Life's little questions

[Kraezymann]

Do you ever ponder life or the universe? For instance:

What would it be like if the earth really was flat?

What would it be like if that guy didn't create that first computer?

Life without the internet?

A world where no one knew what fear was?

Life without TV?

Who created the alphabet?

Why are we so uptight about what others are doing?

What if there was no such thing as taste? Sight?

Ask some questions that you would like answered...

Well here's a funny question that people are always asking (but I already know the answer): Why are things always in the last place you look?

Because you stop looking after you find them.

Yes i had ponder about life itself. Many questions i asked, but only left with no answer. Because we can't travel through time, answers for life's question will never be answered. One may think they know the truth, but its challenge is to convince/ prove their theory.

[alainbryden]

If you have the answer to a great question, shut up, because someone will prove you wrong.

Here's something quite cool I thought about today. At school, we were asked to write a letter to ourselves in the future. So let's say this was really possible. It was mandatory for every child of the age of 13 to write to their 40 year old self. The letter is sent into the future and the future self reads it. This itself shows that time in infinite. Jono in the future will never stop receiving letters from himself. Jono sends Jono40 a letter. Then the first Jono turns 40 and get's a letter from the past Jono. The Jono that sent him the letter will grow up to be 40, and get the letter from himself. This goes on and on.

Bit weird, and something you normally wouldn't think about a homework assignment.

i must say that i dont bother with pointless hypotheticals

So then that would mean that your meaning for living and striving is pointless to you Makaveli? Then if you don't feel like you've got a reason to try to answer things, then your life is a complete waste, you'll have accomplished nothing to yourself. I often take the time to just think about certain aspects of life, it's one of my favorite things, the only problem is, I'm contradicting myself everytime with one of the things I've noticed, and that is that there isn't a answer to anything, everything can have a different answer, such as 2 + 2 = Crispus Attucks(Ten bonus points for anyone who knows who he is). I also see that most people don't really understand my train of thought, I guess why I'm not considered one of the "Popular" people or such, because I don't think like anyone else.

Well based on that you are only 13 once

Wouldnt you only get 1 chance to write yourself a letter and 1 chance to recieve it

[dontcareaboutmyid]

i hypothetically think that your thought process on thinking about time travel is thourally trivial and troubling to the point that my thoughts on your thoughts of time travel is just stupid.

Crispus Attucks was the leader of the mob that caused the Boston Massacre.

Re: Life's little questions

What would it be like if the earth really was flat?

Gravity as we know it would cease to function, as the world would no longer be able to rotate on an axis. Well, technically it could, but, it'd be more like what happens if you try to stand up on one of them flat disc spinny-thing rides at a theme park. You can't stay on it, because centrifugal force repells you away.

What would it be like if that guy didn't create that first computer?

It'd be like the 1950s. Not such a bad thing, I think.

Life without the internet?

It'd be a whole lot less interesting, and research papers would be an extreme pain in the ass.

A world where no one knew what fear was?

I don't believe that's technically possible. That would mean that sorrow couldn't exist, either. We fear what brings us sorrow. Without sorrow, there could not be happiness, because one must have experienced both ends to understand the difference between happiness and sadness. Fear is one of those emotions that all conscious things have, whether it be human or animal.

Life without TV?

Politics wouldn't be nearly as interesting, that's for sure. As for your typical TV viewing, I wouldn't miss it. I rarely, rarely watch it anyway.

Who created the alphabet?

Technically, cavemen. It's changed so much since it was first created, that no one would gess a little ox head was an "a".

Why are we so uptight about what others are doing?

As someone who is uptight about what everyone on the face of the planet is doing, I can attest it's to the fact that I wish everyone would do the things God wants them to, so they can experience true joy, because, despite claims to the contrary, I really do care about everyone simply for being human.

What if there was no such thing as taste? Sight?

People would be able to eat heathily without a problem because, hey, no taste. Might as well eat correctly. As for sight, we'd have probably developed some sense of sonar.

[jewpinthethird]

I believe it was the Romans who made the "alphabet" (First two characters being "Alpha Beta" hence the term alphabet). That or the greeks. And I believe it is only the western world (including europe for those of you who dont know what Western means in terms of civilization) that uses an alphabet.

^That guest post was me.

Crispus Attucks was the leader of the mob that caused the Boston Massacre.

Incorrect. He was simply in the mob, and one of the people killed when the British started to open fire. The only reason he is remembered and none of the other people killed is because he was black.

Life without the internet?

I wouldn't be here... spooky...

:P

[jewpinthethird]

Wait...does that mean your parents met over the internet?

Or you just wouldnt be "here" on the forums?
