What’s the opposite of matter?

 

Erm...doesn’t matter

 

Yes it does

 

What’s the matter?

 

Stuff, all that stuff

 

We need more space

 

How much space do you need?

 

Masses

 

That’s another matter

 

What you need is volume

 

Turn it down,

 

As a matter of fact,

 

What’s the time?

 

There’s no time

 

It’s an emergency

 

That’s heavy man

 

Actually it’s light

 

The speed of light

 

If you’re tiny enough

 

Time doesn’t exist

 

I’m big like my mum

 

It’s all relative

ah, things were simple in classical physics when the universe could be measured like flour with sticky bits.

Thanks celtic, yes and we're just blood and gubbins heading for an eternity of darknesswink

Hi Rhiannon, ambiguous yes, it's too big a subject to put into sense I think, for me at least.

Hi, Jane, I'm still foggy about what it's all about (I thought is was a series of statements about different things that can be taken different ways), but from your answer to Celt, I gather basically it is about 'what "matter " is', and hence 'has it a future, has it an end'?  God does tell us – Jesus said – that when he comes back, all will be changed, the old destroyed, and all that is wrong here now, and the new, perfect, eternal produced. Something to think on, in relation to human wonderings? Rhiannon
