If we are the figments of some imagination, who's figments are we?

Why is it that George Bush became president? Sure, Regan was twice as stupid, but at least he had style to cover for it

Beware. This will happen. At some point in time all of your existance will be compressed into one split second. You will not be prepared. You will not see it coming. You will not have time to think or to ponder. It will happen. Hard, fast, and with no remorse it will hit you.

And it will not be the only time.

You can survive it, never fear. You can cope and deal and endure.

And live.

But to answer the question, No. You will never get another chance. The moment is lost to history even as it occurs.

Perhaps another time there will be something similar, and perhaps it may be influenced by the previous, for better or worse.

But you will never get another chance, for when it happens, it is lost forever, and it will never be the same chance again.

So beware.

Dustpuppy, I would LOVE to see some concrete evidence for this. if you can come up with any that we'll all die in a split second some random time and for some random reason caused by some random event.

It all seems a bit............ambigouos.

Proof is really hard... I mean I can't prove that the sun won't turn into a bran muffin on Tuesday either.

Ah, Hume's causality. Very clever Primus.

However Hume would argue that the sun has yet to change into a muffin or whatever since the dawn of existance, and so therefore on probability alone it is reasonable to assume that it won't happen tomorrow either.

How can you be so sure, SubmissMe? I think I remember it turning into a cow yesterday... not certain... that may have been friday night.

*smacks self on head*

We can NEVER be 100% sure of anything ever, only that we ourselves exist (Cogito ergo sum)

We work on probabilities to find necessary truths. You've never turned into a cow before, but that doesn't mean its impossible. However because it's never happened before we can assume with a high degree of certainty that this won't happen today, tomorrow or 20 years from now.

Causality, Is Ought Gap, The Fork - is there anything Hume can't deal with?

In the beginning their was energy.
It was in the form of a plasmatic.
Eventually so much of its mass built up that it caused bipolar particals.
And then it discharged flinging energy out into the cosmo's.
Matter itself consists of energy alone.
No matter is anything but a condensed or current form of this energy.
But if all matter is energy a I think it is.
Maybe I could turn the sun back into a cow like on wensday.

That was fun....

Probability is never 100%, like you said. Theres such a thing in math as a repeating decimal, one that goes on forever. It will always get more precise, bigger if you want to call it that, but it will never hit that next number. Most things have a 99.999... percent chance of happening. The sun turning into a bran muffin, for example.

How bout I tell you a little Douglass Adams story.

". . . imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in, fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for."

But I don't think the world is specially fit for anyone. Hence the saying "The whole world doesn't revolve around you".

Good story though.

The world doesn't revolve around me specifically, you'd have to be really really really fat until you are almost the size of a planet to acheive that.

Oh dear, now we'll get "Become really fat so the moon revolves around you" files on the voting page.

Mind you, I'd still vote that over astral projection or whatever the hell it is.

You would actually have to be larger than a planet by a long shot to have a planet orbit you.

Especially as the density of the average human being a lot less than the average lump of Earth.


I can't imagine why you would prefer a file which makes you fat enough to make the moon revolve around you over a file that enables you to travel throughout the astral world unfettered by the constraints of space and time.

Logically I,d have to say that we are all on our own path.
And to that, our own world revolves around us.
If we don't grasp for some control other do the same.
And if we don't give a little planets collide.

Such is reality... :twisted:

Well, if I understand Michael Talbot's "The Holographic Universe" correctly, everyone contains the entirety of reality; therefore, everyone IS all of reality, therefore the world DOES revolve around each of us, and we revolve around ourselves in turn. Everything is one.

Or, as Douglas Adams had it, everything can be extrapolated from a piece of fairy cake. (Which is interesting, since "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" came out about ten years before "The Holographic Universe".)

Actually they both rotate around a notional point in space that is between the two bodies. And, that point 'moves' too. It's all relative. But, that's just pedantic!
