Title: Post a deep question
Post by: Parts on February 08, 2009, 06:34:44 PM
Post a deep question  like something that boggles your mind

Example:

When you look out at the Ocean just think that's only the top

Great grandma's Christmas decorations were there before I was born and will most probably be there when I'm dead. A human life is shorter than that of a Christmas decoration.

The universe would have the same laws of nature, even if it was just 3 meters in diameter. How does that cope with the theory of the curved space?

Water and hydrogen peroxide - just one oxygen atom more and you get a very different chemical. Though that doesn't go for other chemicals that contain oxygen from the beginning, like CO vs CO2 or KClO3 vs KClO4...

If you insist that you're sane and a shrink has another opinion you can get forced mental care. If you insist you're insane, the shrink will consider you at least half sane, since you have "insight in your problems".

Quite well, if you know something about the subject.

But I've read that you'd be looking yourself in the neck if universe was that small. Or that's at least a theory.
Title: Re: Post a deep question
Post by: odeon on February 13, 2009, 03:33:39 PM
Yes, you would. Except that nothing even remotely like "looking" would be possible. Space that curved is not livable.

It's a black hole on steroids. The whole universe would be one big event horizon.

I am as old now as my mom was when she had me, and at my age she'd been married for two years or so.  I am far more emotionally mature than she is even now.  If I have to put the way this blows my mind into a question it would be "WHAT THE FUCK?"

Yes, but Judas still erred gravely- just as men who follow their wives' instructions not to make a big deal of major gift-giving holidays and celibrations err gravely.  Judas should have known what Jesus REALLY wanted him to do.

According to the gospel of Judas, he did know what Jesus wanted and he did it, even at great personal cost.

Quote from: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/gospel/feature.html
The “secret account” gives us a very different Judas. In this version, he is a hero. Unlike the other disciples, he truly understands Christ’s message. In handing Jesus over to the authorities, he is doing his leader’s bidding, knowing full well the fate he will bring on himself. Jesus warns him: “You will be cursed.”

I went to the local small bookstore in Benicia yesterday before work and did not even have to order the Gospel of Judas, they had it in stock.  :thumbup:  If I could make good money working at a bookstore I would do it. The last religious related book I read was In Search of Zarathrustra and that took 2 months or better. Since I am more familiar with Christianity than Zorastorianism this should go quicker, a lot of the book is commentary and brushing up on the Gnostics might be helpful, the text itself should not take long to read through and do a quick initial evaluation. Now I'm undecided about finishing Journey to a Revolution (about the 1956 Hungarian revolt against commie scum) or jump right into this new one. :green:

Great grandma's Christmas decorations were there before I was born and will most probably be there when I'm dead. A human life is shorter than that of a Christmas decoration.

  Likewise the house I currently live in.  I was looking around my (now-clean) kitchen after the
  mouse occupation, thinking that the house will outlive me, that I am temporary and ephemeral.
  When my body dies, will there be anything left of me to feel how ephemeral I was/am?
  Will I know I'm dead?  Will I haunt my current house, or will I return to my childhood home?  :boo:
