So, supposedly the age of the universe is about 14 billion years. But the only reason we believe that is because we can only see something 14 billions years away. Do we just assume that just because we can't see past the 14 billion mark, there's nothing there? And by that assumption, shouldn't...

If energy cannot be created or destroyed, that means all the energy that ever was and ever will be already exists. Wouldn't this mean that the universe has always existed? ..in one form or another. Everything that dies here on Earth goes back to the planet and new life is created. The universe...

Good luck terraforming Mars. Even if we knew a lot more, we would still know nothing. I guess people didn't understand what I was trying to say in my original post. I'm only trying to express that we shouldn't spend our time worrying about the rest of the universe. It's a big boy and can take...

Why can we never leave Earth? Because we don't live for thousands of years and it's impossible to go faster than light. All the science used to explain the universe is theoretical, or in other words, only in our imagination. What could we possibly do to stop something from destroying the...

I specifically said "sciences of the universe (cosmology, astrology, astrophysics)." Maybe I should have excluded Earth. I'm not arguing science isn't an invaluable tool, I'm saying that we use it to try to understand something far beyond our reach. We have so many problems on Earth, that I...

Yes, I do believe the mind and body could exist as two separate entities. As for death, I believe our consciousness could transcend death, but I don't know if we would be aware of it. Perhaps consciousness exists in an infinite stream in some other dimension and when conception occurs, the body...

Pursuit of senseless pleasure and orgies. Electricity and astrophysics are unrelated. If only we did focus on discovering things that could benefit mankind instead of chasing stardust and aliens.

Sciences of the universe seem like a colossal waste of time to me. Do scientists actually know anything (outside of the few laws we've established) to learn anything definitive about the universe? Everything is a theory, meaning it's fabricated and could be absolutely false. Yes, we may have...
