Speaking of "unoriginal ideas". Look up Disney's "Atlantis". There's another movie with basically the exact same plot, and the character's are given different names but they're basically the same too!!! That and there are little quirks here and there that have sexual references (eg In "The Lion King" when the dust is settling so you can see Mufasa dead, apparently the word sex is visible as dust.

Well, most of disneys cartoons have just been Fairy Tale adaptions. Little Mermaid, Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast and so on and so on.

And as you say, The Lion King is more or less a direct copy of the Japanese cartoon series Simba the Lion. I guess when your a company so massive that you are worth more than most of the countries in the world it's only a minor concern.

i think i may have made a miscalculation somewhere
I would like to know...
1) What does vision have to do with testicular fortitude? Does it have something to do with you liking to watch people kick you in the nuts?

you have to see where your traveling... and yes it is kinda funny watching...

2) How did you split space/time fabric? Theoretically the only way to do that (as far as I know) is to create a black hole.

well first i created a portal "wormhole" and thankfully it is small enough to not shread space and time together...

3) What does killing your grandfather in the 1930's have to do with Jesus being born?

well i think its obvious that im god...

4) Can you explain how multi-dimensional (universes, sorry if that's confusing) time exists/works? Because if you killed your grandfather you obviously couldn't exist in the same universe.

well this isnt the same universe... in my universe im a gigantic loser, that spends all his time posting in forums...

totally different from this universe...

If there were no 'alternate universes', and if you traveled back in time it was still the same timeline, and you killed your grandfather. Would that create a loop in the space time continum thing and the universe would collapse in on itself?

Well, if there was no multi-verse then quite possibly by going back and killing your grandfather you would create a temporal loop that would keep you repeating the same actions over and over again.

But you would have to consider two points.

1) would you have memory of what you had done (i.e. as people say they remember past lives.) and thus when the loops starts again you are armed with a greater quantity of information so you may make a different choice.

2) Is reality ridged. What I mean is if you went back and killed your grandfather so you were never born so you didn't kill your grandfather so you were born, etc. Next time the loop started would you think differently and not go back in time and kill your grandfather.

Of course, the second point also raises the issues of, is reality sentient?

Is that the one where a government operative can go back in time for 7 days only?

I think I saw a few episodes.

I hate that question... it's evil. (This is going to be another Atomicus self-explanation) Well, if reality is NOT sentient, then is raises the age-old question: why the %$#@ are we here? (ie The more famous question: Is there a god/greater deity/higher power/etc?) Which is one question that can only be answered vaguely by biological/chemical/physiological means OR without 100% tangible proof. If it is sentient, then we have to wonder (kind of Matrix style), is what we see really real, or is it all a projection by our mind and our minds are so powerful that they have created this universe for us and nothing is "real" except to our minds (our body, etc).

What the hell happened to Bulfrog (theme park, dungeon keeper etc.) The bulfrog site is a redirect link to EA Games!

Well, I don't know the questions not that evil. I mean if reality is no sentient then it isn't sentient plain and simple. If it isn't sentient then it just means that there is a different set of rules.

You build a house and that isn't sentient but you still live there and every bit of the house is based in reality there could also still be a higher power as the person who built the house may not live in it. However, if it was sentient then the rules just change.

Oh and as a side note. Maybe EASports bought Bulfrog out, last I heard Bulfrog were in dire finantial straits.

i was just thinking about this the other day
is it possible to count the number of intersecting planes in a sphere?

i was think maybe 360^360 maybe

any thoughts?

or am i just an idiot who has too much damn time on his hands....

Well, I don't see why not. I must admit I havn't thought about anything like that for a while. I bashed 3x-2y+4z==3, 2x-4y+3z==1, and x-3y+2z==5 around my head for a while. But I'm not sure if that would work with a sphere.

Aslong as you can get an x,y,z axis then I guess it shouldn't be too hard. It's just actually taking the time out to plot all the intersections.

First off, a few posts back someone was talkin about 'sentient'. Can someone give me the definition of that word.
Secondly, If this is relevent, i dont really understand the new topic, but i dont think you can devide a circle up into lines because wouldnt that just make it an approximate answer?

There are several sizes of infinity. I could show the proof, but it would probably take up most of ng's bandwidth! But any way theres infinity, and 2^infinity. Is there and infinity inbetween (and yes, for all you dumb asses, 2^inf=1.5^inf)

Yeah, like infinity of N has more gaps then infinity of R ( therefore we tend to say infinity of R is greater then infinity of N. ( If you learnt N Z Q and R yet! )
