Some philosophy for you....
Edited on Mon Oct-03-05 02:35 PM by icymist
Just answer the question the best you can. If you feel you must answer the question with another question then only a firm sentence can refute it. Are you ready? Knowing that atoms,when blown up to a super size... say taking an apple and making that apple the size of the Earth... the atoms would be the size of an ordinary cherry. Now, make that cherry as big as, say, the city of Springfield, Illinois. The neculeus would be the size of a peble and the orbiting protons and electrons, the sizes of pebles orbiting this at the edges of Springfield. Everything inbetween is nothing! Empty space! These are what atoms are made up of according to Micael Talbot in his book The Holographic Univerese. If this is so, then most that everything you see around you and yourself is made up of nothing!

Why?

2. Uh Ahh! You avoid science by taking the most obivious question in philosph
Edited on Mon Oct-03-05 03:01 PM by icymist
Ah hah! Why isn't science and philisophy connected? Science question? Not in my mind. It's all interconnected. Go ahead and ask as many questions as you feel you are limited to.

edit for spelling and computer malfunction.... this is not my usual computer.

10. Space?! My oh my! It is the empty that is between all of us.
It can be physical as in between you and me! It can be psychical! Such as "My space being invaded"! It can also be outside of our very planet..."We are now entering Space" There are many more of these I could discribe space to you.... I'm typing on an old computer machine and it isn't as good aas I wish. Neevertheless,opinions I may have are not changed. To define space is to call it empty. Frankly, you andd I are made up mostly of someething empty. That's the best I can exxplain it to you.

12. Hummm. In other words, science sucks, huh?
Haha! Just kidding! This makes all theroriess look beyound their boundies. I believe that all physics points are based on really one principal. A lot of people have trouble understnding this, that physics can explain the irralational that has been presented all along and ignored.

6. Why implies intent
There is nothing to suggest that there need be intent. It creates an interesting mental exercise but it need not have an answer.

8. Indeed. And may I add that so does 'Why Not?'
It is the answer that never need be.

16. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
Ah, hell, it is easier to say that there is some God who made it all out of nothing so the ingredients are nothing, therefore, you have nothing.

Fuck if I know. :shrug:

My philosphy, don't sweat the small stuff, just find some hole (more nothing) to stick it in so it won't be in the way...
