How do you not upvote that?

"Who's kid is that?" "I don't know, he drove himself here"

Also, close up scenes in porn require soft sticks.

As a white person, I'm not offended at all by Genji's comments. I don't take anything he says personally. I also think I understand where he's coming from. I don't know him so I can't TRULY understand, but I've had my own experiences which seem to make me understand what he's saying.

It would appear to me that the "head" is sitting on the body, not needing to be connected physically at all. Keeping in mind it is also remote controlled, I'm sure it has a "segway" type gyroscope/computer system to keep it from falling off, but the independent ability from the operator to spin it, or move it around on top of the body. And indeed the interior of the body would have it's own little wheeled robot, just like a hamster ball. That's my 2 cents.

I wonder...if I take viagra....in a vacuum...in space, could I spin like a top?

When I get my 3D printer set up, I'm going to print me a tiny 3d printer, and then use that to print an even smaller version...

Dark energy hasn't been measured. We don't observe it. We observe effects of something. It is still unknown what it is, or if it really exists.

And don't put words into my mouth.

ZERO evidence of dark energy or matter... those are a part of the model you believe to be absolutely correct?

The computers were an analogy. I guess I'm done. I cannot converse with such close minded individuals for very long. If you can't think outside the box, then I have nothing more to add.

I'm not making up the definition, I'm stating my simplified interpretation of it, which by the way, doesn't counter anything you said.

You seem to think for other "universes" to exist, ours must have some physical boundary at the edge that we can observe. And crossing that would be the only way to get into another universe?

I'm simply saying that a place with a totally different set of physical laws, whether that resides in our universe, or we reside in it, can exist. We aren't able to rule that out.

There is also the possibility that another universe with the same physical laws can exist, but again, impossible to get to or observe.

Let's say I have a computer simulation of a world with no boundaries and AI lives in it. Wouldn't I then be able to duplicate that program, and run it on another disconnected computer? How would these two AI's interact with each other? Know about each other? Even if they are exact copies of each other? Yet inside their world, they have no detectable boundaries.

Let's say they figured out there was another "copy", it wouldn't ruin the physics of their world at all. It would just have to introduce to them the concept that something OUTSIDE their universe exists.

I'd love to get in on this conversation because this subject really interests me. This video touched on a lot of interesting theories.

@robdot - I don't understand people who think they "know" the answers to the universe. There are unanswered questions in every model. Do you know the answer to what dark matter and energy is? Nobody has yet detected it. Yet, our "universe" is supposedly filled with the stuff.

Let's also define what a universe is. My definition is; it's a place governed by the same set of physical laws.

So we have "our" universe, that we hypothesize about through our observations and measurements. We have theories that say "other" universes exist in some form or another. If their physical laws are different then ours, there would probably be no way to observe them, and therefore no way to prove their existence. Lack of proof is not proof that it doesn't exist.

I could write a book on what i "think" about what our universe is. For simplicity, let me just say that I moved from telecom engineering to software architect. In software, we create programs to run simulations. We create vast game worlds with whatever "physical" attributes we want to program into them. Lets assume we created artificial intelligence. In what context would "it" live? Most everyone assumes it would just be one conscience interacting with us in the form of a robot (Que cheesy Hollywood films).

Let's give it the power of quantum computing. It then decides to understand us (it's creator), it needs to program a simulation that mimics all it knows about our physical world. It wouldn't make one simulation, run it and be done. It would make many simulations, probably simultaneously, tweaking each new one based on the results of the previous ones.

Just imagine where this could lead. This intelligence could figure out how to create a multitude of different, very elegant universes. Its time scale would be different then our time. It's simulation could take seconds on its viewing scale, but appear to be billions of years when observing from within it. We have the power to pause, rewind, replay, tweak our simple creations. Imagine what this super intelligence could do with theirs?

Probably because the girls are cute and bubbly? That's my guess.

How much energy is wasted on the charger versus what is being fed into the actual phone?

I see what you did there....
