  1. I don't drive.

    Your loss.

     

    Then again my viewpoint is biased... My grandfather custom built stock cars, and even had the chance of being crew chief for a couple of the NASCAR greats. I could be famous by now if it wasn't for my grandma stopping him. I still drive like a racer though... (it's in my blood)

  2. I am left/right confused. If I am asked to do something that involves choosing either of those it may take me several seconds to realize which is left and which is right, and even if I do take that time I frequently pick the wrong one.

    Makes sense... I have ADHD when I get tired, so for the most part my mind just ignores the left/right distinctions...

  3. To have nothing would be to have a space in which there is nothing that we know that exists, in it.

    No atoms, no quarks or bosons or leptons, no anti-matter, no light, no gravity, no neutrinos, nothing.

    As far as knowledge has carried the modern world thusfar, such a space could not exist. But we'll pretend, shall we? Imagine we have this fantastic wonder of modern achievement in science and physics that is a vacuum container in which there is absolutely nothing.

     

    Pray tell how by force of will and intention that in this container (in which there is nothing), we bring something into being. Not take matter that is outside the chamber and move it inside (by whatever means you're contriving, motion, magnetism, superposition etc). Have the abyss inside this chamber, and make something in it out of nothing. Like invent a new particle or generate a new element or have a beautiful new species of rabbit come into being-whatever, Something, anything, be created out of that infinite nothingness in the abyss chamber. That is what is meant by "create something from nothing" in the sense which I mentioned.

     

    I don't mean teleportation, I don't mean radioactive decay, I don't mean a big bang, I mean well and true creation. Such is a power we do not possess.

    Exactly. I suck at putting ideas to words like this... lol

  4. Half-Life could be made into a book, even if Dr. Freeman never speaks.

     

    Dr. Freeman was headed to work.

    Dr. Freeman and a load of scientists screwed up a project

    Dr. Freeman Kills people

    The end.

     

    Or is it?

     

    Next book...

     

    Freeman arrives on train.

    Freeman kills people.

    Building explodes.

     

    The and.

     

    Or is it?

     

    Next book...
