Well, SOMETHINGS still holding the Greeks up!
Lol, never seen that one before, thanks! :-)
Some may, not I.
I’m grateful for His gift(s) among them one is that He allows me to consider what He has created.
The SCOPE does baffle me though
(period left off intentionally)
It’s from Monty Python’s Meaning of Life.
That’s an honest and thoughtful reply.
As in Arthur C. Clarke’s Nine Billion Names of God, I think that I want to both know and also, don’t.
Apropos for a New Years posting, thank you.
Happy New Year, a better one I hope.
So according to the theory of relativity, how much older would we all be if we were stationary and not moving throughout the universe at ~627 km/sec?
A little thanks to the gift giver might be appropriate.
Oh yeah, right. How are we supposed to do all that on the back of a turtle?
Perhaps this will please you:

(Personally, I like Mr. Post’s version better)
Happy New Year,

“I’m still trying to understand, if we’re ‘physical’,
how can there NOT be an end to the universe”
Heisenberg. We are ‘also’ a synthesized vibrating wave form.
Good. I was starting to think I should exercise. But having traveled that many miles, I’m good.
How can one truly compute the ‘speed’ of our planet when all things are ‘moving’ ? Where is the ‘stationary spot’ in the universe that these measurements are made from ?
Yeah, and how much of it you remember is inversely proportional to how much of that "gravitational pot" you smoked.
If the universe ends...to what?
What is on the other side?
I will stick with the giant infinite loop that folds back on itself. The Mobius Strip
My previous answer to you sounds somewhat glib, but it goes even further back to Newton, since force is only experienced as changes in velocity, you feel no outward experience due to travelling at a fixed velocity, Ego, there really is no “fixed” velocity. It’s all relative.
The laws of physics are unchanged by adding an arbitrary velocity to everything.
I tried to follow 'string' when it came out, which led to that 'cat' guy and it all seemed to lead into math which seemed to prove that the math couldn't be done and I kept coming in to work late.
(on top of it all, it brought me back to when I was ten years old and trying to figure out why my reflection in a mirror was backwards, forwards or left, right and HOW? I just wanted to stay up late and watch Jack Paar!)
A synthesized wave form? ALSO?
Sounds like the equation where 'something happens' is included.
No offense, but it still doesn't explain how "physical" can become infinite. Are we physical or not? (and I don't reference pajama people)
Perhaps that's why the symbol for infinity is a Mobius strip?
All above light hearted and I thank you for the reply, Happy New Year.
The symbol for infinity, from the Greeks, where Barry got his economic economics training.
(and a belated ping to you to post 31)
In the interest of the original post, it doesn't matter how fast your going, if you don't know where your going (of if you brought your lunch)?
Happy New Year!
