A Random Thought about the meaning of Life

[Spyder1942]

I'm glad i don't believe in reincarnation as this life twice would be to much.

I reckon you should get a re-run crib sheet to go with your reincarnation, then you'd know the mistakes you made last time round and be better prepared to not make them again.

On the other hand, making mistakes are supposed to be part of what makes for an interesting life and the ability to learn ...... makes me wonder who the first person was to discover how to grind wheat into flour and then bake it into bread - I mean, c'mon folks, that's a pretty big intuitive leap, especially as bread has been around since the start of recorded history. (thinks) wonders if it came about because of Charlie Caveman bashing his missus round the ear with a few stalks of grass?

To bring you back to your original post, your grasp of the law of conservation of mass is dodgy, Gaz. It starts "Within a closed system". The earth is not a closed system. Actually the mass changes all the time due to stuff coming and going - far more than the odd asteroid.. huge quantities of dust. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00s3gqc refers)

Hmmm - you might be onto something there Madelaine - I knew these conservation types weren't telling us the whole story.

... thinks about all that dust going into space .... wonders if it's too early to start an orbital housekeeping and contract cleaning company? Could get a bunch of students to do space shuttle valeting at weekends too. Might be onto a good earner here?

The Meaning of Life?????????

Couldn't tell you I haven't got one

?

Nothing has been added to the overall mass of the earth in all this time, aside from the odd asteroid here & there.
.

NOT TRUE!

Plants use photosynthesis to HARVEST energy from the sun.

All the layers of life are there for anyone to see in the rock formations and all of this mass has come more or less directly from the sun.

So many people worry about the meaning of life, they forget to live it.

Life is simply to enjoy it and learn.

We've now been given the date of the 14th June to see if he makes it to the Britwriters competition finals.
Even if he doesn't make it he will still try and get it published as it's got this far. Keep your fingers crossed for us !

You're not a politician. You're interested in politics, and could be described as "a political animal" (not a derogatory term!) but unless you've been elected to Government, or joined an official body that contributes to the actual government of a nation, you're not a politician.

I'll agree about the poo though.
