Title: If you could ask an all-knowing entity three quesions, what would they be?
Post by: on February 13, 2004, 09:53:38 AM
Heheh, mine would be:

1, - Why did the universe have matter win over antimatter at the beginning of time?

2, - What would a universe made of antimatter be like?

3, - If I get you pi$ $ed on booe, can I get some more answers out of you?

1. What would I have to do to be an all knowing entity.

2. How can you prove to me that you are an all knowing entity.

3. Why is a mouse when it spins.

1) are you really an all-knowing entity?

2) are you really really an all-knowing entity?

3) which pie is best?

1. Why does toast always land butter side down?

2. Why do hot dog sausages come in packs of eight but hot dog buns come in packs of ten?

3. Given that mankind is fundamentally altruistically self-absorbed, and given his ostensible animist outlook on the transendental plane of human reasoning and the thought realms it produces, why the f*ck is council tax going up AGAIN?

Magnus Pike wrote a rather nice paper regarding his expermental research into the subject. I urge you to read it.

Isn't that an oxymoron?

2) Can you give me next weeks lottery numbers
3) Can you do give me all your knowledge?

2) the true nature of time
3)?  

@Karlos

I think you`ll find that the universe is currently viewed to be `bounded`....

@jonepike
MAtter and antimatter imbalance was due to Violation of CP Invariance...
In 1967, Andrei Sakharov wrote his landmark paper; "Violation of CP Invariance, C Asymmetry, and Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe" took the dynamic generation of the baryon asymmetry of the universe seriously. He laid out the basic principles needed to understand this asymmetry and how it led to the dominance of matter in the universe. It’s a modification of the Standard Model called super-symmetry; nature should show a new symmetry at extremely high energies. This paper, though slightly cryptic, showed that the violation of CP symmetry is just one of three conditions that must be satisfied to explain how an imbalance arose between matter and antimatter.

How do you know that Matter won? Maybe Antimatter won and our frame of reference is just wrong.

Mine would be only one, but maybe just because I'm having a bad day:

"Hey, you scrawny *** ********, what the **** is wrong with you?! You must be some kind of ****ing ***hole to be able to ignore a crying child!  You know what you ****ing like, you like to !@#$% and !@#$% and !@#$% and !@#$% and !@#$% and !@#$%!"

Or something.

What I wan't to know, is whether the (as yet undiscovered) supersymmetrical elementary particles (quarks) - the so-called 'squarks' exist/existed. The squarks could compose a mirror image of our universe, how cool would that be?
Not 'cool' in the sense of temperature, obviously...

Yea according to E8X E8 super-symmetry breaking there should be a `shadow` universe.

Hmmmmm.....
I'll narrow it down to just three questions:
1. Is the universe expanding or contracting?
2. Is your name REALLY Yahweh or god?
3. Can you make a safe cigarette that smokes JUST like a real one?

Thank you!

@MaDDUck
You asked Is the universe expanding or contracting?

The universe is explanding...
In 2003,  humanity leaned that the universe is 13.7 billion years old.
Discovered by a small satellite named the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) that had been collecting data in an unusual Earth orbit.
 Besides universe age, new data and analyses of the spots on the cosmic microwave background bolstered existing indications that the universe is composed predominantly of a strange and mysterious type of dark energy (73 percent). The remaining matter is only about 4 percent in familiar atoms, with the remaining 23 percent in a somewhat mysterious type of dark matter.
During that year, much cosmological research shifted from trying to find the parameters that define our universe to trying to use these parameters as a tool for understanding details of how our universe evolved...

Yes.  Evidence aside, you should be able to reach the same conclusion logically.  Where does all the crap that 6 - 8 billion people produce every day in the form of pollution go?

It's my belief that washing machines come with a matter transporter, specifically designed to transport paired socks.  Maybe a sock maker is at the bottom of this mystery, or some arch-criminal whose intentions are far greater than creating the lonely nature of unpaired socks.
