a nerdy version of ancient chineese wisdom

Post by Dr_Watson »

thought up a strange nerdy version of the the old paradoxical chineese saying: "if a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?" on the way home from the res.

If it was possible to experience absolute zero, would you know what it felt like?

the path to enlightenment starts here.

No and you'd die. Plus I don't think that anything is at absolute zero, so how would you create such a situation.

you wouldn't be experiencing it if you didn't know what it felt like

Anyway, you wouldn't be able to feel it since none of the molecules in your body would move, the blood would not flow, the brain would not work.

I was pretty sure that koan originated from Japanese Zen Buddhism.
