Hi...
Is there a strict defenition of the above term?
or is it general and including things like ethics, religion, quantum physics
and other weird stuff...
Or must the topic stay off thus and such...
Reason is, I want to discuss the meaning of life for a while and, well, 
retty
much all of the above things would enter into the convo.
I'm doin' TAFE studying computers and i'm blundering me way through this
existance (sometimes alone and sometimes feeling its all pretty pointless as
we all have on occasion), and, even though Hitchhikers Guide *did* actually
shed light on one aspect (The fact that humour is enjoyable and that you have
to be alive ( as far as I know) to enjoy it), it still doesnt cover the wider
aspects, such as why 42 and not 64, a much nicer number i think...
But seriously, some will write back to me with religious answers...
Some with anti-religious answers
Others with theorums and calculations,
but as far as my experience leads, anyone who writes back with *the answers*
will be fooling themselves and everyone else...
Because, as far as I can see, *No one* will ever be able to know *for sure*
until they die as to wether there's an afterlife or anything...
And thats just the afterlife issue, not the sub atomic and macroscopic
universe as a whole, how it came to be, cycling or open, vacume state energy,
shrodingers cat...etc...
But then maybe I'm straying from topic here...
I guess what I really *want* to know is, do you think its possible to ever
Know for Sure Anything?
I mean, internally, we all know we exist, right, cuz we're each sittin there
lookin out our own eyes seein out own stuff, but also deep down I suspect 
lot
of people secretly wonder whether or not they are actually the only ones who
actually exist, and everyone is merely a figment of their imagination...
Thats a paranoia, sorta, but when you mesh quantum mechanics and the tiny
*fact* that we're all made up of tiny balls of electricity interacting in 
ery
precise and Strange ways then you can imagine actual (ACTUAL) reality to be
nothing more than some huge *sun* type thing full of nothing more than
seething electrical energy in a multitude of wavelengths, interacting on an 
n
imaginable scale and we (humans on earth) only percieve what we percieve
because thats the only way we can...
One day ( as far as the scientists say and I know math (a little) and I am
inclined to believe them over creationism(and I'm not mentioning that again, 

dont want to start a war here)), one day, long ago,we were all packed into a
ball much much smaller than the size of a pin, not just us but the entire
universe...We all, every single molicule was then ONE entity...so we all have
been influenced by the same forces and we are all still basically the same
matter\energy (at aparently different levels of ecxitement or something), so
maybe, there is no *space*...
Events a long way off in space may merely be what our perception is of an
energy wave that only effects our perception in a small way, such as the ray
of light from a star...
Or on occasion, the seething mass of energy swirls chaotically in a way to
cause a stronger or different type of wave to give us the view of a
supernova...Again distance (space) being only an indication of its effect on
us...
I duno if you all get my meaning, and if anyone knows(or thinks they know) 
hy
I bothered writing this, then I would be interested to know, cuz I forgot...
I think i'm trying to say somthing, but maybe my ignorance or lack of
understanding about *something* is screwing it up....
In a nutshell..."Why"?
 Cyaz.
