No body is as good as consciousness unconstrained
Though the gnostics would say material existence itself is cruel and whatnot but I'm more life affirming than that
They also have other weird ideas about a monad and an imperfect monotheistic creator god which is cruel called the demiurge
i thought you were an atheist nessel, guess your a deist then
No
Technically a polytheist but I don't actively worship or make a big deal out of it
Deism would imply me buying into the prime mover argument, which I don't
I think a cyclical universe has been disproved
the universe will die a heat death before it reunifies through gravity
The expansion of the universe I think is something beyond what we can concieve
as it implies there is something beyond it
yeah but expansion might be fake and gay
just because it is expanding at an accelerating rate (allegedly) now doesn't mean that will always be true
There's a lot of uncertainty in it
There's many ppl who buy the expansion theory, others believe it'll shrink again and collapse, others with a big rip and all sorts of weirdness
I don't really believe a lot of the super-weird astrophysics stuff anymore
I could see the argument for expansion based on the observable distances etc. and background radiation
At a certain point it just becomes a masturbation of mathematicians
yeah well the thing is, we can't actually observe the expansion of space like that
it's way too slow
Because matter couldn't have moved faster than light so some expansion must've happened
well we don't really know that you can't go FTL either
Well yes it's kind of the orthodox view though
it might be true now but may not have always been true
perhaps the speed of light can change as well
Whoa
Say FTL can happen and a lot of labcoats will ree autistically
maybe you cannot go faster than light, but maybe the speed of light is not always the same
Anybody follow the Dem primaries?
not really
I found a cursed meme about Amy Klobuchar
I saw the DNC cucked Bernie as expected
Light Speed is actually a bit of a wrong term
with booty judge
It's not just light moving this fast
what do you mean?
What on Earth?
Gravitational waves, electromagnetic radiation, massless particles etc.
It's seen as the maximum speed at which information/matter can travel
Only exception being the universe itself expanding faster than light
Which would imply us never being able to get to certain Stars which would get more distant even if we could travel speeds approaching that of light
