Post #130,613 by orion 12/13/03 7:20:36 PM Reply	Prove the universe give 30 examples. This was on an Astronomy test of mine in college. Our instructor disagreed with the book and explained why most things in it were wrong. Our ignorence of the universe is showing, we don't even know how to counter the bone loss in Astronaughts yet. Would you have believed in black holes before someone caught a nearby star falling into one? There are some things we cannot see in the universe. We only percive three dimensions and often ignore time, a fourth one. How can we tell if there other dimensions if we are closed-minded? Can't see it, it does not exist. That kind of thinking could be wrong. It is not being lazy, it is keeping an open mind, and seeing if the rules are wrong. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
