Why not post this in the bean bags forum?

[Zylos]

Because he thinks I know everything...which is absolutely true.

Next question.

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

Do you think time travel is even remotely plausible?

I think that time is now, there is no "past" or "future". I see time as something man created to keep tack of his daily life. Something he uses to set dates and times for things to happen, but not something that really is.

What do you think?

[Zylos]

In a sense, we are already time traveling into the future, one second at a time. Plus, I think it has been sceientifically proven that an object traveling at high speeds ages more slowly than a stationary object. Theoretically, this means that if you were to travel into outer space and return, moving close to light speed, you could travel thousands of years into the Earth's future.

But in the sense you're probably implying, no, I don't think time travel is possible. My thoughts are similar to yours in this respect. The past was, but exists no longer; the future will be, but does not exist yet. It is impossible to travel back into the past, and impossible to travel to an exact point in the future without experiencing the time it takes to get to that point. Even an person circling Earth at the speed of light will still experience the time it takes to circle the Earth, albeit it would be at such an accelerated rate that the time past would go unnoticed.

Any number divided by itself equals 1.
Did I just prove 0 is not a number?

[Zylos]

No. The number zero obeys most of the same rules of arithmetic that ordinary numbers do, so it is considered a number. It is a special number, though, because it doesn't quite obey all the same laws as other numbers—more specifically, you can't divide by zero. All mathematicians agree on this.

Who do you think would win in a fight? Superman, The Hulk, Or Barock Obama?

[Zylos]

Superman.

[Zylos]

Can I be like your Furry Follower?

Sure. The more the merrier.

Who would you be if you were someone else?

I'd be my twin brother Matt, so really nothing would change at all.

Dear Skanker

Try using a lock sometime. Failing that, you could set up a fingerprint scanner and have it guarded by trained rabid rabbits.

What is the opposite of love?

[Zylos]

The opposite of love would be to not love (i.e. apathy or indifference).

[garygill]

A smart guy like you can give a better answer than that!

[cjonlyyou]

Why are there so many mods?

[Zylos]

If you know of a better answer, Garygill, by all means please post it. But until I see a better answer, I'll stand by my previous answer that indifference is the opposite of love.

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

What is love?

Baby don't hurt me.[/spoiler]

[Zylos]

I think someone already asked that question.

[garygill]

I consider you very intelligent, and do not entertain the thought that you are wrong.  But it doesn't make sense to me that the opposite of love is indifference, even if you believe love to be an emotion.  Indifference would be the lack of love, not the opposite of it.

The opposite of love, an intense emotion, would be not be a different intense emotion, such as hate. To love something, one must invest a lot of time and emotional energy in it. The same is true of hate. Hatred also takes up a large amount of time and requires a huge emotional investment. In a sense, it could be said that hatred is another form of love, just on a really complex level.

Apathy is the opposite of both love and hate. The lack of any sort of emotion or investment in a person or thing is the polar opposite of love and hate.

Now that's an answer that better reflects your intelligence.

Why, thank you.
