This is part two, the first part was about everything this part is about nothing. It is only available till tonight though - BBC iPlayer - Everything and Nothing: Nothing


Peace,

wish I had time to watch this, ta

Watching it now 14mins in, pretty pretty good. cheers

better than school.

The BBC science unit (which I just invented) is getting pretty good at elegantly describing complex issues to the common man recently.

love mind-bending stuff like this.

So, nothing is everything and everywhere. Everything we understand comes from nothing, yet there can't be "nothing" as the very notion of nothing implies that it must be something. There is just the one electron in the universe and the universe IS this one electron... oh and there is no such thing as free will

That one electron thing doesn't pan out unfortunately (I got pretty excited when I first heard about that too).

Nothing is nothing, that is true. But the one thing that remains when everything else is removed is possibility. Love that.


Bet you wish you watched that shit high, Chillem. You fucking quitter!

... and leave that free-will shit at the door, don't want to rattle Midas' latest self-incarcerated philosophical cage.


Peace,

Now why didn't I think of that!

Next time baked = unified theory of everything (and nothing)

How did you know what my middle name used to be?

Would have watch this K but the bbc have decided to take it down 7 hours early...

I just discovered that instead of a nice and easy contact email they instead have a bunch of faqs and a forum.. Ok, that's annoying but I'll give it a go instead... Oh wait, the forum is only accessible between 8am and 10pm because they actively moderate every single post, talk about overkill. Why pay moderators when they could just mod up the most active members of the community. What a waste.

I watched the entire thing and at no point did they make the claim 'The universe is an electron....called Kieth' The universe is not a giant electron, or is it? No. Maybe it is, particles don't fucking exist thats for sure. Its all wave energy. Surf Kieth the giant electron to the planet of hands, the centre of the universe, the vortex of purple mind rivers. not an electron.
