Why does pain hurt?

I either get a strange look or "because it does". I still dunno why it hurts, or what pain even is. I feel pain, but I have no idea why it hurts me, or what "hurt" is. Ah fuck, I'm just diving by zero here.
Pain is a message produced by a network of nerves to tell you that something that's not right is happening. One of the body's limits is being passed in some way and the hurting is the warning light.

Our brains have simply come to interpret the activation of those nerves as the hurting sensation - just as the brain has come to interpret the activation of the nerves in our ears as sound.

OT: Why is there air?
During the formation of our planet oxygen and nitrogen atoms were trapped in various compounds throughout the earth's crus. The first life-forms that evolved did not require oxygen, thoguh they did require the carbon and phosphorous that the oxygen and nitrogen were bonded to. Thus they metabolised the compounds and produced oxygen nad nitrogen as a waste product.

Or, if you're a Creationist, God placed it here for us to breathe so our internal metabolisms would have the secondary fuel source it requires.

What would happen if an unstoppable force met an indestructible wall?
Force Transference.
Wrong, if the force is unstoppable then it cannot lose any of its energy when passing through the wall or it is in fact stoppable just very hard to stop.
Wrong again. A force is not made up of energy; the energy is resultant that acts upon the object due to the force.

One thing first: Unstoppable force is the same thing as an infinite force.

Let's assume that the original poster means "immovable object", not "indestructible object". The answer to the second is as Zeeky said; force transferrance. The indestructible object would be subject to the unstoppable force and would undergo infinite acceleration. The original object would rebound with exactly negative infinite acceleration, itself being an unstoppable force as well.

Or both objects would be annihilated.

Now, the first one (immovable object). An immovable object by definition must be of infinite mass; this means that the energy required to move the object is infinite - hence, immovable.

Hold on, here's where it gets interesting. The object going at an infinite acceleration will be of infinite mass itself (laws of relativity, the object will be travelling at the speed of light due to the infinite acceleration) and, as such, will in fact be subject to infinite kinetic energy. When this encounters the immovable object... the immovable object will be moved.



The trouble with this question is that the unstoppable force and the immovable object are essentially two sides of the same coin. The theoretical immovable object is an object of infinite mass that cannot be moved by any real force and can only be moved by an infinite force - which is the aforementioned unstoppable force.

Why does science team have vapor for brains?

I've asked it before, but never got an answer.

They're both half right and half wrong.
At the end of the court case the judge's decision overwrites the original agreement. So, whatever the judge says, goes.
Aha! that however was not the question
The question was "Who is right?", the answer is "The judge."
but he wasn't a option... The options are the student or the teacher. However why would the judge's ruling override the original agreement? That is also a legal binding contract.

If printing more currency makes the currency worth less, why doesn't burning mass quantities of it make it more valuable?

Why are there male nekos?
Also, why do all 13 year olds on chatrooms roleplay cyber eachother with poorly made and spelled profiles that make no sense, then if I insult one they come back later with a different account and try to cyber me as a prank, but fail coz I could tell it was them and them saying they want to do me in the ass has nothing to do with the actions they tried to take on me, and why did she still find it funny after humiliating herself in failed prank cyber in a public chat?

Infinite + Infinite = ???
Great, this'll stick in my head for eternity.
Thank you, Jackson.
no problem, it's practically my job to do things like that.

Although I tend to confuse myself more often than others....

Infinity + Infinity = infinity (not 2 * infinity as that statement is nonsense in terms of mathematics).
Infinity - Infinity = undefined (the process results in an infinite number of answers)
Infinity * Infinity = infinity (Again, infinity^2 is mathematical nonsense)
Infinity / Infinity = undefined (the process results in an infinite number of correct answers)
my brain hurts :(

Ever had a question no one could answer?

Like, 'is there a bigger douche in the world then Bobby Kotick?'

Post here!
Dear Sieg Firebrand,

I'm never posting first in your threads again, I woke up this morning with 11 quotes, all from this thread, and most of them made my brain explode with confusion.

Your's sincerely,

The mind exploding first post regretting guy :(

Who is phone? (Inside joke between a bunch of blokes I know on skype.)
You guys and /b/.
I was phone.
OT: Do blind people dream? I mean blind people from birth...
Heck. I didn't even know that was from /b/. I just hear them say 'who is phone' on a frequent occasion.

That's a good question there, anyways.

Fire the gun at Miley Cyrus and beat the flying shit out of Beiber, I want to see him suffer. Double kill!

OT: A man lives on the penthouse(top floor) of an apartment building. Each day he goes to work at 7 o'clock, using the elevator outside his apartment. When he comes back from work at 5 o'clock, he can only travel halfway up the floors with the elevator and must walk the rest of the way, unless there is someone else in the lift or unless it's raining. Why?

Think OUTSIDE the box for this one.

There are three incredibly quick and agile, almost too much for the human eye, walking piranhas that can stop their prey's movement with a venomous bite. Consequently, and ironically, they are very, very slow when eating. They take hours upon hours, upon hours to do so.

You and your significant other, the love of your life, have managed to escape to a basement in some nondescript building. The piranhas are hard at work gnawing at the door.

You both are waiting for the inevitable to happen in the following seconds. Also, you have one firearm with but one bullet and your significant other is a hardcore catholic and does not believe in suicide and has just told you that he/she won't do it. No matter what.

You have little time left.

What do you do?
