I've go one thing to say to you BigFish and that's WOW. How concisely you put all those amazing theories and questions. I'm trying to think about them all - honestly but it makes one feel kind of strange. Bit like looking back at yourself in a mirror and asking "Who am I?" You've certainly given me loads to think about and I really mean that. If Plato was still alive I think he would have considered you his intellectual rival AND I'm not joking! Keep on amazing us, please.

I remember laying in bed at night, talking to my younger sister, I was 11 then & she was 9. We were talking about "eternity" and how it must get incredibly boring. I love the questions posed here, it shows a lively mind & just how things don't really change that much. That was over 40 years ago and I'm still asking similar questions.

What a miracle that the universe is asking questions about itself. Or as a physicist would put it: the atom's way of thinking about atoms. Hear my music: http://music.download.com/3600-5-100795586.html

This sort of thinking is that sort that you urself think but dont ever really share it, possibly because its too bleak. Its exploring the concept of infinity, it is impossible to explore as we have had no experience of it, yet then how do we have the concept of infinity? This piece provokes a lot of deep thought related to this sort of thing and puts it in a sort of black and white way its a good take on the whole issue.

This is a good example of 'Faction' BigFish. The fact that we are all hear to ponder such questions and the often 'Fictional' models wee construct as plausible solutions. As some one on this forum onces put it, Fiction is a fact in waiting. I like this piece BigFish. It reminds me that science the dawn of man, People have asked these same questions without being concerned with the possibility that perhaps there never was answers that could be understood by the conscious mind. Still, We are compelled - Hard wired - if you like, to ponder on. 'What a piece of work is natures little game?
