Scale of the universe

Pacecil Here is another one for you, was it God or evolution? I believe in God but I also believe even He had to start somewhere.

alinwa..... "Now THERE'S some liberal pap!" No, that's quantum mechanics pap!

joe salt....."was it God or evolution?" Depends on whether your mind is working intellectually or emotionally and whether you have created a world that is following natural laws or one running supernaturally.

Someone asked...."If a car was going at the speed of light and the headlights were turned on - what would they look like?"
The light would act like the shock wave that spreads out from a bullet. Directly in front of the car you won't see light because it can't be transmitted to you faster than the speed of light, just like the sound or pressure wave can't be transmitted ahead of the bullet faster than the speed of sound. You would see light from the side of the car, again just like you hear sound spreading out from the side of the bullet. You have to be traveling along with the car at it's velocity otherwise you will just see a flash.

Then Jackie also asked whether things really had color. The answer is..No. Color is a result of a surface reflecting light - the color is in the light not the surface. If we have no light everything is black - which is the absence of color.
Finally the big question was: What's beyond the boundary of our universe, assuming it has a boundary. The answer is: It's whatever you imagine it to be in your mind. Just like God is whatever you imagine him to be. Some imagine beyond the boundary is nothing, just like some imagine there is no God. Others imagine it to be another dimension, or Heaven, or the realm of the gods. All these answers represent reality for the mind they come from. The idea there is some other TRUE reality is false. Each observer, or mind, forms a true reality.

Pacecil,
Here is a physicists explanation(not me): there is no such thing a color. What there is are different wavelengths of light. Human evolution and the development of the eye, optic nerve and brain interaction to light produces color in our mind...the brain interprets the eye's response to different wavelengths of light as different colors. The light has no color, just different wavelengths. Think about color blind people. They just can't interpret the different light wavelengths as color...just grey scale. Color is in the mind of the beholder. --greg
