Youd wonder what created space at the same wouldn’t you, or what was there before space existed

It’s hard to get your head around it. We know as little as a man who only sees two dimensions trying to understand a sphere.

It’s a big bastard alright.

I vaguely recall @caoimhaoin confirming the presence of Hawking radiation on AFR back in 2004. Think he saw it in the queue for Henry’s one night in 1993, or knew a fella who saw it.

Given that Easter is held on the first Sunday after the first Full Moon occurring on or after the vernal equinox - you are on the right thread.

Do the Jewish celebrate Easter?

They pass over that celebration.

It was God’s father that created space. He rode a black hole and God was born, who went on to create everything else.

There was a very good thing on Newstalk the other day. Do they have a science show or something? It wasn’t in the main program stuff anyway either late at night or a Sunday. This fella was on explaining quantum physics and it was savage interesting altogether. I’ll see can I find it

That was easy enough. A very interesting 20 minutes if you want someone to explain quantum physics in a way you might understand

The Quantum physicists don’t even know themselves.
They are hoping to build a quantum computer powerful enough in the next few years that’ll basically be able to tell the scientists whether alternate universes exist

How long do humans have left as the dominant species on the planet? - or will we just evolve into cyborgs?

It took 5 petabytes of data to get that image. That’s 5 million gigs. You’d want a serious broadband package for that

I’m still not convinced we aren’t just in a computer simulation
