Last night's Horizon

I suppose what I am contemplating is that what if, if there are any are the boundaries of spacetime. Perhaps the effect that matter of our universe has to curve space time is limited and this could be a boundary.

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

Who remembers Quantum Leap? Oh boy.

Dr Sam Beckett leaping through time striving to right the wrongs and all the time hoping that his next leap...will be the leap home.

No, Yorkshire's the centre of the universe

It's only a thought experiment and will therefore be shaped by my perception of things so yes it is subjective, youth! combined two threads is this forum curvature

Now in mathematics the concept of infinity can be used without implying the existence of a thing that is infinite.

Ok, but Steve Wright's ego is infinitely large and infinitely dense and that exists. Black holes exist too, and not just theoretically the Horizon two weeks ago reported that. Whatever a 'singularity' is you must at least go with a 50% chance it 'exists' so to speak.

Yeah. It was the daftest pseuo-science concept imaginable, but worked quite well as a plot device.

What happened when Sam jumped out of the person's body. Did they go back to being a gambling drug addict (or whatever)? Did no-one ever think "Come to think of it, I was acting a bit out of character over the last few days. Also, I seem to have developed the ability to kick-box"?

"Gadzooks, i've been posessed for the last few days, where did all these massive cigar butts come from?"

When he "jumped into the Quantum Leap Accellerator and vanished" in the first place, what made him do it i can't remember? Bit of aggro from the old trouble and strife? "just off to the shops dear.." this'll show the old baaaaaaaggg.................

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

Yeah - I thought that too, but couldn't remember his name to post a reply. Is it Al?

No, it's Mr Gonzo from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Ziggy! That was the computer thing that looked like a Psion.
