Just following on ...If what we thought was nothing is something then that should encourage some members here because it means their search will never be fruitless; they will always find something even if it is nothing.RegardsColin

Several years back, there was a story about a little old lady who attended a science conference about space and time. Somewhere during the conference, she became very upset about something she'd heard one of the speakers say, and decided to stay after the meeting and follow up on her concerns. After the meeting she found the Scientist who upset her and approached him to ask about what he had said. She asked, How long did you say it would be before the Sun would burn-up and destroy the Earth... [ More ]

Thanks Four4meI particularly like the Warm bit. I go even further and have Luke as well as Prior, Hot, Warm and Cold.But you know what I found interesting lately? As a boy I used to always wonder about this space thing which they said consisted of nothing. How could it be nothing when the Sun's rays were travelling through it? Turns out that the current thinking, if I understand it correctly, is that there is no nothing and that space is competing energy fields. Enough said.RegardsColin

I have taken history of numbers of say 10 past draws and put them in order most numbers drawn first, second, third etc. Then reversed the order and found that cold numbers hit as often as hot numbers with warm numbers mixed in, almost equally in fact. So I think it's irrelevant.And you could say as win d suggests. That the present number is frozen in time and the past number is lost in time and the future number remains to be seen.I propose we build a time machine and move forward in time record... [ More ]

We will never travel back in time. If we could .....we would have been here by now. LOL I do believe we will travel forward in time one day. A small munchy for thought.

If the previous Draws have some bearing on the next Draw does that mean if we reverse the Order of the history that the future has some bearing on the past? Food for thought.Colin
