One thing which always gets me thinking and in the end ususally hitting myself to stop me thinking about it, is the universe. What kind of a strange place do we live in, do you have any theory's which you want to share?
Is there an edge to the universe?
What if we are just living in some small spec of dirt for an aliens world?
How far is as far as the eye can see?
And another thing which really gets me annoyed is this quote: If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
These are the things which can drive a man to madness.
But just remember, E=M C squared.

It's only unanswerable because it's badly worded. Plenty of those types of questions around....

How many pounds in fifteen?

See, that was easy to do wan't it?

Well I just do know actually. If you are going to believe the physical laws that we use to define our world and everything else, then you have to believe this. You don't say for example, 'If I don't see an aircraft fly, then they can't', or 'The sun didn't rise because I didn't see it do so'. This is the equivalent of a child covering its eyes and assuming that because he/she cannot see you, you cannot see him/her.

If you know that trees make a sound when they fall when you are there, what reason do you have for suggesting they don't? Don't say you just don't know, because the same laws of energy conservation that enable you to type your message and post it here are the same ones that state that a tree will make a sound irrespective of whether you're anywhere near it or not.

Are you sure you know why sound exists?

How far can the eye see?
Well, its about 50miles if you have 20/20 vision. After that the world starts to curve ever so slightly so you could probably see a tall building from 200 miles away.

If there's no-one there, how do we know it actually falls, and doesn't teleport or something? Could well be silent.

For gods sakes people I know how sound is made, but does it make a sound if there is no one to hear it. Don't say yes cos' nobody knows. Youre still going to say it does, BUT U JUST DON'T KNOW!!!!!!
