This forum focuses on questions of the "existence" and "nature" of Epicurean gods. The Ethical questions of a proper attitude toward divinity are discussed in this Ethics subforum.

This Physics forum addresses the reasoning behind the conclusion that there is no immortal soul. For the ethical implications of this conclusion, and how to think about this fact, see the Ethics forum.

This forum is for discussion of pure physics matters, including the role of the swerve in the formation of "worlds." For discussion of the swerve as it relates to "free will" please post in the Free Will forum located here: https://www.epicureanfriends.com/index.php?board/393-free-will-freedom-of-choice-within-limits-and-bounds-vs-determinism/

Issues relating to modern research will appear throughout the other forums, but this subforum is specifically devoted to modern researchers whose work is relevant to modern scientific perspectives on physics, rather than primarily philosophical in nature.
