The student-King believed that his Guru must have been aware that the elephant was of a purely illusory, phenomenal character. The Sage replied, 'Indeed, in highest truth, the elephant is non-real. Nevertheless, you and I are as non-real as that elephant. Only your ignorance, clouding the truth with this spectacle of non-real phenomenality, made you see the phenomenal me go up a non-real tree."

Did he use Monkey magic?

"How wonderful indeed are thy powers! But let me ask thee one question.
Thou hast killed the elephant and brought him back to life; what hast thou gained?
Hast thou realized God?"

why would I want to kill an elephant? my god likes them too.

Dr. Hawking was just on the tv. here's a little gem regarding his (broken) universal theory:

in fact, if you were to start walking into a wall, there is a very small (but possible) chance that yr atoms and the atoms of the wall will phase into alignment and allow you to pass THROUGH the wall.

once infinity is added to the equation, probability and possibility become matters of "when" and not "if".

no rly. I'm gonna work now.

But does infinity exist? Isn't infinity a matter of belief? We can't see it, it's undetectable.

Thanks for listening.

yes, I believe so. I call infinity's manifestation "god".

I also realize that my finite mind could never fully grasp infinity, in its totality.

Cool, let's talk about stuff we don't really know all that much about.

That's very nice, Mr. Cantor. Now will you please return to your cell. We don't want to have to ask Mr. Sedative for his help, no we don't

I think that name's already been taken.:(

It will take an infinite amount of time to understand infinity. So if infinity doesn't exist and time is finite, we'll never understand it.

What if there were a finite number of infinities?

I believe that there are an infinite number of "self-contained" infinities.

If there are an infinite number of universes and so this planet and everything on it has an infinite number of duplicates (or something like that:confused:) yadda yadda and so on.

perhaps, yes. there exists a possibility that in a dimension close by, you are The President of the Northern American States and South New Japan.

there even exists the possibility (although far less likely) that I do not have the Best Cat in the United States. I pity that floatingretardedly.

If you take all the particles in the known universe and arrange them in all the different possible ways they can be arranged, then anything beyond will be a duplicate of one of the previous arrangements (arrange that into a sentence that sounds cleverer, possibly using the word "quantum" or "fluctuation").

And so you can calculate approximately where the next universe identical to ours will be. Of course you will fall off the edge of the universe before you could reach it.

I think that it should also be said that the physical universe the we observe is the result of an infinite number of possibilities filtered down to that which "come true".

if that is the case, then there is a lag time in the resolution in which small changes can be made.

everything that is possible must be considered.

So much so that I can sense pining nonsense like quantum mysticism better than most.

Too bad your element only seems to uselessly compound itself.

the problem is, if any of the countless number of particles (both big and small) were to be different at all, everything would cease to exist.

welcome to my doomsday device.

let's play a game where we list the countless possibilities of what bradders does or doesn't know.

these worlds may manifest, so it's worth a try.

I'm off for a break in the Infinity Hotel...if they've got any rooms. I've got about 300 leaflets to deliver tomorrow and so I needs me ole Mickey Rooney (kipperooney).

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 01:06 PM.
