Topic of conversation?

[nacktman]

What are some of the topics you'd like to see discussed?

Seems to be getting a bit stagnant.

[tinner666]

We could talk about the dangers of using extract hot sauces and what happens if you don't wash BEFORE going to the rest-room! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/laugh.gif

[nacktman]

That would be a Burning Sensation of a topic wouldn't it tinner666! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/laugh.gif

*****

Anyone else got any ideas?

[nekkidincville]

don't ever...i mean ever let anybody talk you into applying "icyhot".... http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/sick.gif http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/shocked.gif

Been there, done that. Learned my lesson the first time.

Don't recommend it to anyone. Well, maybe a few people I know!

String theory and its implications for our perception of reality and religion.

Did Cartesian philosophy pre-suppose the unification theory?

[alfredr]

Lots of topics: Any and all of our interests besides nudism.

Classic sports cars.
I have two: 1975 BMW 1502 and 1973 Porsche 914
Musical instruments and anything related
Low brass is my area of interest
Drum and bugle corps. DCI championship in Madison Wisconsin. Any one going? I have sons in Spirit and Phantom Regiment. We went to Foxboro last year and stayed at a nudist resort, our first overnight. Looking forward to doing the same for Madison. I need to learn to camp, though. I know nothing.

Jobs. I work in home construction.

Other interests:
Apparently there are some farmers here. I am a former farmer too. Grew up an a farm, still read some farm magazines. Just bought a house and 21.6 acres of woods, zoned agricultural so I guess I'm a farmer again?

Like I said, plenty of topics.

[Bob S.]

I am with usmc. String theory is an intriguing topic. Of course there is also the nature of our very existence and the possibilities in the theory of the multiverse.

The multiverse theory is that every decision we make has more than one possible outcome. With the theory, each choice is made in an alternate universe with the respective outcome taking place. In essence, there are an infinite number of alternate universes as every person makes hundreds of decisions per day--of course not all of them have global inplications, but many decisions made over time could lead to huge changes in the timeline.

Within the multiverse theory comes time travel and the ramifications of messing around with the past. What happens if you do change the past? Do you end up creating an alternate reality where you do this? If only one universe existed, then a paradox would occur. What if you did something to prevent your parents from having you? In the multiverse theory, no paradox would occur as a new altetrnate unoiverse would appear without you in it. In the single universe theory, a paradox would occur as you prevented your opwn birth, but without you being alive, no one could go back to prevent your birth.

As a corrolary to the multiverse issue would be discussions of what other dimensions are out there. It is popular theory that the fourth dimension is time, but I don't buy that. Time is interdimensional and lies along a continuum as well as space and who knows how many other existence continuums.

We know what the first dimesion looks like ( length--no width or height) and the second (length and width--no height) and of course we live in the third. But what is the extra dimension that is in the fourth? How about the fifth? How many are there?

We live in the space-time continuum. But what if there are other existence contimuums? There could be others who are outside of the space continuum but live within the time continuum as well as some as yet unknown continuum that is unfathomable to us.

So, any takers?

Bob; Interesting thoughts. I won't respond to all of it but just my little opinion
Yes, I do believe there is more than one universe. Given the BigBang therory, that's quite likely. And the "time-continuem" in each may very well be unique unto itself.

Time travel has been predicted to happen within the next 100 yrs. The ramifications of that are hidden from us. I think it will not be possible to precisely reposition yourself in EXACTLY the same point in a different time. But that's my opinion.
Life on other planets? Look at the numbers and likelyhood. We are not alone and the chances of a more techy planet are VERY good. Although this planet may have been visited by (real) aliens, their ability to remain annonomous has been quite good. ( I noticed the UFO sightings have dropped off when video cameras became popular.)

Just my two cents. Rick

I dunno, if time travel was possible ... where are all the time travelers?

I personally doubt the multiverse (or many worlds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-worlds_interpretation)) theory - where every possible quantum event happens causing a branching of the universe(s). If that were so we shouldn't see any sign of quantum indeterminancy in our 'branch', because we would only see the outcome of the 'decision' that created the local branch. But there is clear evidence of indeterminancy - such as the wave-particle double slit experiment. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment#Quantum_version_of_experiment) - yes I am aware that this very experiment is used by proponents of the MWI to suggest quantum interference between universes.

That doesn't mean there aren't multiple universes, indeed I think they are likely.

We're all right here, Mark, and we're all constantly traveling through time.

"Sting Theory" -- Isn't that what the cat plays with?.

It is an interesting line of thought and if it holds true unto itself then we are at a crossroads now ... which universe will we traverse next?

I like the analogy of an ant farm in a jar sitting on a window sill on a busy city neighborhood block and it is the entire universe contained within ... inside that jar is an ant farm in a jar sitting on a window sill on a busy city neighborhood block and it is the entire universe contained within ... inside that jar is an ant farm...

My latest work truck purchase is named Eddy, partially for " Eddy's in the time space continuum" But I forget if that is from H2G2 or Dr. Who.

[nacktman]

alfredr, what do you expect to raise on your new farm?

[tinner666]

Well, I don't know about time travel, but I continue to use the suggestion box at WTP trying to get management to install a teleport there. And I hope all the other clubs do the same. Any club owners reading this??? Take note!!!
A teleport station will probably pay for itself in a year, without any extra surcharges. The volume of visitors at EVERY club will probably triple within 6 months.

[usmc1]

If one applies string theory to the issue of space/time then "time travel" becomes a poor description since one actually goes nowhere and time as we perceive it does not exist. Hence one can be here and there and nowhere and everywhere simultaneously. Maybe. But, then again, maybe not--we just don't know yet. It is only a theory of existence after all.

But, there are some very deep metaphysical and spiritual implications. For example, if the smalles units of existence are vibratings trings of harmonic sound energy, then the phrase, "In the beginning there was the word and the word was made whole" has a certain meaning that could lead one to think that God spoke all into existence. And that which we perceive to be real is merely one aspect of God's voice.

Have the theorists found God's voice at work?

Underlying all this is the theorists' beliefs that string theory provides the means for a s ingle law unifying all aspects of all physical laws eliminating what are now seen as paradoxes, could one return in time to change one's own diapers?, can God made a rock larger than he could lift?..paradoxes such as those, become meaningless since that which we perceive as real is probably not. A sentence such as, we were created tomorrow would have meaning which could be understood and proven.

I worked in restaraunts for 8 years, one time a chef was grabbing jalapenos froma large can for a recipe, then he went to the bathroom. Big mistake. I teased him about that for months. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/beam.gif

Hey, alfredr, check your PMs. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/anxious.gif

[alfredr]

PM's are new to me. I'm just gettin the hang of this TV in front of the typewriter. I can almost change channels.

[alfredr]

Nacktman: It is already full of trees. I need to manage it, set up a few trails to run naked on, etc. Just spent my first night out there last night. With the 19 year old son. He tells me to put clothes on, but I don't and he gets over it. We painted the laundry room there today, me naked, him not. He has expressed some interest in nudist resorts, but I guess he's not ready to take it all off with family.

And then today my wife and daughter and her two little kids came out and I had to put on shorts for them. But last week we had Jonathan naked out there. He's 2 plus. Amy is 5 months. Adorable kids. Make any grandfather proud. Maybe I can raise them clothes-free!

[nacktman]

Sounds like a plan alfredr.

Good luck ... tree farming can be quite lucrative.
