@dark coder
Okay, it was not the best written, but I sure would like to hear a reasonable justification of the Big Bang theory.

@thenerd
Did you get my point at least?

@Thecomet
I am not saying they are related. I am just trying to get you to do some real, in depth, factual research. Then look for what is both most probable and best for the human society. You can pick what you want, but at least you know my pick.

So, get that coffee off your monitor!

PS
I thought your avatar was very representative of you reaction.


uuhh... yah...

Also, DeadTom, that signature is way too tall. It sort of gets in the way...

I stopped time once... nothing happened.

If you somehow create a "time bubble" in which you could move around even though time stood still everywhere else, this bubble would need air because you wouldn't be able to breath particles that are frozen in time - something like a space suit could work. If you think about it you would need to master interdimensional travel/manipulation because if there is no time then all objects cannot move, to move an object in frozen time it would have to have been there at that moment, i.e. in an alternate universe or timeline!

sorry for the bump, but...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno%27s_paradoxes#The_arrow_paradox
Quote: "In the arrow paradox (also known as the fletcher's paradox), Zeno states that for motion to occur, an object must change the position which it occupies. He gives an example of an arrow in flight. He states that in any one instant of time, for the arrow to be moving it must either move to where it is, or it must move to where it is not. However, it cannot move to where it is not, because this is a single instant, and it cannot move to where it is because it is already there. In other words, in any instant of time there is no motion occurring, because an instant is a snapshot. Therefore, if it cannot move in a single instant it cannot move in any instant, making any motion impossible."

So if you can't change state in a moment (from living to dead), then you wouldn't die!
