It's crazy but it's too much more complicated then my theory, plus your giving humans way too much credit :) !

Its good to question some things but what you are saying is like saying "whats the meaning of life?"When in fact there is no meaning. You just live here ,while you are here, and do the best you can. Wether that means you invent the atomic bomb or you have 3 kids or you volunteer to help the needy. Just live life to the fullest and enjoy the time you are here,and you will come even closer to the answers.
Amen.Quote:

No, I'm not asking what the meaning of life is - the 'meaning of life' is dependant upon your sociological circumstances, ie, in the western world, 'the meaning of life' is to collect as many pieces of paper (money) as you can before you die, even if it means stamping on your fellow man to get it; whereas, in some parts of Asia, 'the meaning of life' is to find enlightenment.
I just find it difficult to accept that this is it - that we are merely here to 'do the best we can'. There is too much that doesn't make sense.
We all question who we are. Every one of us, at some point, has wondered where we came from, where wew are going, and what the point of it all is.
Why?
If we are here to 'do the best we can', why do so many of us instinctively ask 'why?'. What is inside us that makes us question our own existence?
"There's no smoke without fire", I always say.
I mean, take 'Pi', for instance.
It is an incalculable value - they call it an 'irrational number' (ie, 1/3 is rational - 0.33333). They got a super-computer trying to work out the value of Pi, and some reckon that if (and when) the value is known, all the questions of the universe will be answered.
I just thought I'd throw that in...dunno why....but there you go :D
Res...
i think that the questions and the curiosity and not knowing the answers are half of what keep us going. i think that knowledge is powerful but too much of it can be dangerous. i mean, what happens when you know everything there is to know and have nothing to wonder about?Quote:

Ah ha! I'm glad you asked that...
Err, I dunno...lol
I think that it has something to do with time-space-continuem - we would be able to look back to the beginning of time and discover what it was all about.
I reckon that there was an almighty *bang!*, so if we do look back in time, we ought to remember to wear safety goggles and ear-defenders
I think that's what it's all about - Stephen Hawkins could tell you better than me :)
have you ever seen that movie, pi? haha so off topic.
i heard it was a good movie, though. a beautiful mind was also good.
on topic again: one of the math teachers in my school calcuated pi out (not completely, just enough to cover all halls) and pasted it around the school. i found that pretty amusing. then i just thought, "wow, he has way too much free time on his hands."
