There probably is an alternate universe, or galaxy even to ours. Just goes to show that anything is possible, and we're all just a tiny speck (even smaller) than anything else in the universe.

The other stars that we see today might have died already at this point in time. It's just depressing until we can find a way to travel faster than light or bend space and time.

^uh...not in that movie, they couldn't have made her more of a lesbian if they tried. I know she slept with McConaughey, but she was pretty dyked out throughout the movie.

couldn't be more right. everyone that isn't tied up to 420 style philosophy and making up stuff with their imagination knows that there's an end to a life just like there's a beginning. once you're dead, that's it. your life doesnt matter, as much as we'd like to think it does. religion is basically psychological police that kept us sane from the beginning

I'm not completely positive on that. I don't know what happens and neither do you.


I think my experiences with different states of consciousness have made me aware that nothing is quite as it seems, things really are ambiguous and your senses and brain together only paint a very small picture of reality.

+1

There is no proof as to what happens when we die. If you want to subscribe that we become nothing but worm food, that's good for you.

I think we shouldnt limit ourselves to the "Laws of Physics". It is a set of theories that are developed on Earth and how things behave in the other end of the universe may be vastly different. We should continually modify the laws and accept that physics as we understand is not complete.

And in theory, if we can travel at the speed of light, time will stand still. If we can travel FASTER than the speed of light, time goes backward. SO, it may be interesting if say a planet A is 10 lightyears away, the image we see is from 10 years ago. If we can travel faster than the speed of light, time goes backward and we can reach planet A without discrepency in time, we'll be there "now"

Yes, Newton long pondered what a bucket on a rope, filled with water, and set to spin, how it would react in a universe with no other matter in it.


Fabric of the Cosmos goes in depth on some of the theories and we really don't know what things are like on the other side of the universe.

Read up on dark matter and dark energy. Also, the universe is actually speeding away from itself at a faster and faster rate, leading some to believe in billions and billions more years, the universe will become dark and a complete blank slate again.

The next book I read after was Schrodinger's Kittens, then a couple other books. My other favorite book is Origins of consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind.

great second point, laws of physics aren't broken by any means.
