[QUOTE="spiney, post: 277784, member: 192438"] Saturlight, you're getting worse ....... we know quite a lot, including what exists at the furthest away parts of the universe, where the laws of physics are same as here! A star is a large ball of hydrogen, slowly undergoing nuclear fusion into helium, which Pluto is several million times too small for, no way it's a star (I think u mean asteroid). Speculation has to accept known facts as a starting point, you can't just "make up anything you want" ...... To say "we might be a speck of dust in anther dimension" sounds poetic, but it's just gibberish! ("to see infinity in a grain of sand" ........). [url]http://www.poetryloverspage.com/poets/blake/to_see_world.html[/url] . Indeed, Haldane (or was it Eddington, or Bernal?) said " ..... the universe is stranger than we CAN imagine .......", but they were all top scientists with absolute understanding of their own subjects, they weren't discussing fantasies ...... (as a matter of logic, ok, yes it's true we can never be absolutely certain of anything, I'll concede that! Scientific theories can never be proved right, they can only ever be proved wrong!
