| Relationship between religion and science The relationship between religion and science has long held interest for scholars, particularly in the philosophy of science, the philosophy of religion, and the social sciences. While science and religion have both been described as systems for making valid ontological statements about the world, epistemologically, religions tend to rely on revealed ontology: either knowledge about the world that was divinely revealed (common in Judeo-Christian belief) or knowledge that is 'revealable' to anyone who pursues proper spiritual practices (as in mysticism or many eastern religions).

| Time travel Time travel is the concept of moving between different moments in time in a manner analogous to moving between different points in space, either sending objects (or in some cases just information) backwards in time to a moment before the present, or sending objects forward from the present to the future without the need to experience the intervening period (at least not at the normal rate). Some interpretations of time travel also suggest that an attempt to travel backwards in time might take one to a parallel universe whose history would begin to diverge from the traveler's original history after the moment the traveler arrived in the past.

| Embodied philosophy Philosophers, cognitive scientists and artificial intelligence researchers who study embodied cognition and the embodied mind argue that the nature of the human mind is largely determined by the form of the human body—that ideas, thoughts, concepts, categories and all other aspects of the mind are shaped by the body: by the perceptual system, by the intuitions that underly our ability to move, by our activities and interactions with our environment, and by the naive understanding of the world that is built into our bodies and brains. The embodied mind thesis is opposed to other theories of cognition, such as cognitivism, computationalism and Cartesian dualism. Embodied_philosophy
