mm, the final frontier is only final until you find somewhere else to go.


a dimension is a interesting thing because its something one usually have heard about since childhood and it seems sort of logical depending on how its explained. but its still probably more advanced than alot of things that we are used to think about. its kinda hard for us to imagine that there are other ways to go in the universe when we are used at being closed up in XYZ. luckily we live in a good time for science, and hopefully we will be alot more enlightened on the universe when we are all sitting on the home complaining about the weather.

but yeah, organized religion is not the best source for quantum physics.

I find the idea that before creation (whether you believe that's Genesis or the Big Bang) there must have been nothing, rather weird. Therefore an idea I have is that time might be a big infinite loop....that sometime in the future, everybody dies, everything collapses and the big bang happens again

speaking of which, the idea that Earth will be gone some day (the Sun will not live forever) is quite disturbing. almost as if we're all living and building this civilisation...for nothing :p

It's kinda like a civilization timer. Here's your planet, you have 10 billion years to find a way off it. GO! GO!

Why is this disturbing? If there is a God, surely he's gotta look and think: "Hm, so I built all those stars and galaxies and shit for nothing, since they're just gunna get sucked into a supermassive black hole at some point. And those pathetic dust-mite creatures are bitching cuz their so-called civilisation and dust-towers are gunna get blowed up by the sun exploding?" :D :)

To be fair, tho, there's a couple billion years on the clock. Humanity as we know it will have died out LONG before that ever happens! :)

Humanity as we know it, will last a few generations. After that, humanity will have changed (adapted to new situations) so much that probably no one alive now would recognize it. Change seems to have accelerated geometrically during the last centuries, so this prediction is very probably true. If anything cataclysmic is gonna happen on the way, the i believe something humanlike will be able to survive and adapt drastically. So, as long as earth is still alive in a million, billion or whatever years, i'm sure that something connected to humanity will be survive, and i don't mean ruins. :shiftee:
