Really Good Questions

[IceHusky]

A topic for life's unanswerable questions. Post your own questions, or if you dare, answer questions.

I'll start with a few I thought of myself:

1. If you freeze milk, is it ice, or is it milk?

2. If you label two cats Cat 1 and Cat 2, then tie them together with them facing opposite ways as tightly as possible, due to the theory that cats always land on their feet, which cat lands? Cat 1 or Cat 2?

3. If the DS in the name of "Nintendo DS" means dual screen, is the Nintendo 3DS really a lie?

4. If Halo Spartans and Greece Spartans were to go to war, who would win? The spartans or the spartans?

5. Do balloons float up in space? (First of all, the helium on Earth is lighter than the air which provides the effect, and air is not in space, and second, there's not really any direction in space without gravity so what is the balloon really doing?)

6. Technically, if you were to slow down light and speed it back up at your eye, so you receive light a moment later than usual, wouldn't you technically be seeing back in time? (Mind = blown amIright?)

7. Since our brain takes at least a nanosecond to process what we're seeing, aren't we technically seeing back in time already? (By a nanosecond at least)

8. If somebody with a split personality threatened to commit suicide, would it be a hostage situation?

9. If anything is possible, is it possible for something to be impossible?

10. Are babies natural or man-made?

1. Frozen milk. Ice is frozen water.
   
2. Not sure
   
3. It actually means Developer's System
   
4. The spartans, obviously...
   
5. They'd burst before they got that far.
   
6. I guess so.
   
7. I guess so.
   
8. Not sure
   
9. GAH MY BRAIN!
   
10. Both, I guess...
    

[Cyrem]

1. Milk is frozen in the water.

2. The heaviest.

3. Yes it is a lie and false advertising.

4. The Spartans.

5. No they don't.

6. No, you are just lagging and need a better CPU/GPU for your brain.

7. No, you are just lagging and need a better CPU/GPU for your brain.

8. No, if it's a hostage situation, what is the ransom?

9. The statement 'anything is possible' is wrong. For example, it is impossibe for something to come from nothing.

10. Reproduction is natural, the child is a result of the reproduction.

[Storm]

Just in case anyone asks the chick or the egg:

The egg. Why? Because technically chickens came from dinosaurs, as all birds have, and dinosaur eggs have exist FAR longer than the chicken. If you don't want to count that, the chicken most likely WASN'T the first bird to exist. And all birds lay eggs. Hurr.

[Phoenyx]

1. You get milk solids encased in ice. Milk is a mixture, not a compound, containing lipids, simple and complex sugars, proteins, amino acids, and water.

2. Uh... yes!

3. DS stood for Dual Screen (or Developer's System), but 3DS could stand for Three Dimensional System. It's also the third full redesign of the DS, following the DS and DSi.

4. Yes.

5. If you mean "Would balloons float upwards in microgravity?", they wouldn't they'll just float around like everything else. And if you mean "Would balloons float in a Vacuum?", even if the balloon could withstand the lack of outside pressure, it would stay on the bottom of the vacuum chamber since it would be more dense than the surrounding environment.

6. Exactly. And you don't have to slow down light to do so either - you just have to be far enough away. Did you know that, since light from the sun takes about eight minutes to reach us, what we see on the sun with solar observing equipment actually happened about eight minutes ago? And of course, if you use a telescope to observe the Andromeda Galaxy (Messier 31), you see how it appeared 2.6 million years ago, before humans even existed!

7. Brain lag, that's all.

8. Ask a psychologist... I'm a physics expert...

9. If anything is possible, than no, nothing would be impossible. Still, not everything is possible, but a lot of stuff is and they're having to rewrite the list of what isn't almost daily.

10. Natural.

8. If somebody with a split personality threatened to commit suicide, would it be a hostage situation?

9. If anything is possible, is it possible for something to be impossible?

10. Are babies natural or man-made?

1. It's frozen milk, foo'.
   
2. Divide by Zero.
   
3. No. The one in '3DS' stands for "3-Dimensional Screen/System". Beeyatch.
   
4. The UNSC Spartans.
   
5. Nope. I wouldn't be surprised if they exploded upon leaving our atmosphere.
   
6. Nope. You would probably either see in slow or fast motion for a fraction of a second.
   
7. I am sick of these motherf***ing snakes on this motherf***ing plane.
   
8. HAHAHAHAHAHA, YOU'RE SO FUNNY [/sarcasm]
   
9. Yes.
   
10. Depends on the method of obtaining said baby. I'm not going to go into the specifics for obvious reasons, but if that baby came from a tube, it's man-made, and if it was baked in an oven, you can bet its natural.
    

And now for my questions.

1. What are my options?
   

Cool, go.

[Sadie Meowsalot]

it is impossibe for something to come from nothing.

Evidently it isn't, else we'd not exist, nor would the environment within which we live.

There merely lacks an explanation as to how, or if there is, I've yet to see it.

Somehow I just knew someone was going to say something about evolution/big bang theory.

Please give me one example of something appearing from absolutely nothing. The big bang is not a valid answer because many scientists believe there was matter/energy that caused it. Others believe there was a god who created the matter and yet other scientists believe there was an entity that created the basics of the universe and begun an evolution process. Any scientist that believes something comes from nothing needs to go to a mental institute.

If it needs an explantion of how it occured, that implies that there was something there that had to go through a process in order for it to occur.

That's just it. I can't validate that it can, I simply am inclined to believe it is so, and will remain neutral as to how that occurs until I'm presented with a plausible explanation.

Yes, I realize that. But, can you explain it? Cause I sure can't.

God came from who knows where a created stuff. The end.

In the end all views of how something or someone came from nothing is incomprehensible so no neither atheist or creationist or anythingelseist side of the argument wins.

One more question.

What is love? :af:

[Cirevam]

[Minifig9292]

1. Milk.

2. They both die.

3. 3DS means "Three Dimensional Screen" you tit.

4. Depends, are they Spartan Is IIs IIIs or the new IVs?

5. The balloon would remains still until acted upon by an outside force.

6. No, you would only have a different perception and slower reaction time.

7. See #6

8. No.

9. Yes. "Anything is possible" is just an expression.

10. Natural. Man-Made implies it was made by human beings through unnatural means. Sex is a completely natural thing that 99% of animals on Earth do in some way.

One more question.

What is love?

A deeply-ingrained hereditary human trait to protect one's own genes or family.

[Lair]

3. Yes it is a lie and false advertising.

No, it isn't. Are you going to complain that the XBox's name is a lie and false advertizing since it's not a real box?

One more question.

You have such a great sense of humor.

Except not.

1. It's frozen milk.

2. Neither, they hang themselves.

3. No, because it clearly exists.

4. Greece because they're real and Failo isn't.

5. No, they explode from depressurization.

6. Good luck slowing down light.

7. This doesn't even make sense.

8. No, because they're one person no matter what their brain tells them.

9. Depends on your definition of anything is possible

10. Natural.

11. Ssssssssssssssssssss

[Cyrem]

No, it isn't. Are you going to complain that the XBox's name is a lie and false advertizing since it's not a real box?

Yes, yes I am.

/Lair didn't notice that the comment was supposed to be funny.

^Better.

[Cyrem]

^Better.

^ Almost as good.

[Lair]

Yes, yes I am.

sigh... I'll never figure out when people are joking :(
