Does Infinity exist in nature
williamthegreat replied to adam SA's topic in Modern and Theoretical Physics
I guess it depends what you are measuring as 'infinity'. Is the universe infinite, or merely a spec of time on the grand scheme of things? Personally, I do not believe anything is 'infinite' -
A thought on the search for other Earths
williamthegreat replied to Chromed1's topic in Astronomy and Cosmology
Interesting thread. I read a news article the other week that said NASA had inadvertently discovered a way of measuring organic particles from a distance of hundreds and thousands of lightyears away. I haven't heard anything new on it, but surely this is the perfect way? I'll post a link to the article if I can find it -

The Jolly Juggler This one is excellent. Really simple but really really (really) addictive. Fun and free online browser game, worth a play. -
Does our consciousness exist in a higher dimension?
williamthegreat replied to whap2005's topic in Speculations
You articulated much better than I ever could - agree 100% -
People seem to forget all the amazing things NASA provide the human race -it's not all useless exploration, I wish people would understand that - the money is always well-spent IMO

I played Crush the Castle that is extremely addictive! Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedJust got an email from these guys saying i am in the top 3 so could possible win some amazon vouchers circus game I basically rock. I bought a new game for my iphone last weekend called Space Miner. If anyone was ever into Wing Commander Privater or Elite, you might be interested in it, quite fun and also very addictive, get to upgrade your ship etc. Your posts about EVE make me want to play it.... ...i might check it out this weekend but wont let the girlfriend know.. she doesn't like me playing World of Warcraft because I get addicted and then stay up all night -
What's your opinion of NASA outsourcing spaceflight production to other companies? I personally think it's a good move - either that or lose out altogether and forget about it, plus it means it could get more competitive and more and more spaceflights taken (safety would have to be a supreme factor obviously)

I've never played EVE - I get addicted way too easily to some games, and I have a feeling EVE is one of those! -
Well I like Wind, Solar, Hydrogen - anything clean and safe - but I voted for other, just for fun (the other is something not yet designed that is probably just round the corner, fingers crossed!)

Does our consciousness exist in a higher dimension?
williamthegreat replied to whap2005's topic in Speculations
Agh! I could talk about this subject for hours. My interpretation (and very humble this opinion is) - is that consciousness is more than just a physical and chemical process that goes on in the brain. I guess this interpretation borders on the spiritual side, but I like to think that even such a belief is scientifically sound, even if currently unproven -

I'm currently playing WoW and the latest COD. However, at this very second I am playing this quirky little browser game while I should be working knifethrower Have a go if you fancy, it's strangely addictive

Where Does Space End? It Must End Somewhere!
williamthegreat replied to Edisonian's topic in Astronomy and Cosmology
It depends on our understanding of space - what is space? Something must be outside of our view of space, whether it just be more space, or something altogether different we cannot yet observe -
Is Jupiter ALMOST a dwarf star?
williamthegreat replied to dstebbins's topic in Astronomy and Cosmology
Compare the size of jupiter with exo-planets which have already been discovered to be much larger, and I think you have the answer there - even a dwarf sun is gigantically larger -
UK may have to withdraw from the Cassini mission
williamthegreat replied to ajb's topic in Science News
A truly sad state of affairs. I know the ongoing debate about whether we should be spending countless millions in space exploration or the community, but to me space exploration is a must, and leads to better diplomacy between countries and improved technology which can be used in medical fields -
