I've discovered the answer to everything.

You're right... it's 42.... now we just have to figure out the question!:jointsmile:


Pleeeeez tell me some of you remember Douglas Adams.... :wtf:

Of course, but the question is, do you remember Towel Day?

Of course, but the question is, do you remember Towel Day?

I have a dunkin donuts napkin in my purse... but there's always a towel in my car... just in case I hapen to run into the ravenous bugblatter beast....

You are born, you live, then die. Did your existence raise the frequency of the collective human conscience or lower it?
Did you bring more love into the world or not?
That is all.

What it comes down to is the origin of all origins. The origin beyond the origin of species, beyond the origin of molecules, beyond the big bang, the origin of existance, which simply cant be explained. Because from nothing, comes nothing. So that leaves us with the assumption that "something" was always here, which is equally as hard to grasp. This is where religion comes in. Even the original posters philosophy resembles reincarnation such as in hinduism. Various religions adopot, think up, and fabricate on other religions belifes in order to make that religion more desireable and creditable.

Also, youve already experienced what its like after death. Before you were born.

I could've swore it was 41.

personally i fort it was 42

[FreeVenice]

you would.

what the hell is that suppost to mean?

[FreeVenice]

I think too many people take that literally without really thinking it through.

We could be comparable to bacteria but just like them we have to have a certain environment in order to keep multiplying. So if a bacteria lives in a big glass of sugar water and eats the sugar eventually there will be none left. Thats true with humans too, but its more complicated, what if the bacteria excrete sulphuric acid but can only live in a basic environment? Eventually that critical PH is gonna pass the 7.0 mark and there gonna float belly up.

Thats more akin to the situation we seem to be in right now.







I've read every single douglas adams book ever published.

They are all really good. Then I started to like Kurt Vonnegut then I stopped reading after reading most of his books, hes a really good writer too.

yeah thanks, there's alot more to it, but I don't really feel like typing. . .

Beyond big bang? should this be another thread?
If you think that everything is made up of trillions of calculations in any one instant, what would happen if there were no calculations.
To go back to the begining, before big bang there was nothing.
This includes mathematics, there was no 1+1=2, there was hovever 1 and another 1 and another and so on and on.
These 1's were made from energy created by probability and chance a + orbiting round a place it no longer occupies, a negativity.
It orbits round it's own gravity.
The whereabout's of the + in any one given moment cannot be calculated, as it's probability there, but there's a chance it's not.
So why did the Universe start?
The odds against it not existing were too great, eventually at some point a+ and a+ occupied the same space at the same time.
+plus+=2, which is different to all the other 1's, bigger and heavier with more gravity, and now there is also a space where 1 that had joined the other had been.
An inbalance, a shift, more are attracted to the heavier 2 them them selves now joining others as the mathamatics of chaos and order begin the foundations of the Universe.
So fast are the maths that they explode forth in a huge explotion of creation, all the 1's gathering forming the gases and elements of the Universe leaving, a void, a vacuum behind them.
Space.

If you want to do an experiment to show how this would look, you'll need some hot water, some fat or oil, an electric mixer or fork andsome washing up liquid.
Pour some oil on the hot water and mix til the oil forms tiny droplets.
Now drop a bit of the washing up liquid into the mix and wach how the universe was formed. (this is a two dimentional experiment).
Dark Matter?
Has anybody seen the ping pong balls with mousetraps experiment?
It was created to show how a chain reaction in chaos theory works
The floor of a room was filled with mouse traps loaded with a ping pong balls.
When one trap was set of the chain reaction was something to see, but not all the traps went off.
Could these left over traps represent the particles that were not part of the creation of the universe, and are now known as dark matter?
