"Dark Star". Sci-Fi-Film in which an astronaut tries to teach phenomenology to an intelligent bomb to convince it not to explode. First movie by John Carpenter. No budget - but lots of humour.

Hi Matt24, i understand you look out for some meaning in life. Maybe an older post of mine might be of entertaining inspiration. It´s titled: Planet We - A new approach towards the meaning of life (Sorry, i would have posted the direct link but i don´t know how to do it. You might have to search for...

... then it is obvious that there is an infinite number of universes in which a certain event x occurs. At the same time there is an infinite number of universes in which the given event x does not occur.

An interesting bit about galaxy movement: Scientists found a tendency of near superclusters to move into one and the same direction while far superclusters don´t. They called this phenomenon "The Great Attractor". Here´s some more Wikipedia-Info about it: "The Great Attractor is a gra...

Dear dimebag, 1. to put it short: to me the meaning of life has a lot to do with how we manage to develop mentally (Part 1) and how we individually are connected to a greater whole (Part 2). I didn´t want to establish a new religion but create new inspirations along a way of thinking i happened not ...

But if this is the given model: big bang - expansion ...

@reasonvemotion: Thanks for the info ... i didn´t know that there´s already a label for this technique. :shock: @VoT Give it purpose, a purpose which makes sense and is allowed to express itself, and it might surrender from any unwillful acts. Thanks VoT for your insightful replies. I especially agr...

When i came home friday 13th evening, my bad cat Roger prepared a little surprise party for me: Somehow he slipped out of his room and messed up my own timespace with an almost perfect chaos. ME (with quite some fear-based anger): Now what the DAMN happened here...?!? ROGER (smiling innocently): Oh,...

Dear friends, here´s a bit about how to deal with The Great Inhibitor, namely fear. It´s a simple psychological reprogramming mechanism but turned out to be somewhat effective in the past. Maybe you might get something from it. Enjoy :-) PART 1: The final encounter I have a daydream. In that daydrea...
