And I will talk about it loudly! Just like you can!

Well, yes, extremes in temperature like burning or freezing will cause pain, but there are pain receptors in your skin that would be at work if you suffered an injury, while your temperature...

True, but you're claiming an experience like pain is one of the senses, when you can only perceive it through one of the actual senses (tactile mostly)... there is a difference.

Well, that's the definition of sense as a verb. Make the distinction between verb and noun: the "senses" make up the biological facilities we have to perceive sensory input. Even weirder ones like...

Most people are simply trying to turn nothing into something and need to spend more time becoming familiar with the concept. :D

The big bang is not the creator of time. Humans are the creator of time. Time is not essential to the universe and rather only to our understanding of it.

I'll grant you any number of cosmic burps...

I am not speculating what happened out there but rather trying to assert that the Big Bang starting is point in time information, the specifics of the occurrence is irrelevant. Suppose you know the...

Define belong, because cpjust is basically saying the same thing I did.



Now, you might not be interested in that aspect of time when you're not travelling but I don't think it can be ignored....

You're wrong about at least two of those: pain and the sensation of hot and cold are both sensory experiences. It is a mistake to classify human experience as the senses. Furthermore, the senses that...

Well I suppose the ultimate question is whether time passes in stasis (before the epoch to begin them all). I don't think there is an ultimate difference whether we are the first or forty-second...

But you can define distances in terms of time (rate of speed times time), so it doesn't make sense to me that time is wholly different from space. It might not be tangible or real, but time being...

Yep. Well, it's one astronomer's opinion, anyway. I dunno if I would call it pseudoscience... it more or less explains why everything's just right with Earth, and supposes that alien life would need...

Really, I'd just like to see things get back on topic. As far as I'm concerned, Elysia's position is something like this: "Never discount a possibility, especially since there is an infinite amount...

Well let me be honest and say I'm having a hard time comprehending your English. I understand infinity as a concept, but it's rather illogical to think infinity exists as a real number. I mean, you...

I think that if the universe had infinite mass, the Law of Conservation of Mass would be rather difficult to explain. If mass could be infinite then there is no reason why it shouldn't be created and...

That's too much like an overworld map in an rpg... :eek:

My high school science teacher demonstrated that the only thing existing outside the universe is ignorance. In what sense does knowing...
