Subject: RE: BS: Impossiblity-prove it is possible. From: Bert Date: 02 Sep 06 - 03:36 PM Nope, Peace is right. The thing represented by zero doesn't exist. That's why it's called nothing (NO THING). So it doesn't really have a value. Now it is often convenient to PRETEND it exists, but for true understanding, there is nothing there. |

Subject: RE: BS: Impossiblity-prove it is possible. From: GUEST Date: 02 Sep 06 - 06:05 PM I'l ask you a question, by saying zero is nothing you made an absulute assertion, by you saying zero cannot be something you yourself are setting an apsolute impossibility. Is impossible for zero to be something or is it possible for zero to be nothing? it is mutually binding and amounts to impossibility. So it is not possible that zero does not exist, it exist very much, for you made a possibility for SOMETHING (in this case zero), to be nothing. Zero is that SOMETHING thefore exist. Doktor Doktor you are right, there absolute are absolute impossiblities, it is not possible to experience daja vu for the first time. Muser |

Subject: RE: BS: Impossiblity-prove it is possible. From: Peace Date: 02 Sep 06 - 06:13 PM Of course it is possible to experience deja vu for the first time. Think about what y'all are saying. Deja vu means 'seeing for a second time'. It is much like the misuse of the word thaw. People often go on to say 'we unthawed the fish'. They mean they thawed the fish. To unthaw would be to freeze. You guys are scamps playing at word games. Have fun, but the sun is shining and I'm getting older each day. Keep well. |

Subject: RE: BS: Impossiblity-prove it is possible. From: GUEST Date: 02 Sep 06 - 06:35 PM Dear Peace, hope you will understand the concept about the deja vu impossibiliy this time. The thought I am experiencing this "deja vu experience" for the first time is not possible, you have already experienced that experience once, now it is repeated, therefore. What Doktor Doktor and I were refering is that you cannot say you cannot say this is the first time you saw something that you saw before. But if you wanna talk semantics it is also impossible to experience deja vu for the first time in some cases, for the word deja vue means "already seen" and not second sight, if you have tasted the experience twice before it is impossible to say this is the first time I see what i saw twice before. besides I didn't say everything is impossible but there are some impossibilities. Threfore, even semanticcaly deja vue is possible to experience for the first time and ikewise impossible if you experienced it many times before. Muser |

Subject: RE: BS: Impossiblity-prove it is possible. From: Peace Date: 02 Sep 06 - 06:40 PM OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ! Got it. But the real experience is experienced just once. The experience of the real experience is experienced just once, too. So in fact, the deja vu is the first experience of the re-experience. Kinda cool, huh? Have your cake and then have it again. There is one impossibility that comes to mind. Try lighting a match on a soggy marshmallow. Thanks for explaining. Have a great day, GUEST. |

From: Bobert Date: 02 Sep 06 - 07:37 PM Ahhhh, hate to bring up this little theory that the Wes Ginny Slide Rule has 'bout life but it goes something like this: In the last minute of life (as we know it) the projector runs backward at an astounding speed and that everything that we thought we lived and accomplished just poofs away... Yeah, kinda creepy but ain't no one here can refute it... Bobert |

Subject: RE: BS: Impossiblity-prove it is possible. From: GUEST Date: 02 Sep 06 - 08:32 PM Mr. Peace, if you wre talking about cognitive experiences or even spiritual you might, on one hand be right, you might have a real experience and a counterfeit one. But you are talking rather about some first exerience of a re-experience which means, "I am experiencing something that I experienced before for the first time. Expirience means exactly that, it was tasted , experienced. For the true experience it is not deja vu, you are experiencing the real experience for the first time since the first one was not a real experience. Even cooler, no? You cannot experience a re-experience for the first time. It's an oximoron. to Mr. Bobert I might refute it at the time of my death, that would be a personal experience, but even if that happened in my death (let's assume I died now, Lord forbid) even though I experienced such a retrogression it is true for only me not for this thread. The thred would keep going forward even if I died, just like many people died at this moment that I am writing but that didn't reverse the thread. Muser |

Subject: RE: BS: Impossiblity-prove it is possible. From: Mr Happy Date: 03 Sep 06 - 03:37 AM most above are missing the point. This debate's about the concept of proving the possibilty of the contrived word 'Impossiblity' as opposed to the very similar real word 'Impossibility'. |

Subject: RE: BS: Impossiblity-prove it is possible. From: GUEST Date: 03 Sep 06 - 04:10 AM To the guests in this reversed world. Adieu and farewell, goodbye to my dear ones, That politely disputed me, even those that drew guns. The time for my departure has reached the high point, Do not throw rocks at me nor do my head anoint. The dwelling is calling and I must return, Where Zero has ceased and philosophies burn, Beyond the nebula of ceaseless worries, Where fetid tongue is plucked, there are no foul stories. This squalid experience in a decaying realm, Compels me to grab my liberating helm, I'm setting sail, no more will you see, The scribbles and thoughts manufactured by me. Return home I must where time progresses onward, And does not slumber in the path of inexorable downward, Go home, mariner, where events are in their positive course, The reversed world I bequeath, on those that crave for worse. Beyond the Horizon, the poet recited, Where all the fears from my back alighted. Beyond the invisible on the low line in the sky, Where the mist and dew collide, a martyr cease to cry. The muse(r) I am, philosopher and teacher, Though some may call me Rabbi or even a preacher, All languages I speak, I'm a linguist and polyglot, They cast the dices, the fate adjudged my lot. Beyond the heavens, where there are no probabilities, Beyond the experience, without impossibilities, An absolute is affixed like a cemented stone, To my home I go, I leave you alone. The silver thread is broken, and golden I received, By thinking that you progress the humanity is deceived. The nil you'll never reach, ad infinitum you roll. In the negative, beneath Zero, forever you will stroll. |

Subject: RE: BS: Impossiblity-prove it is possible. From: Darowyn Date: 03 Sep 06 - 08:40 AM If there were an infinite number of posts on this thread, then the length of a single post would be zero. one/infinity =zero. So if each post had a length of zero, the whole thread would have zero length. However many zeroes you have ,you still have nothing. Thus when the length of the thread increased from very large to infinite, it would have gone backwards. QED. Cheers Dave |

Subject: RE: BS: Impossiblity-prove it is possible. From: Old Guy Date: 04 Sep 06 - 06:07 PM Ive been busy for a while but I am now seeing the argument that Zero does not exist. How thwn can -Zero exist like 35 degrees below Zero. True that Zero is just a reference point that is different in F and C. Every measure is a reference point like pounds, MPH, KWH. In any event there is definately a Zero there can be less than Zero. If not, prove it. |
