Descartes is sitting in a bar, having a drink. The bartender asks him if he would like another. "I think not," he says and vanishes in a puff of logic.

"René Descartes (March 31, 1596 – February 11, 1650), also known as Cartesius, was a noted French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist. Dubbed the "Founder of Modern Philosophy" and the "Father of Modern Mathematics," he ranks as one of the most important and influential thinkers of modern times. For good or bad, much of subsequent western philosophy is a reaction to his writings, which have been closely studied from his time down to the present day. Descartes was one of the key thinkers of the Scientific Revolution in the Western World. He is also honoured by having the Cartesian coordinate system used in plane geometry and algebra named after him."
So I think he thought a lot, ergo he has a long article in Wikipedia.

ok lets start up with some fundamentals..... at the same time as u communicate about area u easily recommend the universe as an complete it really is together with area, time, count anti count (and the different form of count if its there)..... now in accordance to Einstein's theory of relativity area and time are bind to one yet another and they variety some thing reminiscent of a chunk of textile.... now in accordance to distinct theories about the starting place and evolution of the universe some thing had happend quickly after the bigbang that brought concerning the universe to enhance a lot swifter than the speed of light (this boom of universe is termed INFLATION) The conventional % decrease reminiscent of there are % limits on roads there is also a % decrease to go back and forth contained in the universe and that is the speed of light it truly is extremely equivalent to three x 10^8 m/s... no longer some thing that has mass can go back and forth swifter than or perhaps on the speed of light the fastest % that we can acquire will be ninety 9.9999% of the speed of light... outdoors The Universe Now the difficult section...... If the universe is each little thing (area, time, count, antimatter, power, etc,.) then wat lies after the universe?.... the answer isn't some thing because there is not any outdoors the universe because each little thing lies interior of it so there can't be some thing outdoors it. Now if u opt for to go back and forth outdoors the universe or perhaps upto the sting of the universe, the regulations of nature does no longer enable u to because the universe is increasing on the speed a lot swifter than ur % it really is only like attempting to capture a bus it really is operating at a % of 100 mph the position as ur % is 10 mph.... Extras...... there is a few thing conventional because the string theory which describes the probabilities of diverse parallel universes mendacity interior of a larges universe called the MULTIVERSE... in accordance to this theory our universe isn't the only one yet there are different diverse universes.... this delivers an yet another answer as to what can lie previous the obstacles ofnour universe...... wish this helps....

It would make no sense to people who haven't studied philosophy, though, but that just makes it funnier.
