An interesting program on bbc4 now about the universe and where it started, are you also watching it and whats your view on it? One thought is that there are no beginning or an end. |

"I'm not sure there is a scientific consensus amongst the finest minds to have ever studied astrophysics.
All I can say is I don't know."
Yes and I recon as well we cant comprehend its complexity. |

You are at the centre of your universe and you're also made from star dust. I don't believe the universe hours on for ever because then that would mean infinite exact same worlds as this and that can't be right. |

"It's all in your mind. You live within your own universe.
"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.""
Thinking of watching it this summer - when we have a spare 4 hours.. |

Interesting it was, questions such as where does all the matters comes from and how do you get something from nothing, they say the secret lies in the primordial universe within in its very first second of existence. |

"So the universe is expanding....... What the f*** is it expanding into......  .
Space!"
Actually the latest theory's point to something akin to cappuccino foam and we are one of the bubbles, so we are all expanding into coffee.
Might explain a few things though.

There's a guy called Laurence krauss who wrote a book called the universe from nothing....I really did try to get through it but it's very hard going  |

its string theory that confuses me, the fact that many of the dimensions needed are curled up inside ours.
Oh that and some fundamental particles have to rotate twice through 360 degrees before the same face returns, i mean wtf, where did the extra 360 degrees go.

"What if the universe was a piece of dirt trapped in the fingernail of a giant?"
Or the universe is just a giant mind and we are a virus living inside of it. The thoughts of such an entity would be beyond our comprehension. |

That is until we learn to pool our collective conscience, at which point all will be revealed.
And then we move up a level.. |

But what if we existed in 2 dimensions the flat people that is to say we had length and width but the concept of depth was not known to us? Would we try and find the third dimension? Could we some how make the journey into the world of depth a dimension that exists but not one the flat people can see? |

The trouble with that theory is it's no more illuminating than thinking it was created by the supernatural... I mean what does the giant brain live in, a body? What's the body in... It's just an ancient repetitive way of trying to explain something we can't grasp right now! |

The physical form is energy, it's just a different form of it!.
Your atoms don't die, you do, they go on to form lots of other stuff, the truth is you've always been part of the universe and you always will be, the six most abundant elements in the universe are what hydrogen, helium, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, sulphur?.
Helium is chemically inert so that apart, you'll also find that the six most abundant elements in living things like humans are also hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorus.
It's not a coincidence! |

I'm saying I find it easier to say it's something I don't know than to make things up that fit with a logical conclusion of me wanting to live forever! |

 Carbon is the most important element to living things because it can form many different kinds of bonds and form essential compounds.

Becoming a pencil would be quite relevant. I might stipulate that |

Yes so carbon has more bonded structures than all the other elements put together thanks to its chemical ability....
However there wouldn't be any carbon without hydrogen and helium, the basic building block of the stars which turn those two elements into all the others... Apart from that were mostly water and water is h2o....I like being hydrogen, it gets its name from the Greek hydro (water) gen(forming)..... Now what's your definition of water sports |
