The Fabric of Reality ...

[epepke]

So, are atoms, regarding their basic componets -- electrons, protons, neutrons, etc. -- perfect? I mean if you were able to isolate each of these individually from each other, would they all be identical (same size, shape, mass and whatnot) without any imperfections? It's interesting because it seems like we only refer to them with respect to their atomic number (or quantity). Does this imply a state of perfection within each atom then? If not, then what characteristic would you say energy owes its indestructibility to? Or, if such imperfections do exist, is the fabric of reality pretty much contingent upon this "numbers game," and its strict adherence to atom weight?

The problem with what you write is that you write things that would be interesting and worthy of discussion were they asked by a person interested in discussion and learning.

So, what if the fabric of reality was, in effect, perfect? You wouldn't care to postulate any ramifications towards that?

I, me, myself, personally, (don't you love tautology), thought it was meant to be a metaphorical representation of man's inhumanity to man.

Really? I thought the cartoon was a fart joke.

Hmm...I guess that is a representation of man's inhumanity to man.

Well, so what if it is? I suppose it would mean that reality is as real as it can be, but little else. What do you postulate as ramifications of that (ramifications come from something not to it)?

Oh Merv.

You should have gone with cotton...

Can we talk about kittens now?

Ask and ye shall receive. . .

Happy New Year, one and all!

And, just because I'm a generous kinda guy, here's one more. . .

On the internet, this kitten picture is universal. Therefore, it is perfect. What are the implications of there being a perfect kitten picutre?

 

[Psiload]

Oh no! Kitty strayed into the minefield! Watch out, kitty!

 

[DrMatt]

Except for the fact that they are all woven from the same fabric. All this does is spell the fact that there is an intention behind the Universe.

That's just the point. They're not woven at all. They're tremendous lanes of pure filth.

By way of illustration, consider this view of our own neighborhood.

There's so many kitchenfulls of dust there, it isn't even funny any more.

Woven schmoven.

Somebody once sent me a copy of that picture with the caption "Every time you masturbate, another kitten dies."

As good a reason as I've ever heard for encouraging teenagers to have sex. "Save a kitten - screw your girlfriend!"

Another one appropriate for New Year's:

Yep, seen it. And I saw one that said "Every time a woman masturbates, God gives the world a kitten. Please, think of the kittens."

 

[Xeriar]

It was a puppy, silly.

And there was also

"Every time you post that [censored] picture, God kills a domo-kun. Please, think of the Domo-kuns."

Because I enjoy kitties so much, I hereby post a picture of my own personal kitty. Behold the glory that is. . . Gandalf!

Am just curious about how uniform reality is at this level, that's all.

See QM.

Since they obviously don't all go poof at the same time, something is not "perfect" (by your definition), but that doesn't mean the "imperfection" is not somewhere else.

Not a silly question perhaps, but probably as pointless as asking how many angels fit on the head of a pin.

That is a very fine cat, but it is hardly a kitten. Kindly stick to topic!

I would and have, but I would be sure to do that in the presence of people who were actually interested.
