A troll is someone who posts things for the explicit purpose of garnering a specific response.

You know, like someone going to a christian forum and stating that God isnt real, that kind of thing.

but after hearing about you, i'm not so sure i jumped the gun.

Well I am flattered that others are speaking of me, but I think you will find that those who have negative things to say of me have their reasons, but that they might not be the best reasons.

I apologize though if the remark was taken the wrong way, it wasnt my intention. I dont like the idea of anything I post on a message board about pot making anyone upset and ruining their groove and buzz. Once again, my bad man.

I've heard that theory too --- that the universe is constantly splitting into infinite universes. Every possible thing that can happen at any given time actually does happen in one of those universes. In regards to free will, the universe we experience reflects our own personal choices; however, there are an infinite number of universes, containing an infinite number of other possible choices we could have made.

I don't know if I buy it either, but I guess it is useful for explaing some quantum physics.

One reassuring thing that you can take from this theory is that if you ever regret a choice, you can be consoled by the fact that in an infinite number of alternative universes, you made a different choice!

I think its more of a placeholder until we really understand what happens. I think that the infinite universe theory is just a very crude way of describing whatever happens to be taking place. It seems a bit too unrefined at the moment, and while I cant completely discredit it, considering that quantum physics do work, it just seems like its not quite right.

My gut feeling is that it is not right either. But have you ever had a close brush with disaster, like being grazed by a speediing car? After hearing about this theory, I couldn't help but feel like maybe I had died in another universe. It was a weird thoguht.

I was riding in teh backseat of my car while a friend was driving down two track roads in Northern Michigan in the middle of winter... roads were really nasty and we were drifting around the corners, lost traction on one and ended up wrapping the car around a tree... I could see my friend in the drivers seat by looking out my window.

There is a twisted kind of feeling that comes from moments like that, I agree there. It would be an interesting world we live in though if infinite universe theory is how it all works...

the past is nonexistant, for it is over before it can be held on to, reality is constantly being created as NOW. the past and the future are outside of the equasion.

the past sets up the present, and the present sets up the future, but only the present can exist, for, as stated before, by the time the present has existed, it is already past, and we've moved on to a further present.

the moments i took to type this response no longer exist, but it was then which this present post was built. without that, the present would not occour.

mindless babble.

This thread is seriously - as has been said before SHIT!

Of course the past doesnt exist!

Look around you!

Do you see dinosaurs?

That logic is just so foolproof, I cant believe I never thought of it that way before.

Quick, someone tell all those scientists that those dinosaur bones arent real, because the past isnt real, and doesnt exist!

And remember kids, WWII wasnt real, because the past doesnt exist, so WWII doesnt exist.

And your parents were lying to you when they told you about your great great great grandpa who was dead before you were born. He isnt real, because he doesnt exist.

The five-minute hypothesis is a skeptical hypothesis put forth by the philosopher Bertrand Russell that claims the universe sprang into existence five minutes ago from nothing, with human memory and all other signs of history included. It is a commonly used example of how one may maintain extreme philosophical skepticism with regards to memory. It appeared in his 1921 book Analysis of Mind.

If the past isnt real, then that means that a theory similar to this one must be true.

Now I am not claiming its false, since its impossible to ever prove or disprove, but I just want you to recognize what saying the past isnt real means.
