we cant exist in a space where there are no laws, because were formed in a space that runs solely on law. same as us not being able to survive without oxygen or water because we evolved using it.
so we cant cheat all the laws at once, which would be required to pass through universe's. all of it is possible, but theres a reason its impossible to see a black holes exact center, the singularity. it would break the laws and destroy physical space. (im sure you know this but for others sake, the singularity is the exact center of a black hole and defies all laws and principles of physics. until recently, when we theorized an energy source blocked it from actual contact from our existence, it was the main reason we thought black holes were not possible.)
"god" could be rationalized as the human paranoia complex. when something bad happens to you, someone else caused it. we may not know what to look for because he may be a spectre born from paranoia. works in reverse too.
both of us question pretty much everything we come across, thats why were intelligent, and, well, argumentative. but if you question everything, where your basis? you cant learn from a hypothesis if you dont have a control test. he wont know what a real answer is if he questions everything.
btw, i have no clue what were debating about anymore. physics, god, or jinx?
You're assuming, of course, that we will never physically change. If you had to sacrifice your body to explore the far reaches of the Universe, would you? Would you send a man made of flesh and blood into the void or would you send someone who was both man and machine? Or something entirely different, but equally resilient? Water and oxygen won't always be required by humanity, so it makes for a poor argument.
I'm not sure where you're going with describing a black hole. A singularity is simply the point at which our equations of general relativity break down, so would it make more sense to say it's impossible to truly understand a black hole or would it make more sense to say general relativity isn't perfect and at this point in time, it does not explain everything that exists? I'm going for the latter due to my belief that given enough time, there isn't a single thing that we can not learn or understand.
I'm not sure how my idea of a supreme being would fit in with this supposed "paranoia" as I neither attribute happy events nor sad events to such a being. I tend to think that if a being such as God exists, it'd be completely neutral and/or would have better things to do than screw around with lower sentient life forms.
Questioning the existence of a supreme being of some sort isn't a matter of hard facts and science. It's closer to philosophy than anything else, which is also where I think the concept of a God originated from. What was once philosophy became dogma after being bastardized throughout the ages.
Going back to Jinx's thing, if a supreme being did exist, I would imagine it'd have to be infinite. Why would the creator of the laws of the Universe also be subject to them?
I've pointed this out before, but the Universe is growing. If something grows or shrinks, it must mean it is finite. If the Universe accounts for all space, then would that not mean space is also finite? And as I stated before, we believe time to have existed only after the big bang. This gives time a beginning. If the creation of the Universe created time, then I would think it'd be fair to assume the death of the Universe would also "kill" time, giving time an endpoint. So in that respect, time, too, is finite.
What I'm saying, Jinx, is we view things as having a beginning and an end, because the birth of everything we know of came about through the big bang and will "disappear" once the Universe is no more. On that scale, basically everything in our Universe is finite.
That's our basic understanding of the Universe, anyway. If you think about it, we're only viewing one layer of our Universe at any given time, so we can't state anything for certain (although people will do so anyway, because facts never change o.0).
But really, stop with the videos. They aren't helping anyone.
@ Sicron: I'm not sure how the two are mutually exclusive. One being infinite does not automatically carry over to the other. If a supreme being created the Universe, that right there shows his creation to be finite in nature. Because the Universe, itself, is finite, everything within this Universe must also be finite, because nothing can rise higher than its source, if you will.
