...and why is it called "outer space"? Where exactly is "inner space"? (and no-one quote from the movie, or they're getting reported to the moderators!! lol)

Same as outer Mongolia????

Number three has an "official" answer. The universe is finite,though I can't remember the figure. Outside that is nothing. I mean nothing. It's hard to grasp but there is no space and time hasn't started......nothing.

Hi Peter,

Yet more teasers! I don't know about number two, but isn't the answer to number one "Clarence"?

As for number three; I heard one theory about space being infinite - therefore there is no 'other side' - yet having boundaries 'cos it's curved or summat. It just gave me a headache thinking about it so I didn't pay that much attention. Didn't I read that some astronomers believe it's infinite on even numbered days and finite on odd numbered days - and admit they just don't know on Sundays?

My favourite author, Terry Pratchett, came up with a couple of very nice definitions of space:

Space - something with nothing in it.

Space - nothing with everything in it.

I'm babbling again! Time for bed.

Hi Dave

4] God created the universe,sun,moon,man etc. "started on Monday worked until Saturday" rested on Sunday, What did he do on the following Monday?

5] on the same theme, "How long did he spend in the planning stage"? + did he have planning permission?:fool:

What was intended to be put in space? In our house, it often heard, "Do we have a space for this?" So I presume God created space to keep Mrs God happy when she come home from the car boot sale with an 'object'.

Peter,

Where did you get this "He" from?

Didn't you know God is female? That's why the universe is still changing - she's not happy with the decor! Now you know what she's been doing since the first week.

As for planning permission - since when did females EVER need permission?

Gern

PS I think novas were created just to give the universe a nice 'sparkly' look!

Hi Ian,

Some obvious (but possibly wrong) answers:

Biro clicks are annoying

Only if they have nyctophobia - which would be a real b****r!

Sheep can't count!

Before Greenwich it was MT

To give men something to do.

Because she wants to get warm and dry without upsetting the person she REALLY loves! (The only time she will snuggle up to you when she is warm and dry is when you're already too hot - for the same reason.)

Nice shooting Gav., well done!!

 

[Fenlander]

Dave, how come sheep cannot count? Is it a skill they lose as they age? After all, Gambolling Lambs are well known and to be good at that, you must need maths to a certain degree (Just remembered your profession.... should that be need maths or need math?????)

Which of course reminds me of the poor Irish scientist. He almost won a Nobel Prize when he discovered the universal solvent - but unfortunately he couldn't find anything to keep it in! He almost won a second time when, during his search for something to keep his solvent in, he discovered the universal adhesive. He didn't win this time because he couldn't find a container he could get the stuff out of!
