    I've done a road like that at night in Kashmir in a minibus with a mad bastard driving.

    I was about 19 the first time and sat at the front.

    It was both scary as fck and also a rush. Thankfully no 80 point turns needed.

    Thing is Abe, not everyone has spent their life just sitting smoking weed all day and never doing much else. There’s absolutely no reason to disbelieve what Trebs has just said. It really does say a lot about you that you can’t get your head around the things that posters have done with their lives. It’s a big wide world out there you should step outside and try it sometime.

    I’m just happy to see you back in a good mood Abe. You weren’t in a good place mentally last night.

    Take care of yourself mate.

    read a book by Lee Smolin some years that postulated that time does exist outside this universe on the basis of... this universe is simply part of an infinite universe, not a separate entity that exploded from a nothingness of time and energy. Then we're back to my dad and his dying, almost semi-religious belief that Hoyle was right and we live in a steady state, infinite, eternal universe that only experiences time because of the energy and matter in it, and thus we, being made of energy and matter perceive time.

    Here's a fascinating thing based on Dirac's calculations that I've never been able to get my head around (although I'm a maths O-level duffer who just never got that two negatives make a positive) - if his calculations suggest that a 'mirror' universe/dimension of anti-matter exists, does that not suggest time runs 'backwards' there? And would they even know? And by them I mean the mirror 'us'? And do particles, as Wheeler and others contested. travel between this and that dimension, and thus backwards and forwards in time?

    I don't know. But as I travel through this life I regret the time I've wasted and wish I could have more of it, especially the years wasted on here. And now, reading this, you have too. <eek>

    "Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
    Because their words had forked no lightning they
    Do not go gentle into that good night."

    I find it all very interesting. I believe in fate, that's in the sense that every action has a consequence, every consequence affects an unknown number of people and the chain just goes on and on and on...through the whole of life.

    Can we change fate or is it preplanned. Are some consequences filled with positive energy and others negative energy like protons, which creates our winners and losers, can you have any control over which energy partical you are at any given time, I doubt it, because when you are dead you are dead, you can't change it, but that's only if I assume death is a negative proton, maybe you delayed the consequence but how would we know.

    People like to use the world luck, but I feel there is more to it than that. Just when Liverpool looked like they were losing to Luton, a stroke of luck occurred that led to their late goal and we see this playing out every weekend in every game in untold number of consequences, or is that merely the law of averages - I'm sensing a groundhog day coming on, and we are just going to end up going round in circles.

    All tongue in cheek, but as I say interesting, especially the more you think about it, maybe the problem is humans can think, take away thinking what is left, but even every action we take is already thought about and preplanned by our brain before we can even function to carry it out, so we carry out something we processed in the past, here we go again.

    Anyway what if we are all in the present, there is no future and past, so why don't we already know the ending, we know the beginning, this thinking is not helping us much is it, it just complicates it even further.

    Now where did I leave that key to my time machine, I'll wake up in a minute...
