After reading the title of this thread I rushed in here to save my friend One Eye. I thought he had gotten drunk again, put on a blonde wig and tried to fornicate with the king’s porpoises.

Carry on. Nothing to see here.

The king has porpoises?

Just curious how we can live in the universe and cannot prove it exists whilst we are already living in it.

I think you are asking the wrong questions.

How so?

Observation is simply perception. Perception varies from one person to another.

Back to my final exam problem. Prove that the universe exists.

Maybe this will help explain what I am trying to say.

I grew up in a very small town in Northern Wisconsin. The population of that town the year I graduated high school was 86 people. Of those 86 people, 60 of them were relatives. My grandfather was born in that town Lived his entire life in that town and died in that town. His entire life he never travel more than 50 miles from town. To him, to his "perception", that was his universe. That was his everything. All of his experiences, all of his knowledge, all of his understanding was based in that area.

How would you prove to my grandfather that there was more than that?

[Jack Teach]

Show him some things from other parts of the world, images, photos, food and history from other places that kind of thing.

And Actually feniks, I wasn't asking that question for philosophical reasons. It was just a question. Just a simple question about how the quote grim said works.

Simple. On a clear night, look up.

Again there is that damn problem with observation and perception being individually based.
