42.

the trick is, do you know the question?

Hey. You changed your post. That's not what you said before.

that's not the question.... that's not even right. stupid mice....

Doesn't that mean that his answer and belief is flawed too and if those are flawed then maybe the universe is flawed but if the universe isn't flawed then how can his answer and belief be flawed?

Exactly.

when the 10 million years is up, we'll know the real question.... if things don't go wrong that is, like an interspace bypass right through here.

there are those who postulate that the question and the answer are mutually exclusive.

Why ten million years? Won't we be dead by then?

And I keep hearing knew theories that the universe has an end and that there is nothing beyond the universe. So if there is nothing beyond the universe isn't that something and what is nothing exactly? I always thought of nothing being complete white. I don't know why but I just do. So I think beyond the end of the universe there is only white.

I have a theory of my own though. I believe that the universe is just a bigger version of a galaxy that is within a bigger version of itself which is within a bigger version of that and keeps going on forever.

The ten million years is up roughly 2000 years after that one man got nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be if people were nice to each other for a change.

we could quote the whole series, or we could tell people to go out and read "the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" series

and also Terry Pratchett's Discworld books.

Well, if you are talking about the end of the world as far as Bible terms, it actually never says the world will end though it will come pretty close to it. But I personally don't believe that it will be as bad as they say. I mean prophets are always blowing things out of proportion so they can sell their work. I say we shoot all the prophets and allow ourselves some peace and quiet for a change. If the world ends in the mean time then at least it will be peaceful. I mean by the time it ends, I will be dead so what would it matter. And also so we aren't making the same mistake that is recounted in "Dune".

The universe has distance and time and a few things in between. Time and distance both being abberations means that what is outside of the universe lacks these things. Therefore nothing is perfect balance. And everything is unbalanced.

But how do we know that for sure until we have acutally been outside the universe? It could be the way I just explained it or it could be that the universe doesn't end or could be something totally different that I haven't even come to conceive the notion of.

I hate theories as they never solve anything but create more problems. I think I'm going to go and make God talk. He'll tell me or I'll beat it out of him.

The only way to find out is to drag you out there.

If you come back then your right.

If your cancelled out of existance then I'm right.

Either way I've started the drag and it's at 34%. Looking for some assitance.
