before something existed.. nothing existed, an infinite nothingness.. for that infinite nothingness to exist we need to have an infinite somethingness.

nothing exists, everything exists

Hawking did not believe that. But who in the ends knows. I like to think something started it, until proven otherwise, you don't. I doubt we will ever agree, but it's a nice fun argument.

I love stuff about the stars but only understand bits of it. A NASA expert, a woman was on a documentary, she said don't ask her about distance it's beyond her.

Do you remember the Porridge episode with the orange ping-pong ball and football. Brilliant stuff.

sorry. but standing somewhere and insulting others beliefs is not standing up for free speech, it's simply using free speech to insult others.

do you think a Boro fan standing at speakers corner insulting Geordies, or a Nazi standing there shouting their disgust at Jews is acceptable, simply because they stand at Speakers corner?

Free Speech is a privilege, using it to spread hate is an abuse of privilege. Though that still does not warrant being attacked by an idiot with a knife.
Which is exactly my point, albeit you may be eloquent than I 🙂

what if your beliefs are insulting to others?

'do you think a Boro fan standing at speakers corner insulting Geordies' - bad example there mate!

'or a Nazi standing there shouting their disgust at Jews is acceptable' - I wouldn't find it agreeable, just like I don't agree with the flat earthers, I don't believe that homosexuals are going to hell, I don't believe non Christians are scum of the earth and neither to I believe that non-Muslims are either. I do find it interesting to find out where their points of view come from and have enjoyed many heated debates over a range of subjects.

free speech IS a privilege and part of that privilege includes the fact the some people will say things that you will not agree with.
 
take away speakers corner and replace it with st james park signing come on boro.. offended? why would boro fans wear their boro shirts at st james park if they thought it was going to offend the geordies?

I mean we're all for freedom of speech and freedom of expression.. but not if it's going to antagonise someone or offend them in any way!

good point

Ban away supporters from wearing their shirts and they certainly must not sing songs ribbing the home supporters.
 
Keep this under your hat, it wasn’t the fairies, they came much later, Legend has It was started 13.8 billion years ago by a naughty Unicorn in one of the multiverses, puncturing a hole in its side with its horn causing a big loud whooshing noise and lots of rocks were sucked through that collided together, bouncing around like a pinball machine forming planets. The rest is history.
That isn't right. In the old, 26 dimensional universe, there were 26 dimensional physicists who'd built a 26 dimensional version of our Large Hardon Collider. One to the physicists said "I wonder if I turned this knob it'd go faster". The last words heard in the old 26 dimensional universe before its symmetry collapsed and we were left with what we have now were "OH FUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!"

PS I made that up myself. It may not be 100% right. Especially the bit about the 26 dimensional Large Hardon Collider.

🤔 Another urban myth I’m afraid

Unicorns don’t lie. There has never been a single case of a unicorn ever being found guilty of perjury.
 
It's a fact that all men who reached the top of Everest wore underpants, it's not a fact that all men who wear underpants have been to the top of Everest.

reminds me somehow of an old tale. Bloke walking down the street with an old fashioned bin on a trolley, which he's banging with e big stick. Passer-by manages to calm him down long enough to get a word in. "Wot you doin'?" he said. The bin banger said "It keeps the Elephants away". The passer-by said 'But.... BUT .... There aren't any elephants round here'. Bin banger said "I know, it works, dunnit?"
