    Mags - zero interest in this thread unless it involves pics of your wife being a naturalist!

    We'd bring our own heat. We wouldn't survive long enough to see anything reach absolute zero, we'd die watching the spaceship creeper closer and closer to absolute zero, because it would take a long, long time. It may never get there within a finite time span, though I don't know for certain.

    "Space" doesn't travel. If you mean the expansion of the universe, it's expanding faster than the speed of light (which is a restriction on things with mass, not something intangible like the border of the universe) but any space it leaves behind wouldn't theoretically be out of reach.

    So the area in which mass is close to absolute zero would theoretically act as a black hole? I'm not sure I follow you here.



    from what I've remembered reading, the mass isn't moving like you wrote; but the space in between is. Meaning point a to point b moves farther apart (the space between) but the mass doesn't.

    I'm saying that putting something with heat into an absolute zero temperature environment would cause the heat source to cool down quickly at first, but as it approached absolute zero, it would lose temperature very, very slowly and potentially never quite reach it, even as it kept creeping closer and closer to zero.

    I wasn't talking about the ability to warp space to get places, I was answering your question about whether the "space" would be moving at light speed.

    As far as warping space, space still doesn't "travel" at a speed. The (slightly more realistic) idea is that the natural curvature of space could allow for "tunnels" that allow us to get from one spot in the universe to another much much faster than traveling across space conventionally. The other (more unrealistic) idea is that we could bend space at will to bring far away locations closer to us.]

    If you mean all travel involves no motion by mass and all by space, I don't think that's the mainstream belief among physicists. That only makes sense as a possibility if there were a single mass in the universe...when there are lots of masses sharing the same general area and moving independently, it's hard to see how it could be the space moving to accommodate all the different motions.

    According to Douglas Adams dark moves faster than light. Everywhere light gets to, dark is already there.

    True atheists are naturalists. They understand that nature is perfect.

    Scientists are actually the anti-naturalists due to their failure to recognize the perfection in nature, arrogantly trying to thwart the natural process and always causing havoc by doing so.

    IMO the universe and how it came to be is beyond human comprehension.

    Same goes for an afterlife dimention.

    ....If there is one.

    This fact was proven beyond doubt by another Adams.

    Just cause you can't answer every question doesn't mean you can't answer some, and just cause you cant answer every question doesn't mean you can't try. Mankinds nature is to explore. Explore what's over the next hill, what's under the ocean, what's in outer-space, what's behind the numbers or causing an action, it all comes from the same place. I love that place.

    So why is laughing contagious? I read that the energy of laughter or smiles can infect others around to smile and laugh. I read there is some "brain reaction" that takes place that triggers our own brain to release serotonin "feel good hormone" into our receptors

    It's not just laughter. If you yawn, frown, smile, all are somewhat contagious. People are so interconnected and dependent on those around them. Part may be the need to pick up on social cues, so it becomes routine to replicate the mood about you. If everyone else is quiet and concerned with a danger and you are laughing, the man eating tiger dines well.

    Any good conspiracy theories about our governernment mandating we deplete our helium reserves by next year? We produce around 75% of the world's helium, I think the illuminati is putting voice recognition software on the nwo servers in helium voice, then get rid of the helium, then profit
