infinity ("both")- *)ways*()

[Vacinden Ragnatrov]

Me..?>thinking about thinking........where do thoughts come from......well actually that doesn't really matter....they are there.....but if you think about what they actually are....they are......electronic pulses......moving**atoms...electrons...and stuff....there is a whole universe of little particles in your head.....above the chaos of the particles we form thoughts....our thoughts are born through this inner-head-universe-chaos.......All these particles consist other smaller particles...and so...on...there is no smallest part and there is no biggest part....At least that is what I think...in infinity there can't be a smallest part...if there is there would be a beginning of it all...thus no infinity....

our thoughts, a biochemical/electrical mechanisms, the carbon based compounds in your head, they were born in a super nova a billion years ago. The oxygen your brain burns, born in the fiery death of a star, just like the gold atoms wrapped around your finger, but only if you are married,, all this, cosmology, astrophysics, i can understand all that,,,but infinity, now i think that's something truly and completely over all of our heads

Just thinking ... on the + side... think you've just about seen the end of "it"
(infinity)... when you grasp the meaning of the end of "it" how much "it" is... now raise "it" to the power of "it", "it" times, then do it again "it" reiterations... "there just ain't no end to it... but if you do get to the "end" of "it", please add 1 to "it"! 8> )

Want to have the same exercise on the negative "-" side of "it"? Only this time cut "it" in half. You can NEVER get to the end, because there is ALWAYS 1/2 left, of whatever you started out with.

Ponder...

I always thought super nova was odd, nova means nogo in spanish.

If you break down every atom, etc.. you will end up with empty space.

Hmm, so that is why I am so sucessful. Must be the flip flops and shorts.

What is interesting is the so-called vacuum fluctuation effect. The energy of anything is not only unknown, but unknowable, by Heisenberg's principle. In a vacuum, particle-antiparticle pairs can form for short periods of time, longer if they're lower energy.

One interesting idea Hawking puts forth is the possibility of "negative energy" existing in the form of gravitational fields I believe it is. If the sum of all the energy in the universe was infinitesimly close to 0, the entire universe itself could be a vacuum fluctuation, spontaneously formed and doomed to collapse before it has outlasted its potential lifespan. Which could be trillions of years.
