I am not sure I buy into the Multiverse model though.

I don't, because I never seem to be in the right one where I hit the Powerball, and the Fred Thompson / Sarah Palin ticket wins in a landslide.

Cheers!

The answer is still the same:

There is no evidence of notable loss of life from cancer in recorded history, prior th the industrial revolution.

Now go play ‘til mom gets home.

-- Surely, beyond the edge of this universe there is nothingness. --

It's worse than that. According to certain physical theories, it is possible to have a finite volume without having a boundary. Sort of like earth having a finite area, but no edge to fall off of despite having a finite area.

IOW, even "the void" has a limit. There is no such thing as "nothingness on and on."

Actually, wouldn't it be smaller than a bread box??? A singularity??

But very dense like fruitcake.

That isn’t what you claimed before - you stated that cancer did not exist till the industrial revolution.

If you aren’t going to be truthful please don’t speak to me in the future.

The total amount of sunlight reaching our planet must be diminishing slightly every day, because ... “A trillion comets orbit the sun. The gravel that surrounds them appears, should it hit our atmosphere, as a shower of meteors. The Earth gains a ton in weight every hour from their dust.”

My thought is that the added mass continuously increases the Earth’s relative distance from the sun.

Quote is from page 218 of “Darwin’s Ghost” by Steve Jones.

Again with the personal insults. Seeing as that I have never been rude or insulting to you why are you being so to me?

Then too, the sun’s mass must be continually decreasing because the sun is releasing energy and ... E = MC^2

And that decrease in Sun’s mass would also result in an increasing distance between sun and Earth.

The Sun’s mass is decreasing at a very slow rate - so slowly that the Sun will have burned out before the Earth moves very far away from it.

You’ve never been anything but rude, insulting, and insipid.

I am sure that you will be more than will to provide examples of such behavior on my part so that everyone else reading this will have proof.

It is hard to fathom the density of these things sometimes. Isn’t a neutron star so dense, that a teaspoon of it would weigh as much as Mt. Everest??
