“except for this maddening connection problem I’ve been having.”
Serves you right for posting in the middle of the night ;)
I was thinking about how long you could survive with basic needs. Several weeks without food, several days without water, a few minutes without oxygen, maybe two minutes without air (in a vacuum). How long could you live without space? You couldn’t live without nothing, if that were all that space is.
How long could you live without space?
Wow, that’s a horrible thought! I’ve never considered it before. But I think I’ve just developed a new phobia. Thanks.
If you were out of food, water or air, you’d die. So it seems the least physically substantial the necessity, the more agonizing the death, judging from a fish’s reaction to being taken out of water, all that flopping around and all.
The problem being with space is there’d be no room to flop around in, no matter how much pain you were in.
So if you were taken out of space, would that be the same as being spaced out to death? No, that’s just silly and doesn’t sound as painful as we already know it should be.
Maybe it’d be somewhat like being instantly thrown into the center of a black hole, since we supposedly know space and time are both destroyed there, because one cannot exist without the other.
So there’s a clue: being yanked out of space would mean you would also be yanked out of time, and you would die instantly. You couldn’t survive two minutes without space because time doesn’t exist without space and there’d be no two minutes happening for you after you were removed from space.
I don’t know, but I do know it’s all just too horrible to contemplate!
