00:00:21 <GregorR> calamari: I think it's some boring scientific name.
00:00:27 <int-e> I couldn't build up the energy to change the wiki page to that table either ...
00:00:47 <calamari> I wouldn't doubt it.. lets see if I can find it
00:01:20 <GregorR> What's the name of our universe? Is it just Universe?
00:01:53 <GregorR> Prediction: Despite the meaning of the word "universe", if we find that there are parallel dimensions, we will still call each one a different "universe"
00:01:59 <calamari> the Milky Way is part of the "Local Group"
00:02:51 <GregorR> That's even lamer than some scientific name!
00:03:20 <calamari> and that's part of the "Virgo Supercluster"
00:03:56 <GregorR> puzzlet: BUt the term "Milky Way" has such a bizarre, humans-are-idiots history 8-D
00:04:11 <int-e> well, the moon is made of cheese.
00:04:19 <int-e> and where does cheese come from?
00:04:40 <GregorR> I don't care, I hate cheese.
00:05:14 * GregorR blasphemes the name of the Great Cheese God.
00:12:12 <{^Raven^}> our universe is part of the multiverse, beyond that i'm not sure there is any terminology available
00:26:34 <GregorR> That is not the original definition of the word multiverse, and is a corruption of both words :P
00:27:22 <GregorR> "Universe" was supposed to mean /everything/, no matter how much that is, whether it be multiple dimensions or parallel existances or whatnot.
00:27:56 <GregorR> Hence I suppose my previous prediction has already come true :P
00:29:39 -!- BigZaphod has quit.
00:41:34 <cpressey> by "everything" do you include the set of all sets that do not contain themselves? :)
00:42:41 <int-e> Yes. And then I disappear in a puff of logic smoke. Green one.
00:45:55 <GregorR> I was referring to physical existance. But I'm unsure whether that changes the paradox.
00:48:39 <GregorR> You know what I hate? The phrase "life as we know it." Every time somebody wants to argue against the theory of evolution, they use the phrase "life as we know it" hence completely invalidating their argument.
00:50:10 <GregorR> Or rather, argue against non-divine abiogenesis.

01:06:47 <int-e> paradoxes don't matter to reality.

07:53:26 <GregorR> {^Raven^}: I don't find any of them vulgar. Omni- means all, and hence should also encompass everything. But the problem is that there's no such term that's elastic. What they should do is, when they discover something bigger, label THAT the omniverse, then label what WAS the omniverse something else.

16:47:28 <Keymaker> question; can i be connected to other places than irc.freenode.net at the same time?
16:47:38 <Keymaker> (not that i'd had any other channel anyways..)
16:53:28 <grimace_> keymaker: your irc client should allow it...

16:59:54 <Keymaker> thanks. i'm too lazy to try it since i don't have the need, but i was just curious.
17:28:29 <GregorR> Pff, who goes anywhere but freenode anyway :P
17:28:46 <GregorR> DALnet? DALnet?! Putz on DALnet!!
17:30:04 <jix> i'm on euirc and freenode
17:31:12 <GregorR> It's juuuuust feasable that I was being sarcastic :)
17:32:12 <jix> hmm never thought about that...
17:34:00 <jix> but yes it could be possible

18:02:49 <int-e> jix, are you bored?
18:03:08 <jix> i'm working on my webpage
18:03:23 <jix> i think i'll rewrite it using Visual Basic .NET
18:03:58 * int-e remembers what channel he's on.
18:04:10 <jix> because that's mircosoft compatible and that is very important for everyone
18:04:23 <jix> Wahahahahahahaha
18:04:48 <jix> i just had to laugh...
18:05:42 <int-e> yes. Mad scientists usually do that.
18:07:21 <jix> do mad scientists tell other people the opposite of their own opinion?
18:07:34 <jix> if they do, i think i'm one
18:08:25 <int-e> Well, it depends on the scientist and the people, but inconsistency is part of the job, yes.
18:09:05 <int-e> I mean how are you supposed to stop a determined, logically thinking mad scientist? He has to make mistakes sometimes, otherwise the 'good guys' wouldn't win at the end.
18:25:26 <lament> actually the good guys never win.
18:25:35 <calamari> that reminds me.. need to download Mono for my fall C# class
18:25:41 <lament> there's a mad scientist conspiracy to make it seem like they do.
