If you've seen it before, please let others rack their brains for a while...

Overheard at a holiday party:

"My my, you've grown. How old are you?"
"The day before yesterday, I was 18. Next year I will be 21."

How can this be possible?

Does mathematics obey nature, or does nature obey mathematics?

This is like the chicken or the egg. I believe in God, so my opinion will be based on that. If you do not, that's ok and feel free to give your opinion, but please don't bash anyone for their belief.

It's like the question Einstein asked: Did God have a choice when he created the Universe?

I think the Universe started with blueprints. Those blueprints dictate how matter and energy would interact. Those blueprints are based on mathematics. So, it is my opinion that the math came first.

Thus, I believe nature obeys mathematics. For example, in Newton's Apparatus, there's only one way those balls will bounce given the initial position. If two balls are pulled back, two balls will fly up on the other side. They have no choice but to do that in order to conserve both energy and momentum.

Therefore, I believe God didn't have a choice. If He wanted a Universe like this, all of the laws had to be the way they are.

You are in a room with three electrical switches. One of the switches operates a lamp that is in another room. You cannot see the other room from where you are or any light coming from it.

You are allowed to leave your room only once to go check on the lamp. How do you determine which of the three switches is connected to the lamp?

What if (after a double blind clinical study), a placebo was found to be almost as effective as the drug being tested. Would it be medically ethical to release the placebo in presciption form?

Has it ever been done? (and why not)

I am so curious to know if they really exist. How they make a re-entry in our atmosphere so easily & vanish in split seconds, the most amazing part is that there space crafts are soundless like a flying owl !
