    Whats the one question that you would love to know the answer to, more than anything else?

    For me it'd be what is time, what makes one moment different to the next, why does it just keep going, and going, and never stop?

    I'd like to know what a tracker mortgage is....or how they get the figs into the fig rolls

    Time is man-made OP. It was humans that created seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years etc. It does not exist in nature.

    Sorry to burst your bubble but there's no such thing as time, at least as it's generally understood. Physicists have been mislead by this quirk of human perception to feel obliged to include it in their theories and our brains aren't developed enough to appreciate the true properties of matter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,707 ✭✭✭batistuta9


    there's an 'arrow of time' though

    What is the ultimate question that leads to the ulimate anwser, of which is 42?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,154 ✭✭✭orchidsrpretty


    I would like to know what really happens when you die. I presums not much but then againwhat about all the people that claim they experienced out if body experiences.

    Also do psychics really see and know what they claim. I know alot are fakes but I have seen one who knew way too much about my life and people who had died to he bluffing. I have it on tape and she definitelydidn't fish for the information neither was I talked into giving things away. I want to believe she was really telling the truth as she said good things about people that had died, but I am such a skeptic.

    Destroy them so they cant pollute the gene pool I would imagine, in favour of a stronger species I would imagine.

    Assuming next weeks lotto numbers are out

    Maybe a second language or how to play an instrument

    The afterlife ones are decent but im quite convinced you just die, end of story.
