Yes Fanboy... I am part of your imagination!

JK of course, but seriously, it doesn't matter if your world is all part of your brain if your in a coma or something, its still a life.

Hey WAIT, I just thought of the same thing! If I was in a coma, and everybody was, I could just be imagining EVERYTHING! Seriously, everyone around me, they could not have a life, I could just be IMAGNINING THEM!

But life is good for me, so I really don't care

A very deep question if you get into it to an extent, I could only think that people have been posting on benheck, when in fact I'm in the mental ward of some hospital and all this is really coming from my subconscience... Or I could be in a coma right now, that my brain immediately went into to keep my self from realizing I was injured. To keep my brain alive, my body has created a very realistic world around my brain...

hmmm i have wonderd the same thing. And if were in a MATRIX or like that guy in the movie the truman show.

its spooky to think about

Yes, that's actually a very silly concept Ninty came up with.

What would the failure rate of nuclear warheads and delivery systems be?
I mean some of them are decades old and have been on hold for almost that long, is nuclear annihilation even possible, in the practical sense, today?

is the failure rate 20%, 50%, or 10%, what is it after you factor in random stuff like bad weather and interception by antimissile and anti-aircraft systems?

Quite simple actually, it's to make you get Xbox Live! I mean c'mon if it were smaller and lighter so you could just take it over to your budie's house then it would significantly reduce the appeal of the service.

No I'm not joking I really do think the thing was designed with out any real movability because they figured they could make transporting it obsolete (and there fore unnecessary) and make a buck doing so.

Here's one; scientists are always saying that there can't be life on other planets because there are not the basic reqirments for life; ie carbon, water, oxygen, etc. However, is it not possible that organisms on other planets developed their bodies to run on base elements and compounds OTHER than these, like possible a race of people that breathe argon?

And what about anti-matter people? Since for every Earth element theoretically, that element must have an anti-matter version of itself, right? So couldn't there be an entire race of anti-matter people?
Also, what color is anti-matter? When we think of it, we always assume black; but what color is it REALLY?

Then there's spontaneous combustion; an unexplained phenomenon, right? Or could it a result of a squeek of anti-matter entering a human's body? Just some food for thought...

Going back to the whole color thing, I've honestly wondered what it would be like if we could see more than what humans are currently capable of seeing (which we call the visible spectrum). What we are able to see with our eyes is on the exact same thing as infrared and ultraviolet and x-rays - namely, the electromagnetic spectrum.

Night vision cameras manipulate this fact - our eyes can't see infrared, so it's total darkness to us. However, cameras that can see infrared can see everything clearly. It would just be interesting to be able to see "everything" in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Technically, we can see the entire electromagnetic spectrum. We have machinery that allows us to do so, but it converts these findings to the visual spectrum. Theoretically, these things can't be seen, because our brain (that's the linear thinking path all human brains have) will automatically convert those findings to the visual spectrum. Even if we could "hear" or "feel" things like radioactivity, our brains would do so within the visual spectrum. (In theory, at least)

Ha, I thought more about my other post in this thread, and then I realized another thing. Maybe I'm the only person on Earth, and all of you guys are just in my imagination, as well as the computer Im sitting at! Well, unlikely, and its not something I really care about because, as I said before, my life is good. Whether its real or not, I dont care.

Now to get Luc out of my imagination

jk of course

Perhaps my world isn't imaginary, but I am! In reality, I'm a figment of everyone's imaginations simulataneously. Because I am seen and heard by every person around me, I am indistinguishable from reality. I just thought you'd like to know that.

Here's an interesting thought/fact: there is nothing what-so-ever that a human can imagine which can not be related to objects on the Earth. Go ahead, try to imagine something truly alien, and you'll fail miserably.

Anyone can travel into the future; one would simply need to move very quickly. Heck, someone could do it today if they wanted to! However, the only way a person could travel into the past from today is with the aid of a photo album, or a couple of talkative, wise grandparents.

From some points of view, all living things could be considered as complex chemical machines. From another point of view, the Earth as a complex system requiring living space (an orbit), energy (the sun), having a finite lifespan (the duration of our sun), and reproducing within its lifespan (human colonization) would be considered one single living being. Yep, that's right, we humans would be considered little else than the reproductive system of Earth

required to create new fledgeling Earth(like) biospheres on other worlds.
