However, quantum mechanics suggests a compromise by partially recognizing determinism thus expanding thy imagination likewise intellect all the way to the edge of the universe, unless infinity has a thing or two to say, considering the endless universal ocean in which you and I are but two drops who help weave the universe. But perhaps you can prove that I am not an elephant and with certainty. « Last Edit: Feb 27th, 2019, 7:43am by alien2 » IP Logged alien2 Uberpuzzler     Gender: Posts: 6991 Re: What am I, exactly?   « Reply #3 on: Mar 6th, 2019, 8:56am » Quote Modify Yes.

This also excludes aliens from another planet.

But I have to wonder if the same is true for the 2nd. I still think that you can't prove that I am not an alien.
