What determines if a room is special?

GeoffC · 02-20-2013, 04:47 AM

Why is something "special" and not, 'normal'?

Solitaire1 · 02-20-2013, 01:14 PM

Is a room considered special if it's designated for a special purpose?

5thWiggleWife · 04-06-2013, 05:17 PM

Is a purpose special if it has a designated space?

Solitaire1 · 04-07-2013, 01:37 AM

Does the space determine if the room is special or does the purpose determine if the room is special?

5thWiggleWife · 04-07-2013, 08:31 AM

If the purpose is special does it really require a special space or room?

Solitaire1 · 04-08-2013, 02:18 AM

Isn't purpose a consideration separate from all other factors, including location?

Is someone really dumb for not knowing the answer to that?

Solitaire1 · 04-09-2013, 01:55 AM

Doesn't finding the answer to questions result in more knowledge and higher intelligence?

red_phoenix · 04-09-2013, 06:58 AM

What about unanswerable questions?

HomeInMyShoes · 04-09-2013, 09:25 AM

What about them?

Solitaire1 · 04-09-2013, 04:37 PM

Don't unanswerable questions lead to more knowledge since, in the process of unsuccessfully trying to answer them, you discover previously unknown information, even if it's just to prove that it's not the answer to the question?

I wonder if the above is the longest question, so far, in this thread?

Isn't the purpose of science to narrowly answer one question, and then pose a lot of other questions that can't be answered without new block grants? Is that a rhetorical question, or did I just state a fact? How do you prove something is right or wrong, if quantum physics governs the universe? To be or not to be, that is a state of existence, or is it existentialism? What if Fat Abe were emaciated and only pretended to be heavy so he could join weight watchers? In an alternate reality, could he really be thin/fat, old/young, or rich/poor, without being either?

Do you regularly apply for funding?

Solitaire1 · 04-10-2013, 12:01 PM

Doesn't the multiverse theory of the universe allow for all possibilities?
