Exige - the answer may well be "bOObies" - and I accept that as a possibility... Just as I accept that "42" may, actually, be the answer to life, the universe and everything... The bible is probably wrong - Douglas Adams might have been right after all...
Seriously? you dont really believe this do you, you are surely just having some good sport to pass a boring day. Do you really believe that the notion of good and bad comes from a supernatural sky uncle. They are not christian values ( other cults are available from the app store) . They are values. Written by men to control men.
Sorry John, I missed the middle bit. Works been hectic and ive missed out on a lot of the banter recently.
Now you are trolling. I was referring specifically to the planet Earth and our knowledge of it, as you well know. You have chosen to misrepresent this deliberately as being about 'understanding everything about the universe' which is a very different matter. If you are prepared to come back to engaging in rational debate, you are welcome as far as I am concerned. But if you want to go down the road of absurd trolling, as it appears, then you're on your own. Sorry.
He has adopted a particular position, and refuses to accept the possibility that his position might be wrong. He has placed himself into a paradox, which is quite funny really.
Donald Rumsfeld is quite a nasty man, who said many objectionable things. Oddly enough the one thing for which he is most remembered and ridiculed is pretty rational.
At least JohnV got the joke, this guy had clearly no idea that velocity is crucial, he was stating that the mere fact he was in space was the reason for his time slowing down relative to his girlfriend stuck in a Glasgow boozer. The fact that Apha Centauri was mentioned was probably to impress further that not only had he thorough grounding in relativity, his astronomy wasnae bad either
With all the known knowns, known unknowns, unknown knowns and unknown unknowns in the world - I think it's fair to say that the one thing we definitely do know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, totally and undeniably is that Pete will never admit that he could possibly be wrong. Sadly this is the mindset of someone who is firmly rooted in accedemia, and far from advancing education and science it actually stiffles them. Refusing to accept other possibilities makes people narrow-minded and prevents further advances...
