A community for anyone interested in big questions and meta-questions pertaining to the natural world. For the purpose of this community, natural philosophy encompasses philosophy of science and metaphysics as well.

For those of you on Matrix, there is a super-space which tries to aggregate scientific chat rooms and spaces at #science-space:matrix.org, including a room for philosophy of science and a physics space.

Moderation: Submissions and comments are moderated on a subjective case-by-case basis to facilitate and maintain a healthy, pleasant, and rewarding environment for anyone with a genuine interest in learning, participating, or merely lurking. Just to state some obvious (non-exhaustive set of) behaviours and content we won't have here: bigotry; hate speech; sealioning; strawmen; pseudo-/anti-science; dis-/misinformation. Additional context may be taken into consideration as well.

You don't have to justify your fascination, but you are most welcome to!

'Proposed' includes old and new ideas alike. Consensus isn't a requirement either - it could be speculative, contentious or entirely uncontroversial, as long as it doesn't contradict what is currently known.

I'm sympathetic to the MWI as well. It's currently the only explanation that is both consistent with what we know and doesn't require any new physics to work.
