I actually have had many friends swear they had seen me in places I hadn't been! It's certainly possible but there's no proof yet.

Deep under the ice surface of Europa, exists a salty liquid water ocean, heated by the core, much akin to Earth.

There was no evidence for a flat OR round earth. Once the research was done, the conclusion became evident. Same holds for sub-atomic particles and the question as to whether they are micro universes.

There are people that still believe the earth is flat FWIW.

Yeah, don't scientists suspect life could evolve on Europa once the Sun balloons? I'm sure I read/saw that somewhere.

They are hoping to design a craft that can fly to Europa and drill through that ice surface in hopes of detecting life. I think there's a good chance it may be there in some rudimentary form.

They suspect it may be there now.

The evidence for a flat Earth was people were walking around on it and it looked pretty flat too. 2000 years ago, what little evidence there was regarding the shape of the Earth pointed to it being flat, not round.

As for sub-atomic particles, philosophers and scientists once believed atoms were the fundamental building blocks of stuff, then they discovered protons and neutrons and electrons, then they discovered protons and neutrons were made of smaller things called quarks. Who knows what they'll discover as technology improves, but I wouldn't be surprised if quarks are made up of still smaller stuff. It's like nothing being able to travel faster than the speed of light, that was regarded as bullet-proof fact, but they've recently done experiments that seems to show entangled photons sharing information several thousand times faster than the speed of light. We don't really know anything.

What do you mean 100%?
You honestly don't believe that a monkey knows how a typewriter works - how to strike the keys one at a time, how to change a ribbon, etc - let alone have a working knowledge of English language - spelling, sentence structure, punctuation etc - and also have a keen sense of drama to write such stories?
Preposterous! Even in this universe the odds were nill that Shakespeare himself type out the complete works of Shakespeare. For he lived a full two and a half centuries before such an invention!

Everyone knows dimensions are infinite bro. And everything is infinite. Our three dimensional world is comprised of an infinite amount of two dimensional plains, which are in turn comprised of an infinite amount of one dimensional planes. The same rule goes for all dimensions greater than the third as well.

Haha. Forget whether monkeys know how to change a ribbon. It's like this: is it likely that a monkey would change the ribbon correctly and type out known words? Of course not. Is it possible? Yes. And in an infinite universe everything that can happen does hapen and happens an infinite number of times. It's mathematics. Imagine the universe as a huge lego kit consisting of trillions and trillions of pieces; in an infinite universe those pieces are arranged in every way possible an infinite number of times, and every arrangement of those pieces plays out in every way possible an infinite number of times.

And if you have the time, check out this BBC documentary about infinity. It's well worth 60 minutes of your life:
