    I know a bloke that travelled the world to get material for his thesis to prove we exist. Now if he failed is that a paradox?
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    Dunno, but that's typical of academic funding grants.

    Eggzackery, my friend! That is my whole point.

    A paradox only exists to a neural thinker.
    For an Aspy there is no start or end, only right, wrong and that which comes next thus all things are possible.
    As all things are possible therefore infinity is an abstract and cannot exist either.

    I guess the fact that those words do exist and can be used means they do have meaning.

    Lol I had a debate about time with my dad once. He says it's a concept made up by humans. I say it's a way of measuring what already exists.

    What's an aspy? If there is only right or wrong then there can't be both simultaneously?

    Time is only relevant to each individual. For example, when I enjoy what I am doing, time quickens and when I am bored time seems to slow down.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    That would be the same as saying distance is only relative to an individual I guess. Walking a kilometre when you're fit and fresh feels a lot less than walking a kilometre when you're completely knackered. Or; the first kilometre of a 20 kilometre walk seems shorter than the last.

    Agree... There are many factors that affect perception of distance.

    For example, even if you follow the same path, the Pub is always further from your house on the way home than it is on the way there.
    Measure it however you like, elapsed journey time, number of paces, ratio of irate abusive spousal phone calls recieved.
    Many years ago it could be proven by monitoring the Odometer of your car and sometimes the Pub would be as much as twice as far away from my house at 10 PM as it was at 5 PM.

    I call it the Temporal Distillation Factor

    This can also change if you come back from the same pub that you went to, and if you go home to the same home you left from.
    2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder


    And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.

    I've been known to take up to three days to get home from the pub
