it may exist.

Euclid believed that his axioms were self-evident statements about physical reality.

Husserl declares that mental and spiritual reality possess their own reality independent of any physical basis, and that a science of the mind (' Geisteswissenschaft ') must be established on as scientific a foundation as the natural sciences have managed:

The empirical appearance and physical properties are not changed, but for Catholics, the reality is.

Einstein struggled to the end of his life for a theory that could better comply with his idea of causality, protesting against the view that there exists no objective physical reality other than that which is revealed through measurement interpreted in terms of quantum mechanical formalism.

Since the early twentieth century, quantum theory has proved to be successful in describing accurately the physical reality of the mesoscopic and microscopic world, in multiple reproducible physics experiments.

The EPR paper says: " We are thus forced to conclude that the quantum-mechanical description of physical reality given by wave functions is not complete.

The principle of locality states that physical processes occurring at one place should have no immediate effect on the elements of reality at another location.

If physical reality is totally finite, then the Copenhagen interpretation might be an approximation to an information processing system below the Planck scale.

Most physicists today believe that quantum mechanics is correct, and that the EPR paradox is a " paradox " only because classical intuitions do not correspond to physical reality.

To illustrate how this leads to the violation of local realism, we need to show that after Alice's measurement of S < sub > z </ sub > ( or S < sub > x </ sub >), Bob's value of S < sub > z </ sub > ( or S < sub > x </ sub >) is uniquely determined, and therefore corresponds to an " element of physical reality ".

* A. Einstein, B. Podolsky, and N. Rosen, Can quantum-mechanical description of physical reality be considered complete?

It is more like a physical quantity, and though it can be tempting to treat height as the vertical coordinate, in addition to the horizontal coordinates and, and though this actually is a good approximation of physical reality in small areas, it quickly becomes invalid for regional considerations.

To grok () is to intimately and completely share the same reality or line of thinking with another physical or conceptual entity.

Rand thinks the only social system consistent with this morality is full respect for individual rights, embodied in pure laissez faire capitalism ; and the role of art in human life is to transform man's widest metaphysical ideas, by selective reproduction of reality, into a physical form — a work of art — that he can comprehend and to which he can respond emotionally.
