Much the opposite, in fact.
what? history is the most important subject. those who ignore it are doomed to repeat it.
But it will exist and thus isn't a concept or a theory since it will happen. What will happen 10 minutes from now? I don't know but I know something will happen in 10 minutes for sure. It is the future.Originally Posted by Cloud No.9
It is like asking 'If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it does it still make a sound?'
There really isn't suppose to be a definite answer to the question as it is how you interrpert it. I am sure Cloud No. 9 got that which is why Cloud didn't make a follow up post as we seemed to have agreed to disagree.
3 things that have nothing to do with history?
1.... solar flare destroying planet.
2.... my next bowel movement
3.... the fact that I'm planning to learn tap-dancing while showering
wow, u r really smart......im serious........thtz it.........uve done it!!!!!!!!!
actually i just never got round to the follow up. "But it will exist and thus isn't a concept or a theory since it will happen. What will happen 10 minutes from now? I don't know but I know something will happen in 10 minutes for sure. It is the future." actually there is no gurantee that anything will happen. the universe may collapse upon itself in 9 minutes 59 seconds and time and space will no longer exist.
as for the tree in the woods. sound is a perception.it is how we perceieve the vibration of air particles. it only exists once it is heard as sound. otherwise it is merely air vibrations and not sound.
1) You are wrong since over a day passed from when I said that. So something did happen 10 minutes from thenOriginally Posted by Cloud No.9
Also I don't believe the universe will ever collapse so I can throw that theory out the window
*chucks theory*
2) That is your opinion and is not fact. You have just proven my point that it is perception and that there is no real answer. There are those that say it still makes a sound and those that say what you say and those that say 'if no one is there then how do we know the tree was ever really there or that it fell?' There is no answer. Just more questions.
Does History have a history?
umm...
What about photons?
Time Travelers? Think about it. If they are from the future, so they don't even exist in the time period they visit until they show up there. Heck, our time traveller won't even be born until after he shows up. If none of the events of his life have happened yet, he has a future, not a history. He will be born. He will build a time machine. He will become his own grandfather (just kidding). See nothing about him has already happened.
Time wouldn't have a history either.
