The internet does not exist when you are not on it.

Nahhhh, its a quantum effect. You have to observe it to collapse it's wavefunction.

ahhh...I just trust everyone on this site as a VERY clever scientific person.

But you could have carried on with faceitiousness because I would only have joined in pretending to believe stuff I didn't believe and placing psuedo clever-scientific questions.

I did walk past a university once !

For Eddy, the Space-Time-Continuum is like a Klein Bottle. If it exists, you are both inside it and outside it.
