Horza Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Note all the compelling, well thought-out depictions of eternal torment people have come up with over the aeons and try and find an equally coherent description of heaven. Yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stego Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Hell is probably a lot like a day spent in any other imaginary place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Oh, and hell is also screaming babies that won't stop no matter what. :/It ends my friend, I promise you.:)I know when it is happening it seems eternal, though........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marquis de Leech Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Note all the compelling, well thought-out depictions of eternal torment people have come up with over the aeons and try and find an equally coherent description of heaven.The one that springs to mind is Dante's Divine Comedy. Everyone knows about Inferno, but no-one bothers with Purgatory and Paradise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qhorin Halfhand and Yoren Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 The word Hell brings to my mind images of fire. So you will burn.The whole absence from God idea is far less interesting imagery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Ent Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 How's that hell? I want a sentient calculator.The calculator would no longer be yours. You’d be his. And he’d probably eat you, because you’re just a waste of juicy protons.If P = NP then the Singularity is here. Welcome your new overlords.

Welcome your new overlords.Personally I think P = NP would destroy much of the beauty and mystery of mathematics. People have tried for nearly three centuries to find out if every even number can be expressed as the sum of two primes, and then some bloody computer comes along and develops a proof in polynomial time. Disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marquis de Leech Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 That already happened with the four colour theorem.Yes, but with P = NP, it'd apply to everything.(I'm now having images of rogue bands of mathematicians terrorising computer science departments).
