 I think every idea of a human is based on something. Something that he or she know or something he or she did expiring.

How many times do you use E-mail?

[MrRazot]

my phone has push email so i receive everything directly, though if i want to get a message to someone i just use facebook


how long do you think until email is obsolete?

[Beatnory]

Hard to say. At this moment you has to have email to use facebook, google...
I think longer that facebook.

What do you think which will die first. Email or Facebook?

[MrRazot]

tough answer...
though facebook is most likely to go first


what would you say is the most useful tool?

[ZombiezuRFER]

The mind is useless without hands, and the hands are useless without the mind, so mind and hands.

no
there is so much predetermining our decisions that already we are "zombies"
we are told we are too fat or too thin and what products make us look good
we are told how to act and when not to act and why not to act to the point that we even choose not to act and stop bad things from happening.


we have all been brainwashed,
it's our nature as human beings to adapt
and we have adapted to being brainwashed.


what do you think of this?

I think we can get even more scientific than that. After all,the brain is little more than chemicals and electrochemical reactions, and this creates new conditions that can only be fulfilled by further electrochemical reactions, and so and so forth. Basically, the Universe is a slippery slope that goes on forever, unless of course, there are truly random events on a scale big enough to actively influence our thought.


What do you think of that?

[MrRazot]

i think we agree on the basic principle that you will never have a free will from all the factors that influence the brain and how we react and ineract.


am i right in saying so?

[ZombiezuRFER]

Indeed.


Do you agree free will is a useful illusion to keep up?

[MrRazot]

yes


do you think it will ever be possible to get around this issue?

[ZombiezuRFER]

Only if its possible to create new matter and energy, but even that is dubious.


Do you think it may be possible to do so?

[anoni]

It's possible, but very unlikely, the conservation of matter/energy is a very fundamental rule of the universe, unless it's somehow disproven in the future, it is not possible.

In relation to the announcement CERN is gearing up to unveil,
What do you think will be more interesting, they found the higgs or they didn't?

[MrRazot]

i cant be bothered to research


could you tell me what it is?

[anoni]

CERN? uhh, Large Hadron Collider? They have built this enormous particle accelerator to smash atoms together (to create conditions of the universe 0.00001 seconds after the big bang) so that they can detect the higgs boson, or "god particle". It's the particle that essentially gives all the other particles mass, it ways more then 100x that of a proton and only lasts for a few instants. In fact, it vanishes so quickly that they can't actually "observe" the higgs, but they can observe the particles the higgs decays into.

  They have spent almost 23 billion dollars on the LHC and the discovery of the higgs will be known as the "greatest discovery of the century". It is the only undiscovered particle of quantum mechanics. If we find it, it means our theories are correct and we are on the right track, if we don't, it means we are wrong and we need to change our physics.


So again, which is more interesting, finding the higgs or not?

[MrRazot]

Sounds like finding it is a priority


would it be possible to synthesise the particle?

[anoni]

If you mean synthesis as in create, nope, because it's a fundamental particle of the universe. This particle isn't made of atoms, or quarks, it's a base particle.

Why do you think it's a priority to find it?

[MrRazot]

it means we have to adapt our physics which at the end of the day will theoretically make more things possible and potentially understandable.


am i wrong to think so?
