I often find myself wondering why when a man in Sky Blue brings someone down it is a tactical foul but if the man wears red it is taking one for the team.

You're like the dad I wish I had that went to the shops for some fags and never came back and/or got hit by a bin lorry on your way there.

Space and time  are infinite in both directions therefore I have no idea about what is going to happen next or indeed which way we are going.

gavin

The universe can't be infinite if it is still expanding.

reddishblue

unless of course it's expanding at an infinite rate

gavin

It can't be expanding at an infinite rate because it is getting faster.

reddishblue

Only in our perception of the universe, what if space is infinite?

Every thought you ever had was caused by a a transition of sub-atomic particles from one part of your napper to another. This causes a pulse of electro magnetic radiation which travels away at the the speed of light. Bet you can't catch it. :D

You are sounding like Nick Pope 🤣🤣

reddishblue

What i said is a provable scientific fact.

Nick Pope talks shite along with his mates to try and make a few quid. "Here is our UFO expert" From the MOD....

Vickki

Reddish, do you believe  in the 'Philosophers Stone?'

reddishblue

No, but I believe the philosopher is stoned.

Anyone heard about the theory that there is an infinite number of universes and therefore somewhere else in space there is iinivetibally another citymancs? Maybe numerous...

gavin

I'm just glad that I'm in a Universe where City came good. I'm still of the feeling that there aren't many of them.

reddishblue

Yes, luckily enough. It's all about timing.

I don't think sometimes so sometimes I'm not here?

Vickki

Reddish, I always thought you live in an alternative reality 🤣🤣

reddishblue

So did René Descartes .

Vickki

I would call that schizophrenia not Phiosophy 🤣

reddishblue

I know who I am, the real question is do you?


Vickki

Of course I know who I am. I'm an American 'hottie' that drives a delivery truck around Bolton 🤣🤣


Vickki

Reddish, please go see a doctor! You don't look healthy in your pic 🤣🤣

For space to be infinite then time would have to be (and have been) infinite.

That would mean no Big Bang theory and be contrary to the evidence of the universe expanding at an accelerated rate.

gavin

You are assuming that time began at the big bang and we don't really know if anything could or did exist before the big bang. Also, I'm not convinced that space being infinite necessarily implies that time is. But then I'm not convinced that space, or anything else, can be infinite in reality. We do know that it is a fucking big place and yet still that United are the most embarrassing club within it.

If space is finite theoretically you could travel to the edge of it.

gavin

Yes, but what you should be asking is what is the other side of the edge?

reddishblue

Kind of my point, I suspect more space is beyond it.

gavin

It is hard to conceive of anything else considering it is all we know. But we do know that very small parts of the universe behave completely differently to how our classical experience would suggest. Just because we don't experience it doesn't mean there isn't all sorts of weird stuff going on.

reddishblue

Physics breaks down as does mathematics in the race to understand not just the infinite but the infinitely small, I refer you to the Quantum Physics thread.

We are in one of many universes in an infinite space imo.

Agree with the united bit 😀 Although to fill infinite space it stands to reason you need infinite time.

If there's  only a finite amount of time then everything can only travel a finite distance.
