Indeed. Although I only know this cause a mate of mine is a physics undergrad.Hashime said:
But more importantly, where did your avatar come from. It's awesome!
I thought the sun didn't have sufficient mass to go supernova.Kiriona said:It's absolute that I currently have eyeballs in my head and they work.
...It's also absolute that the sun will some day go super nova and the Earth will die. Have a nice day!
Geprge Orwell might have a thing or two to say about that.canadamus_prime said:
1984 would like to have a word with you, good sir.canadamus_prime said:
But in all seriousness, the past itself is absolute. It's just the perception of it tends to not be absolute in nature. In relation to the topic, there are absolute aspects that are around us, as others of y'all have mentioned. I'm relatively sure of that fact.
Edit: Gah, curse you Megalodon! Ya stole my thunder!
You know those things that are evrywhere.... Uhhh, what are they called? The laws of physics?
Inb4 Theoretical physics and quantum stuff, that fucks my argument up ¬_¬

In this universe yes, but who says it can't be colder in another universe, another reality?Hashime said:
Every assumed absolute has limits. Our assumptions are based on what we know. Ask any scientist worth his salt, a theory is valid until it is disproven. Every thesis is an hypothesis.

I'd like remind you both that George Orwell's 1984 is a work of fiction and therefore has little baring on reality.Salakayin said:
And stickily speaking what has been done cannot be undone. You cannot go back and change what you have done in the past. So in that sense the past is absolute.
Temperature has nothing to do with potential energy. temperature is a measure of the average kenetic energy of a particle, sinse u cant have negative, it means that all of the molecules have stopped moving. Doestn prevent the mass from being on a spring or suspended in the air, giving it potential energy.crudus said:
except that quantum physics allows for the possibility of time travel, so, you never know.canadamus_prime said:Megalodon said:I thought the sun didn't have sufficient mass to go supernova.Kiriona said:It's absolute that I currently have eyeballs in my head and they work.

Except until someone actually invents time travel or discovers a feasible means of time travel, I'm going to maintain that the past is an absolute.spartan231490 said:except that quantum physics allows for the possibility of time travel, so, you never know.canadamus_prime said:Megalodon said:I thought the sun didn't have sufficient mass to go supernova.Kiriona said:It's absolute that I currently have eyeballs in my head and they work.
