doesn't surprise me, still fascinating as hell though

of course its a chair. i can sit on it.

I should have said 'outside the Universe' just to piss you off. I'm surprised you didn't think that getting to the furthest point from Earth would take so long we wouldn't make it there alive. Not to mention the amount of fuel needed. It's almost as if the question was 'hypothetical'.

idk, to me this computer generated simulation of the current stage of the universe's "evolution" is playing to yalls emotions. playing on preconceived ROMEantic ideas without any credible certainty to the claims....all we know is a group of "international astrophysicist" used a (very cheap) computer and put into it their preconceived notions on how it should look, according to what they wanted it to look like. in this cases a mouses brain.

and dat claim by the physicists up top.

It's a fucking chair.

Discussion over.

Yep.

mathematics how does it work????

lmao there probably is some truth behind what mael is posing, but I'd sooner read a link to the article than the abridged netcees.co version, you know?

no offence

I just had a thought about a chair at the edge of the universe.

a single thought which CREATED a new neural pathway.

a single thought activating, neigh, LIGHTING, up regions of my brain.

a single thought sparking new LIFE into single cells --- coming together as a single network for the single purpose of visualizing the single image of a chair at the edge of the universe.
... … …
and that single cell meant the world to that single thought.
and that single thought meant the universe to the cell.

Because in a single moment – the simple idea of a single chair at the edge of the universe created a BIG BANG, or neural synapses, and LET THERE BE LIGHT as they came together as a network in regions of the brain.

some call it the big bang, some call it the word of God

it all began with a single thought.

So it's not surprising seeing some of you suggest we exist in a giant brain belonging to some unbounded creature. Intuition often fails concerning nature.

If an argument is shit on, does that make it a toilet?
