Also, multiple quoting doesn't disrupt the board (lol) it just disrupts your moro...err, challenged mind. Icey uses them all the time so I think he'd have something to say about you banning him. The fact is you are just itching for an excuse to ban me because I showed that all your arguments are wrong. Why should you bother about that?However, he did put a warning saying he would ban the next person to multiquote... and as far as I can tell, thats you son... Its not a direct thing against you, it just disrupts the flow and makes the whole page so fucking vast! There is not need to have the whole argument re-quoted here many times for you to be proven wrong. Now, give me a good reason not to give you a week away from the place for disregarding a direct request from me? Oh, and calling me a moron, or saying that my actions go against the law of physics wont help you! And again, so you know, my posting my name after every post is a bad habbit i picked up from the site powerup days. Back then you had to put your name at the end so people knew who posted. And i'm not changing it for you, or anyway, so get a wash! Furthermore, if your so cool and hard and such a fine figure of a man, why would someone you consider a worthless geek on an internet forum in cyberspace cause you any grief whatsoever? I thought you had better things to do? Don't you? Is arguing with geeks all you do all day? groovealex wrote: Cerbera wrote: Linked Article wrote:Help! I'm totally lost in this topic! Can someone please sum it up in three sentences because there'S no way I'm reading all that stuff? These are the breaks: Physicists say regions within event horizons are effectively in other universes, which is interesting. Cerbera disagrees, basing his ass-ertion on the definition of the word universe, meaning all-containing or 'one container', and claims this definition is physical fact, which is stoopid. I say he's a creepy greaseball who's regularly outwitted by people who are both funnier and smarter; and his most cutting response is to criticise spelling and grammar errors. Ouch. According to some recent work of mine, the answer is that they go off into a little baby universe of their own. A small, self-contained universe branches off from our region of the universe. They've moved the goalposts! I was watching Hardtalk Extra this morning with Michio Kaku, who was also talking about "baby universes" and explained why the definition of the word had been changed. It is still very theoretical, so the old definition of the word is just as (or even more) valid than the new one. If you still don't grasp semantics, then just replace my use of "universe" with "cosmos" and that should make it easier on you.The way language works is that definitions are simply an agreement upon the concept indicated by a complex sound or a set of drawn patterns. Any word can mean anything and often means different things to different people, sometimes meaning several things all at once. Language is a human invention to allow the communication of ideas, it is not an interdimensional sledgehammer which re-forms the cosmos according to what buttons you press on a keyboard or what notes you strike as you speak. The words are in not bound to the thing they describe, they are just conveiniant ways to represent those things. As such, the definition of a word can be absolutely anything and it will be a valid word, since it just a representation of an idea. In this way, defining the "Universe" as "all which exists" is entirely valid since, for a start that is what it means anyway, and also that existing words can be given more localised or technical definitions so that new words do not need to be created. In this sense, one could define "turnip" as being "all that exists" and it would be entirely valid, since it just means that within that conversation references to "turnip" meant "all that exists" and not "a root vegetable." It's a bit like algebra, where one uses letters to represent numbers which are not strictly bound to any particular entity, they are merely ways to represent ideas. In language words merely represent ideas. "Universe" represents the idea of "all that exists" - or at least it did in this conversation. If you find "cosmos" a more comforting word then by all means use that, the important thing is to understand what is being represented because the word is just the formal device through which that representation is communicated. BTW, that was a good try at option 3. Seriously. :Y ------------------
