We have many writings from the hand of the great man, but this does not seem to be among them. It's not in any work of Newton himself, and the closest equivalent is in a secondary source, Sir David Brewster's Memoirs of the Life, Writings, and Discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton (1855).

Answers are born from question, answer is a thing that without question doesn't exist or simply it isn't a question, like there can't be shadows of there isn't light, because shadows are absence of light, but if light doesn't exist, everything is shadow or shadow doesn't exist, both are valid. This means that if there is answer but not question, every thing is the question or the question doesn't exist. Like if the answer is 80, every combinations of numbers are the questions (60+20, 40×2, etc...) or the question just doesn't exist, it is just a sentence. I now realized that I toke too seriously your comment due to the fact that is just a joke, but maybe can change your life, who knows Edit: sorry for bad english in case there is grammatical errors Edit 2: there are grammatical errors* (isn't this ironic?)

If we haven't been visited by people from the future yet, does that mean that time travel will never be invented?

[@-Vitalis-]

Not being visited yet by a person from the future, doesn't mean time travel hasn't been invented. How can you prove that actually we have been visited... or not? Same goes with aliens: if we still don't have enough (scientific) evidence, that doesn't mean other intelligences don't exist. It'll sound like a damn cheap slogan, but... everything is possible until proven wrong.

Why is 11 called "eleven" and not "onety-one"?

[@kristianlien4515]

Ainlif is composed of ain meaning one and the suffix lif (lifted straigth from the German root lib) meaning "to adhere/remain/remain left over".So, Eleven means literally "one left"(ie one past ten).Hence Eleven. Similary, Twelve comes from ancient German compound word twalif meaning "two left "(ie two past ten). Its kinda hard to explain tho

All this other rubbish is just that. They can stare out at space all they want they're never going to be able to see or know when this imminent return is going to happen.

It's 70% cannibalism

[@mcmneverreadsreplys7318]

Technically, if consuming anything that once was part of the material body of a human being, the answer is YES. The same would hold true of eating anything grown 'downstream' from a human grave. However I think once the body breaks down into its varied chemical parts they are no longer part of a 'collective' human and thus consuming them would not be cannibalism. So it depends on how you understand the form of the word 'Human".

@@KhoiruunisaRF but our imaginations would still people the space outside our solar system with others, gods and goddesses, angels and demons, we would simply create a different landscape for them to live in. Most ancient cultures based their beliefs not on being's in the heavens ,but in the sea,on top of mountains,under their feet, in trees etc. They looked on the stars as simply pretty lights in the sky. I think it feels far more lonely looking up,and knowing that there is all that 'space',and knowing l will ,almost certainly, never find out if there is even the smallest scrap of life (other than viruses!)out there 💔 but that may just be me ?
