I think that nothing can create itself so something must have created the first atom even to big bang believers but then I wonder how was that created and eventually comes out to me believing something created that and if so why did it create that? Confusing... |

Time is like... time is like a highway. Everything can't go at the same time or else a crash would happen, but if it went too fast or too slow the whole part of the time highway that is behind that part that alters, what is behind it, which is the past, comes slowly, yet the future goes faster, while the present goes evenly.Think of it this way, the reason it takes us some time to remember is because if we remember Everything at the same time, we would... well... crash on the highway. So if it went to slow we would be a vessel, but with no mechanic. So the present goes exactly the right speed, or else we would crash, and... wow this is confusing. |

Cheese84o6, have those physicists who claim there is a "spiritual aspect to the universe and humanity" put their evidence and research into well-respected scientific magazines and had their information peer-reviewed by scientists across the board? You put forth this "fact" without backing it up with links. |

The internet isn't the best place to debate because no one can do it unbiased. Your not on the spot, and you can find evidence that supports your idea and yours only, without having to deal with others. Arguing with others over incidents is pointless because everyone's mind is made up before they hear the other side. Being with someone in person can have a lot of sway because your not trapped in your own world where you are the only one right. I gave up trying to talk to people because of this, whether I was right or they were, because your not inclined to believe them, or you dont want to. |

Cheese84o6, I'm wanting to expand my mind with individual research - can you tell me which physicist you spoke to about this to help me with my search? |

Yep, mysteries indeed! I feel you can claim to know all you want about this, but I don't think anyone has the full picture yet.OMG opie, I am so playing that game with someone now! Thank you for another way to mess with the minds of others! |

I'm not trying to deride you, Cheese84o6. I'm just saying that if you want to make a statement and pass it off as fact, you should be prepared to cite your sources of information. You can't expect other people to believe your claims if you do not support them. And when you don't, I fail to see the point of your post (because you're obviously not making an earnest attempt to persuade others). I am open to the idea of changing my mind but only in the face of reasonable evidence. Nothing I've seen points to any physicists uncovering evidence for either the spiritual or supernatural."...but your not my professor, so I don't have any requirements to meet." Everyone has the burden of proof (the requirement) when they wish to persuade someone of anything. |

"If there exists such research in science, you should have no trouble looking it up and providing links.
Doesn't work that way. You make a claim, you should be prepared to defend it against scrutiny, not expect your audience to look it up for you. As far as I know there is no such research\evidence."I'm sorry, doesn't work that way, if your curious you will look it up, as you can tell, I'm to lazy; this is do to the fact that I don't care if you beleive me or not. I don't mean to be caustic, but your not my professor, so I don't have any requirements to meet. I would think that if your so educated as to have intellectual requirements of others, you would want to expand your mind by doing your own independent research. |

There's this game that I play on people who have never heard of it before. I tell them that I have a story to tell them and they have to guess what happens in it with yes or no questions. What they don't know is that I don't have a story, I'm only answering yes or no depending on whether the last letter of their question is a vowel or a consonant. So when they figure out that there isn't a story, they try and ask questions about what's making me say yes and no. But, I'm answering their questions still applying the rules of the game.And THAT, good sir, is like trying to analyze your own consciousness. Anyone get it? |

The Tunguska Explosion seems a bit mundane when compared to consciousness or time. |

"Consciousness is a result of our spirit, physicists, especially quantum physicists, are discovering that there is a spiritual aspect to the universe and humanity."If there exists such research in science, you should have no trouble looking it up and providing links. "Actually I know this from word of mouth by physicists, but if you google it you will find a lot evidence and a lot of controversy." Doesn't work that way. You make a claim, you should be prepared to defend it against scrutiny, not expect your audience to look it up for you. As far as I know there is no such research\evidence. |

"I always found the mind to be a very interesting thing. I can't see how it could just 'switch off' after you die."Think about it this way - your mind was in the off position for the entire time up until your brain started developing in the womb. It will be the same way again when you die. |

> I can't see how [the mind] could just "switch off" after you die(Takes off Christian hat for a few minutes and puts on Scientist one) Doesn't EVERY electrical device switch off the moment you turn the electricity off?? Your mind is a bioelectric computer parallel processing at megaspeeds thanks to some clever wide bussing and incredible relational databasing links, but it doesn't have an external backup. Shut off the power, for example when the body ceases to generate electricity, and it doesn't work any more. |

It's called decomposition. |

vv "rofl @ the f_cking cavalcade of self-important, uninformed, pretentious pseudoscience that is this comment section. I absolutely refuse to read these things; they're always written FOR people who could never understand the subject BY people who could never understand the subject. It’s the blind leading the blind, sans blind plus stupid. All I get out of this poo is garbled and confused versions of untested, abstract theories.
Also, THE UNIVERSE doesn't tend to elude me, no matter how complex it is. I'm pretty fast."Wow, cranberry, thanks for enlightening us with your profound intellect. *Checks cranberry's profile, expecting to see Occupation: Astrophysicist. Instead finds the statement "so amazingly sexy youre head could quite possibly explode".* Kid, I strongly suggest you try to master basic written english before you wax lyrical on how stupid and uninformed everyone else is. You might just avoid looking like a dick next time. |
