So the story goes a philosophy teacher posts on his final exam only the following question: Prove the chair on my table doesn´t exist. Though everyone wrote up pages of proofs, ones studen got it right. His answer: What chair? Jokes aside, can anyone think of a way to prove that the universe has NOT ended?
All I could get is: I am. I must be somewhere. Somwhere has to exist in order for me to be there. This somewhere constitutes the univers.
I know, lame, can anyone find something better?
You are not.
I am.
what makes you think the universe hasn’t, in fact, ended?
The fact that he/she is posting on a message board?
But I might be imagining that you are posting on a message board. Only the mass delusion we call reality actually tells me so. I mght be insane. I know that I exist. Nothing else can be absolutely proven to me.
What difference does it make? The universe seems real, and that’s all that really counts. All that’s left for us (or just me, if it is just me) is to play the game by the rules, and hope for the best.
and so I say…“Welcome to the Matrix.”
For almost every sort of discussion one has, you can underline with the statement “If the universe exists…” and then we go from there. Proving it is sort of beside the point in most discussions (indeed, pretty much every discussion OTHER than this one), because everyone already agrees to hold the premise that it exists as true.
Proving it true? I have no idea. But the opposite premise: that it doesn’t exist, seems incoherent and self-defeating.
we are all figments of eachothers imagination. the universe doesn’t exist. it did. but now it’s just memories floating in nothingness. we are nothing. 
Well if it’s just memories then on some level it exists.
I still stick to my original statement.
You are not.
I am.
Isn’t this pretty much a duplicate of Eris’s Wittgenstein thread?
Does Eris Wittgenstein exist??
Oh it ended alright, blew up from the center out. Luckily it was so far away we won’t know for years.
Then again maybe not… Does it matter? If this is some fake reality I’ll accept it as real… after all its not that bad a universe.
It makes pretty sahpes in the sky when you connect them twinkley dots…
it really says shapes you only think I made spelling errors.
How is a fake reality possible?
[Man who rules the universe]
I have my universe of my eyes and my ears. Everything else is hearsay.

You can’t blow up the universe: that’s where I keep all my stuff!

Tulley-Not to nitpick but shouldn’t you have included the brain inbetween! 
The universe has no center… not in the same way that you or I have a navel. If you must define a center, it will have to be for the observable universe and then the center is right where you are standing.
