    It goes something like we are projected from out side the universe were all information is stored. so we have already happening and are now a re run on Dave

    One of the best docs Ive ever seen - mainly due to one particular item - the Double Slit experiement.

    (I know the simley hardly justifies it...)

    I'd never heard of the experiment before but I knew Quantum physics were a little weird but this is absolutly mind-boggling - I never realised our understanding at a quantum level is SO drastically lacking and potentially different to our general understanding of 'Everything'.

    I've been mulling it over literally almost every waking moment since seeing it
    I'm not really sure on my conclusions - and they're definately not something I can convey in any form of coherent text.


    For anyone who has an interest in 'how things work' - watch it for this one bit (I seem to remember it was about 17mins in).
    We talked about this a couple of weeks ago on here. For something to change under observation to me implies sentience mater cannot decide how to behave different.

    Its Gods last horah IMHO. If you prove religion there is no faith. If you prove science there is no faith.

    And you know what Georg Michael said

    You what?

    A black hole is a collapsed star, a huge amount of mass squeezed into a body the size of a pin prick. Black holes tear other matter apart due to them being huge gravity wells.

    It doesn't suck anything to somewhere else, its just hugely dense material. I think you're opposite would be a star, unless you after something that uses gravity to push objects away?

    The Horizon thing ties in quite nicely with Brian Cox's Universe programme as well - it was about entropy last night, which is a big part of relativity

    Cant remember when there were such good, educational progs on rather than the "Big Brothers Celebrity Dancing on Ice got Talent Factor in the Jungle" shit, along with Human Planet these are the best Ive seen in ages.

    The SXOC has a white hole again.

    It is the best thing on TV at the moment without a doubt

    Precisely. That's why we're experiencing these curious time phenomena on the board. .....
