It's Aether not ether, to confuse the two is just stupid,


You missed an excellent opportunity to keep quiet.

Everybody knows that's a paronomasia (except you, it seems, and that's stupid indeed).

It wasn't a very good one, and why should I keep quiet when I have something to say?

And what is your evidence that "everyone knows", do you know everyone?

Who told you it was supposed to be? Another opportunity lost but you have a lot of somethings to tell.

You added this one after I replied. I hope you're finished now.

Of course when someone says "everybody" that means someone knows everybody.

So, that's the case.

No-one said it was supposed to be good, I just said "It wasn't a very good one", so what?

Or do you mean everyone that you know? That makes a difference.

Sure. That's what you said, what I heard and what I replied to.

Any further questions?

You're a little stubborn. You must have been a nightmare for your parents.

That makes quite a difference indeed but I have nothing else to add to what I wrote.

Read the thread again. On rereading we always find things more crystal clear.

Probably, but they weren't very good for me either. I didn't tell them everything, but they used to say that because my brother and I turned out so good, they must have been very good parents. I never told them what failures they were.

It is my understanding that everything (especially on the atomic level) is mostly empty space, so you are correct, we are all mostly nothing at all, just a lot of interacting forces.

That depends on where it is.

I remember listening to Brian Cox interviewed on the radio and he stated that a cubic square piece of empty space has enough energy to power the sun for a 1000 years -of course the interviewer didn't have the intelligence to quiz him as to why\how - still intrigues me, as i have a lot of respect for Brian, and in fact all physicist.

How??

I remember him saying that too. I like Brian Cox, watched all his programmes.

So in essence, we have come out of this space, and will return to it. That is in essence all I can know about it.

But then imagination can play the guessing game, and I think there must exist invisible dimensions unseen and unknown to human perception.
