It actually fits the story seeing as to how the author was trying to highlight what he thought the world could become. If he were to persevere than it would be like every other book.

Yah, I like how it feels strange and unconventional.

Actually, space is expanding which means that space has to have an end somewhere.

Our universe is expanding, but there are other universes with different nuclear laws.

I guess you can state this as a fact because you've been there?

ProggyMan · 09-08-2007, 02:08 PM

No, but I'd say it's a prett good guess, wouldn't you? If other laws are different why not that one?

**cardboard adolescent** · 09-08-2007, 02:10 PM

If what other laws are different? Are you just taking it for granted that there is more than one universe?

ProggyMan · 09-08-2007, 02:12 PM

Pretty much. Physical laws differ from dimension to dimension(Theoretical). I think I'll drop this debate since there are so many theories that are impossible to prove.

**cardboard adolescent** · 09-08-2007, 02:15 PM

That's all I was getting at.

Ok. Physics are hard to discuss over the internet.
