"General Wise Thoughts"

You know when you have those little thoughts that seem either quite wise or just plain annoying, and you want to share them with the world. Well, now you can.

Perhaps this will turn into a dictionary of Zen-like thought (or just plain weirdness), feel free to add your thoughts below.

...it just might work...

Star Shaped
-----------
Be careful when describing something as star shaped. Stars are not pointy but flaming balls of rock, so unless you are describing a beach-ball on fire, try another description.

That's like saying space does not exist because distance is a construct of man to describe how far apart things are.

Better to be a clever dick than a filthy tw*t.

Time.
Time does not exist as a physical Entity it is a construct used by Man to describe a series off continous events, such as one day passing into another , the hands of a clock (created by man) turning, or the aging of a child to adult. Therefore if time does not exist and space is a bubble and you were capable of reching the edge of this bubble you would eventually return to your starting point and this thread would not have been started.

Or at least i think thats right.

My head hurts. I think i'll stick to the xbox forum.

(Not that I'm claiming to be too sharp on my astrophysics, but I think I am getting my head round the concept of an absence of space/time itself better than the average laymen. The average layman whose never thought about it at least.

Where there's an empty vacuum, with no matter, there's still space.
If you're looking at the question of whether there is space or not, despite the lack of matter there's still 'something' there, space.

And when there's no space, there simply isn't that empty vacuum at all.
You can't look at it as 'there's nothing there', if there's no space, there is no 'there'.

Thank god im young and free, for now...

If a man talks alone in a forest and there are no women around to hear him, is he still wrong?

People say that finding newts in water is a sign that it's fresh. But, do the newts get out to go for a p###?

Before you criticise a person you should walk a mile in their shoes. Then when you do criticise them you're a mile away. And you have their shoes.


Stars are flaming balls of gas, not rock.

But where does nothing stop being nothing and then become nothing?
