everything. like how do we know what we know about the universe, and does the universe actually exist (yes I know this is a common question) and if it does what was there before?
Humans and what humans are perceiving are two different things, don't you think? The universe exists outside of us. We're here...but when we all go extinct..."the universe" (what we perceive) will still be here.
What do you mean by "there before"? It's always "been there". Do you think that all you see around you wasn't there before "perceiving beings" could see? We're discovering it as we go. Amoeba don't have eyes, for example. That doesn't mean what we see isn't there for them. They just don't know it..
Do you think, for example, the imperceptible spectra of light "wasn't there" before we discovered it? It's always been there, I thought.
I said if I was guaranteed to come back. But if I chose to stay, I would. I'm actually not one to cling to this existence for as long as possible. I'm actually not as far as I want to be and I'm approaching 30...so I might go into the after life some entity offered, even if I wasn't guaranteed on coming back. though if I did come back I'd write a book, unless there's a contract saying I can't. Probably is. but i'll know, and people won't believe me, so there's no point.
I don't even know how to respond to you sometimes...book? If you go and come back, I doubt "book deals" would be on the list of the world's concerns for it. You're too funny.
