What is 'time'?

Off topic, but it does contain the words space and time. I'm a decorator and I opened up the instructions to some Korean wallpaper a couple of days ago. Read bullet point 6 and 8. I wanted to share it cos I thought it was funny.

This thread has sorted the men from the boys but you Steve take the biscuit.

Best post of the thread Steve. The boffins won't find it funny because they're too busy proving how clever they are on an internet forum (rather than going out to put their knowledge to good use in the real world).

Does the future already exist?
I answered it. It doesn't exist in this universe, though it is already predetermined. It does, however, exist in another universe in the multiverse.



Could you clarify how it doesn't exist in this universe (the one we exist in) but does exist in another we don't exist in?

Does this also mean that the future which belongs to other universes exists in ours but not in theirs?

You mean proving who is better at copying and pasting from Wikipedia?

It's clearly funny, but Steve could've posted it in it's own thread. It's not relevant to this discussion and looks completely out of place.

Also, how do you know whether posters on this thread 'put their knowledge to good use in the real world' or not?

**** /ˈkʌnt/ is a word for the female genitalia, particularly the vulva, and is widely considered to be extremely vulgar.[1] The earliest citation of this usage in the 1972 Oxford English Dictionary, c 1230, refers to the London street known as Gropecunt Lane. Scholar Germaine Greer has said that "it is one of the few remaining words in the English language with a genuine power to shock."[2]

**** is also used as a derogatory epithet referring to people of either sex. This usage is relatively recent, dating from the late nineteenth century.[3] Reflecting different national usages, **** is described as "an unpleasant or stupid person" in the Compact Oxford English Dictionary, whereas Merriam-Webster has a usage of the term as "usually disparaging and obscene: woman",[4] noting that it is used in the U.S. as "an offensive way to refer to a woman";[5] and the Macquarie Dictionary of Australian English gives "a contemptible person."[6] When used with a positive qualifier (good, funny, clever, etc.) in Britain, New Zealand and Australia, it can convey a positive sense of the object or person referred to.[7]

The word appears to have been in common usage from the Middle Ages until the eighteenth century, though was not generally admissible in print until the latter part of the twentieth century, in parallel with the rise of popular literature and pervasive media. The term also has various other derived uses and has been used as noun, adjective, and verb.
 
I'm sorry. I didn't think it deserved it's own thread, so I chose this one because it was getting warm with Irwell and Skashion. Oh well, you can all go back to serious a debate now.

Thank fuck you didn't type your own version of that we would have all been here at midnight reading it.

Just a hunch really... Certain posters seem to spend their waking hours on here expounding all sorts of clever stuff. Probably typical university graduates - Finish their shift at Macdonalds and go home to work as keyboard warriors.

Me? I'm just a lawnmower... You can tell me by the way I walk.
