I know they are out there.... Epistemological questions are qeustions(what d'ya know;)) that are totaly theoretical and philisophical. Such as What is the meaning of life? o

ok now for my forum topic:

I' going to post a question and u guys try to answer it or turn itinto another qeustion. Such as:
what is the pupose of life? then u say reproductio(or what not) or u could say what is "life"?

get it? cool..

here we go:

Why does everything taste like chiken?

:P

no sh**... thats why they are Epistemological questions. they are based on self morals and theory. there is no way to prove if they are right or wrong.

I am Jason, and as for what defines me is a little bit more difficult. But I am more than the sum of my parts and what I do.

Not really. Not only do you receive half of your genetic material from a parent and the other half from your other one. Mutation also occurs so there is some change in the DNA sequencing between your DNA and your parents.

aha!
but WHAT defines a different person?
If the atoms re-arrange in the SAME ORDER, your DNA is the same. Isnt your DNA the basis of who you are? IF your DNA is the same, tne your the same person. But the key question is "Why would you be someone else?"

no, Billy. It is indeed the window that shines on your face, coz the photons recombinate with the glass atoms, thus, reproducing new photons.... :)

The transporters in Star Trek take your body and convert it into energy, then that energy is taken by the transporter and sent to a new location and returned to the exact same matter it was in the exact same sequence before the transport occured. So you would be the exact same person. This however is not possible due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and is only possible in Star Trek because the transporters have Heisenberg Compensators.

gah, Master, thats a rip-off :D

another interesting thing is, that if the sun shines on your face thru a window, is it really the sun that shines on your face, or is it the window ? and why ?

well it's like copying a file to a different hard disk or folder and then deleting the original. is it still physically the same file? no. but is it the same file? yes. you see? no? didn't think so...

if you want the true answer to the meaning of life, either ask the monty python crew, or Douglas Adams. In fact, according to him, the answer to the question of Life, the Universe and Everything is 42. Now if you can figure out the question I'll worship you forever. ;)

Why does chicken taste like everything? coz the programmers of the matrix didn't know what it tasted like.

Physically yes. Mentally no since you've just experienced transportation therefore the "event" of being teleported is now in the past.

you'd probably get some info from other people who've used it before you, and you'd probably lose some things *clutches groin to check its still there*

Ok here's a question for ya:

If transporters of the Sar Trek kind were real and you stepping into one and appeared at another point, would you be the same person?

(Additional info: Transporters work by breaking your body into atoms and sending them to another transporter which then puts them back together. Basically it destroys you and them creates an exact replica fom the leftover pieces)

This chicken marlarky has gone on long enough.:D Chicken is chicken. Nothing else tastes like it. Period. This is a big fat myth drummed (pun!) up by the poultry business. *shakes fist at the fat cats in their ivory tower*
