[quote]Nevermind, this was disproven. It would be -blam!- awesome if it were true, though.[/quote]
The universe is infinite. That means that it contains infinite space. That means that it contains infinite events.
And since it contains infinite events, that means that literally [i]everything[/i] is happening. Somewhere, right now, you are dating the girl of your dreams. Somewhere, right now, you are being chased by a bloodthirsty killer.
This wouldn't be possible if the universe was 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 trillion lightyears long. It would be nigh impossible. But because of the simple fact that the universe is infinite, it is possible.
Isn't that cray?

The fact is that without science, you wouldn't have any of the technology you enjoy today. Science is not some mystical worldview. It's just a way to not fool ourselves. You might as well say you don't like learning.[/quote]Science has helped in some basic things, like medicine. Other than that, we need to stop learning things just for the sake of learning things. Helping others is more important than knowledge.
