2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: How many Sanders supporters were Obama supporters in 2008 [View all]realmirage
(2,117 posts)120. I like existential questions. Why are any of us here?
What is the meaning of the universe?
What happens if you row a kayak into a black hole? Do your particles blend with the kayak's?
If endless universes exist in other dimensions, does this mean that everything you can imagine will eventually become real and thus a smurf village exists in one of those universes right now, or will at some point in the future?
Food for thought indeed.
