Re: One big happy family.

Well I wasn't actually making a claim, I was asking a question

Hasn't it been proven? Then I continued with an expression of disbelief - god knows how. I think Garinda was agreeing that scientists have made the claim, not that he personally has discovered this to be fact.

It is scientists who have made the claim.

Re: One big happy family.

Next we'll be discussing the beginning of time and what happened before time began. :D

Re: One big happy family.

Well if we're discussing random theories we might as well start on 'time' since nothing about that can really be proven.

Excuse me? Nothing can be proved about time? I was here yesterday, so far, I am here today, if I concern myself with tomorrow it has yet to be proven that I will be here, but, time, it does go on with us or without us.

Aren't these parts of time that exist? Or are we all just some twisted part of your imagination?:eek:

Re: One big happy family.

And while I'm on the subject - who has defined 'yesterday', 'today' and 'tomorrow' - these are just names for concepts that were defined 1000 years ago when scientists believed the world was flat - who's to say they were right about time? They just haven't been proven wrong yet!

that would probably be the same people who decided trees are beautiful ...and now generations later it is instilled in us..

Yep, and the same ones who have decided that blue is blue and green is green - but who can say that we're all seeing exactly the same thing and there's no way of proving it.

When though?

When you thought what you were about to post. When you wrote and finished it with a full stop? Or when we read your post?

Time is only a concept, not a science. Scientists have said so, so it must be true.:D

All this may be a fleeting brain wave in someone's dream.

This used to be one of my favourite subjects. Just because we both call it green doesn't mean that I see what you see. I might actually be seeing the colour that you call red.

The ancient greeks didn't define colours as we do which is amazing to me.

I also find it quite incredible that a century or so ago the Lake District was regarded as wild and ugly and a part of the country to be avoided at all costs with all those nasty high mountains and wet horrible meres and waters. How opinions do change.
