thats why uncertainty's so good

I like the reassurance part, I agree with that a lot.

This is hard to reply because in reality we don't know what will happen to us in the future. So we don't know if some of the things we plan to achieve will be posible. All I can think right now is that we must fulfill our destiny (whatever it might be) so that when we die there won't be any regrets.

I dont believe things are certain. Nothing in life is certain, because everything has an exception.

The only thing that is for certain is [SPOILER - highlight to read]: that nothing is ever certain

oh..i dunno..lots of small thigns...like..it is certain that i'm 17 years of age.
i could say that it is certain that the sun will rise tomorrow......that's acertainty for me.....and i'ma sking you if you're saying that there's a possibility for it to not rise. in that case.....your theory on anything not being certain is you accepting EVERY single theoretical and practical possibility. (ex: like it turning into a supernova tonight..and so on)

Modern science is wrong if nothing is ever truly certain???

Decent scientists would be insulted. This isn't the Victorian Age any more, you know. Uncertainty is one of the base principles of science now.

However, I find philosophical scepticism very tiresome.

Have you never heard of the uncertainty principle?
Modern physics is all about uncertainty and probability, rather than classical newtonian physics.

Well, to quote Omega, "If you wait long enough the improbable will happen, if you wait forever the impossible will happen." However, we theoretically can't wait forever to find a way to become immortal since for the moment we're not... I'm not making sense am I happy

well, they teach the foundations of physics with newtonian physics, but if you go into modern and theoretical physics, the newtonian laws of physics dont work, and in modern physics, nothing is certain. There are degrees of certainty and confidence.

true but even those basic laws of physics which as you said is newtonian physics is wrong, they should teach ppl that big grin

Well I guess we've just discovered a certainty - people will always be mis-informed!

maybe Baylin, maybe tomorrow someone invents the way to get all knowledge in a second and then we won't be

But I suggest we drop the science stuff, I shouldn't have written modern day sciences, everyone happy now? stick out tongue

It doesn't matter if they find a way to stop death by natural cuases. The earth will still be incinerated by the sun in a few billion years and all those Immortal people will die anyways.

Death is inevitable, no matter what is done. Everyone is going to die someday.
