Does that make any frickin' sense?

You'd win yourself a Nobel Prize if you could prove something like that was going on.
Do you claim to know more about the universe than anyone else here? If so then tell me why that is! I'm not saying that you are wrong, in fact you are probably right, but reality is tangable and there is something called luck or chance that is caused by choices that we make. Every single thing affects something else even if its in a tiny way. if even one atom were added to out universe it would displace every other atom thereby affecting everything even if its just a tiny bit. But how do we know there isnt some pattern or flow or shape to this luck, it would be possible to calculate luck if it were in an extremely small environment, or you might be able to calculate the odds of what will happen and depending on if reality is random or not you would be able to determine the future, or at least get the probability of what will happen next in a sequence of events.

there is a law that states for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. now this applies to physics, so that would mean that it would apply to physical objects and stuff you can touch, see, feel etc. but what about energy, if it also applies to electricity then even thinking would have some opposite affect on something else, which leads me to wonder about the distiction between mind and matter. is it definate?


If i had enough money and time I would LOVE to do scientific research especially in the field of quantum dynamics or electromagnetic field dynamics, but im far to lazy and poor to go to school for it.

anyways, once again i forgot what my main point was gonna be (damn you marijuana!!!!!! hehe :stoned: :stoned: )
