But then wouldn't that boundary be subjective? In which case, are you saying I am the centre of the universe?Quote:

No, Yorkshire's the centre of the universe :DQuote:

Can't believe you've mentioned this, I don't know why but always thought your avatar was Al from Quantum Leap trying to repair Ziggy :confused:Quote:

I dont believe that we are meant to understand the workings of the universe. We live in a 4D world and as a result could never contemplate and understand this, although there is hope and progression, I feel it is futile.
If the answer to all of the above was phoned through to the most intelligent scientist on Earth, they would not understand. It would be like trying to explain the internet to an ant. We simply can not hold the intelligence to understand.
Tao begets one. One begets two. Two begets three. Three begets all things. ;)
Perhaps your right. Does anyone know what the Ferrari policy is on cancelling orders without losing a deposit? :oQuote:

I tried to post a big picture like Stolly always does but i don't know how to grab the URLs from google images, they just end up as little red crosses.

That's not true Brightside. When the scientists were asked what a black hole was, not one of them could answer. I think many of the leading physicists are so caught up in manipulating figures(mathematics), that they've lost the link to philosophy.Quote:

Was there not once a Black Hole in Calcutta:confused:Quote:

Ok so let's leave the dynamic, and simultaneously stagnant, world of quantum mechanics to talk about dog psychology. I know that dogs aren't stupid as my cat loving mother will furiously deny but i wasn't aware just how radically they have evolved in the keep of humans. The face recognition thing was pretty cool, i've since realised that i do a lot more with the right hand side of my face than i thought; winking, cheeky smiling, looking at something with one eye. The dog that could remember objects i'm pretty sure was cleverer than any parrot, and the ability to realise a picture can represent an object is very advanced for a canine considering chimps fail the pointing test. Dogs truly are man's best friend.
Mine bloody wasn't after scoffing all of the sausage rolls at my daughters birthday party!Quote:

It looked like that Border Collie could do anything.Quote:

My mate's got a collie crossed with whatever and it's got the best nose i've ever seen and meticulous persistence. He lives in an area where the houses have high fences, networks of ginnels, bushy areas and a wood accross the back. He can throw the dog's ball as far as he can in any direction and within half an hour it'll be back with it, he was on about lending it to the police to be trained as a sniffer dog.Quote:

its all pointless when you can't prove anything outside your own mind actually exists.
Attention! Tonight's Horizon explores the theory that there is not one infinity, but many, each one larger than the one that preceded it.
Sounds like my theory that there is not one just one fellrace, but many, each one harder than the one that preceded it. :cool:
Infinity is just an excuse to quit ;):DQuote:

Isn't infinity infinitely big? If so, how can anything be larger?Quote:

My sister: (short pause) Isn't, times infinity and one
We would then have an argument about the nature of infinity. I hope she's not watching tonight.
