first law of thermodynamics (conservation) Energy is neither created nor destroyed, it changes from one form to another.Energy is eternal. Rubbish. Energy has to come from somewhere or something.

That's not true. Science is sure the first person to live to 150 is already alive and the first person to live to 200 is probably alive.It’s thought, due to the rate of medical and scientific progress, that the first person to live to the age of 1000 years old is already alive on the planet. Some mod-life crisis that’ll be
When the big "Game Over" sign pops up it means .. literally .. Game Over .. your eyes open and you realise it's all been a simulation and in fact we're living 20,000 years in the future on the Planet Zob.
I've always found the simulation theory argument seductive .. mathematically it "makes sense" even if it doesn't in real life ..
I don't know. A part of me has come to think / hope that reality might have an ace up it's sleeve .. if we live in an infinite multiverse .. then out there there are an infinite number of versions of us .. may be an infinite number of versions of the consciousness that makes "me" me and when when one conscious experience ends then we "flip" into another and just carry on. We might all be dying every moment and flipping through the multiverse as we speak .. I wonder if there'll be one where Britt scores 50 in a season for us ...
Anyway, it's not a "belief" .. just .. you know ..
Profound.I dunno and after reading all that, the mind boggles.
One thing I do know though is that half a chicken that I ate last night doesn't have much
of an exciting future once it's come out of my ar$e in a day or two.
I remember watching a documentary years ago on something like this years ago... anyway bit of a naff explaining job because I can't remember it too well... but there was this 6 year old bairn or whatever that claimed he lived on this farm say 300 miles from his home and said all this stuff that happened there 50 odd years ago. They took him to the farm and he was saying there was an old outhouse here etc. Anyways they did all the vetting of his claims and majority were true. Not saying it was correct but it certainly baffled meYes I do, I don't know what though. I mentioned a few months back about the case of the Middlesbrough lad who claimed to be a reincarnation of a German bomber pilot. His claims all checked out to be true.
Maybe we go to another dimension, live again in a different time- I just believe that there is something and that death is not the end.
A couple of books I have read- "More lives than One" by Ian Stevenson and the "Scholes Experiment."- both made me think really hard.

Sounds like an-in between songs story by Peter Gabriel with early GenesisThere's a worm and it lives in the soil.
It has everything it needs to live, food, water and mates. So it worms about, doing what worms do, burrowing and wriggling in the cool, moist darkness that it calls home. It can sense temperature, and what we call 'sound' through vibrations in the soil, but has no eyes, so it can't sense light.
As far as the worm is concerned, everything around it is The World, and indeed, the Universe. It can't comprehend anything other than what it experiences and learns during its life underground. It doesn't know about 'overground', and certainly nothing about space, time or the price of petrol. As far as it's concerned, everything is complete and it's happy doing what it does.
Then all of a sudden, it's snapped up and sucked up out of the ground - it's been eaten by a bird.
As this happens, the worm is momentarily shocked, and it squirms in pain before it dies.
As the worm is caught by the bird, in an instant it realises that even though he thought he knew it all - he didn't - far from it.

Thanks Harry,This thread - particularly red_harrington's mention of the worm story - reminded me of this beauty. Gay Byrne looks utterly appalled!
