Pick your poison! Archived Message Posted by Blazer on February 17, 2025, 17:17:36, in reply to "oh god dammit" What’s more upsetting: trying to grasp the idea of infinity—that there is no beginning or end to existence? Or that existence is finite and at some point there was nothingness before existence/God. And if that’s true, what created existence/God? (I went down a YouTube rabbit hole of what relativity theory tells us happens inside a black hole after you cross the event horizon as you approach the singularity and time ends. But you probably get “spaghettified” before that happens, so no need to worry about it.) [Skeletor] Till we meet again! [/Skeletor] Previous Message I didn't need to spiral on a Monday!
