Logically there can be only one right answer to that initial questions one must ask when looking for ultimate truth. Is there purpose to the universe? Logically can have only one answer. If the answer is yes, what's the next question. If the answer is no, why do we need anymore questions, except to try and establish a purpose to the universe so our lives have value. If our lives have value then the question "why do we die?" has significance.

| I think there is purpose to the universe, because if it wouldn't have a purpose, then why is it there?
I believe the answer is, so that we could give significance to it.

And, in regarding your very last post,
Are you sure you are not refering to stop existing, instead of dying? I sasy this because it seems so. | | | | Orange Belt Join Date: Dec 2003 Posts: 28

| Aren't you being objective now? I'm getting confused about the deeper meaning of objective and subjective. If we take it literally, subjective means of subject. Objective would mean of object. Perhaps Volantis could help us out here. Before we end up swallowing our tails, let's agree on how we are going to use the words and if they are to have any meaning to them whatsoever, they should refer to something specific.

The amplitude of the swing will increase during each back and forth cycle. The forcing function can be provided by a second person pushing on the swing. In this case even a small child can make a large adult swing by pushing in sync with the swing's back and forth cycle. The forcing function can also be provided by the person in the swing. In this case the person in the swing shifts her center of mass very slightly by changing the position of her legs or torso. This creates a slight pushing force which makes the swing go higher and higher. It takes a very small force but it has to be timed perfectly. A more complicated example would be the the design of a suspension bridge. Each bridge can be designed with a specified natural frequency. If the wind load happens to synchronize with the natural frequency of the bridge, due to resonance (the constructive interference of wave functions, which increase the amplitude for all waves that are in-phase) the amplitude of vibration will become higher and higher until the bridge collapses. Therefore, the ideal design of a bridge is to create damping structures that prevent resonance at any given wind frequency.

| | ok, and, then,
why is reasonance so positive? What does it give that makes it so important? | | | | Raider of the lost time

However, resonance also tells us that certain imaginary quantities can also be added. On the other hand, the product of imaginary quantities produces real physical quantities.

1. What is then supposed to tell us that certaint hings CAN'T be added?
For example, art, cannot be added. If you make a drawing of a drawing of a drawing of a drawing of a drawing made by Picasso, and you are a really bad drawer, then, accroding to reasonance, your drawing, still being much mroe horrible than picasso's masterpiece of art, yours is mroe artistic, for the fact that your is a a piece of art of a peices of art of a.... etz, and thus, all the artisiticity is added. But this is NOT true.
My second comment will come latter, I have to do some history homework. | | | | Raider of the lost time

It is discrete, it is full, it is complete, it is total, it cannot be divided. It is the one and only. It is unique. It is you. It is me. It is him, her, she, he, it. It is an isolated system.
