Gawains theory of relativity

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Well Im sure youve all heard or thought of this one. Is it possible we and the whole universe are nothing more than relatively a molecule in a much larger entity?

[Devastatin Dave]

We are a pimple on the ass of an ant. Is that what you are saying?

[Strike For The South]

No its not and you shall be silenced for your heresy

[Sjakihata]

Well Im sure youve all heard or thought of this one. Is it possible we and the whole universe are nothing more than relatively a molecule in a much larger entity?

Possible yes, unlikely yes.

[Byzantine Prince]

Our galaxy might be part of a another star system much larger then that, and then that could a part of another much larger and more unpredictable then that. In other words we'll never know and it's all hopless.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

We are a pimple on the ass of an ant. Is that what you are saying?

Thats basicly it. Could be worse we could be a hemroid in the ass of whatever. Or as someone else here once said we could all be part of a sims program on some futuristic mainframe.

[Strike For The South]

If we were all sims on a futeristic mainframe the amount of ass that would kick would be unimaginable

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

maybe we are all figments of my imagination?

[Sjakihata]

maybe we are all figments of my imagination?

Certainly not

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

Sjakihata:

maybe that's just me thinking that,eh?

[Sjakihata]

To some degree Descartes' Cogito ergo sum, can be used to deny many of the proposed scenarios, such as us being in a computer game or what not.

If indeed I am an object of your imagination, surely you'd be able to predict my next post and in what threat in which im posting, no? Are you up for the challenge?

How we do it: you'll write down, privately, in what threat i'll be posting and exactly what i'll be saying. then I do post and you reveal your prediction in this very thread, ok?

I'll post it in the next 10 mins after you ok or no-go on my suggestion.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Not until I imagine it. By that time you will have posted it.

[Sjakihata]

Not until I imagine it. By that time you will have posted it.

The keyword here is predict

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

Sjakihata:

that wouldn't work if we are both figments of my own imagination. I can't predict what I'll imagine or not.

[Sjakihata]

Well Im sure youve all heard or thought of this one. Is it possible we and the whole universe are nothing more than relatively a molecule in a much larger entity?

A question for you Gawain. Would you find that if such theory was true, that we were some particle of something bigger, it would exclude religion (im thinking christianity)? Or not? please substantiate your claim

[Gawain of Orkeny]

I've thought the same thing before. And it makes sense when you consider that everything is made up of little atoms, which happen to rather resemble little solar systems. Who knows? Maybe the universe is like one big cell in a larger entity? Who knows.

Yup. What started me thinking about this again was a show where the mentioned theve found all sorts of engines in simple cells that they never knew were there.

[Sjakihata]

Sjakihata:

that wouldn't work if we are both figments of my own imagination. I can't predict what I'll imagine or not.

Obviously, you cannot be a figment of your own imagination, who is there to imagine it then? Someone must, physically, posses the imagination, I think.

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

in that case, how about I am also you and we are both figments of my imagination, which would also be your imagination.

What if the physical world is just a figment of my/our imagination?

[Sjakihata]

in that case, how about I am also you and we are both figments of my imagination, which would also be your imagination.

Talk about skizofrenia (sp?).

We (you and I) must say then, that we have a very good imagination, no? We think that's the only conclusion we can logically draw from that.

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

we/I are most Excellent

[Byzantine Prince]

And it makes sense when you consider that everything is made up of little atoms, which happen to rather resemble little solar systems.

They don't necessarily look the way they are depicted, and they don't necessarily have a physical form either.

[_Martyr_]

The solar system comparison is an extreme simplification usually used in secondary schools. Its not even a good simplification, its just used because its what laypeople can understand without much explanation.

[_Martyr_]

Easy answer: It wouldnt look like anything.

The wavelength of visible light is MUCH too large to be "seeing" anything anywhere near the scale of an atom.

I do, of course.

Unlikely. A part of a machine must have a function. The universe is too big have a specialized purpose or function.

Mind you, the earth is practically a ball-of-nothing compared to the rest of the universe.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Who said anything about a machine or function? And whats big? Thats what this thread is all about. Its big relative to us but how big is it in the overall scheme of things? Whats past the edges of the universe or is that all there is?

[Proletariat]

There's a joke about people who smoke too much pot before getting on internet forums lurking here somewhere.

You are a machine. Your whole body is a machine.

Gawain is older then pot. I wonder if Gawain's post count will grow so large that the org will implode and the universe will become nothingness again.
