*mimes a box with no one inside of it*

Does emptiness exist? Sort of a philosophical question. If it doesn't exist, then it's not there, and if the emptiness isn't there, then there must be something there.

I think it is safe to say the true nothingness does not exist. I believe it is also safe to say the mimes are very cool, especially when they pull ropes.

Yes. Plus quantum physics suggests it does.

And about the mimes, heres something I wrote. :D

[Mime 1# enters from left stage]
Mime #1:[to himself] this audience in front of the King of England and many other lords will be challenging I hear but as a trained performer I am obliged to please the king, I am a mime no more no less.

[Mime #2 enters from right stage]
Mime #2:
What’s this? Another performer?

Mime #1:
O Gracious God in heaven, its thy brother, he hath come to aid me in pleasing the king.

Mime #2:[to Mime #1 with snobbish tone]
Ah yes my little brother, I received the letter that stated that ‘Mr. Leroy’ was the one invited to serve the King.

Mime #1:[to Mime #2]
Know this I am as good a performer as you, we are brothers, our father was a mime, our grandfathers were mimes and their fathers were mimes and so on, we must work together.
[Addresses the audience]
Know this, despite the libelous remarks of thy kin; we are both mimes and great performers dedicated to our work. Even if I were a few inches away from the blade I would continue performing. Even if death were amidst you in the audience we would continue our services.

Mime #2[to audience]
We are passionate in our work…we love imitating the world in order that those in this one may be happy, even we are injured in the world that we sculpted with our hands we are obliged to be bruised in this one as well.

Mime #1:[to Mime#2]
Yes mime brother!
[Addresses audience]
He speaks the truth, we love the art of producing an alternate reality in order to please those and make the bitter smile. We would willfully die for that cause. And w care about our customers so much that we’d die in that world to make you happy.

Mime #2[to audience slightly nervous]
Do not let a mere sibling rivalry such as ours dull your senses and trick you into thinking we’re dangerous.
[clears his throat]

Mime #1:[to audience]
I shall mime an architect whoso expands Britain’s border.

Mime #2:[to audience]
I shall mime the cook whoso feeds the Red Army of England’s finest men.

Both mimes: Scene!
[begins their pantomimes]
[M1 mimes building, M2 mimes cooking]

Mime #2 picks up an imaginary large pot filled with batter
Mime #1picks up an imaginary box full of bricks
They both accidentally run into each other and as passionate mimes are obliged to drop their goods

Mime #2:[with angry tone]
You bloody git! I was performing my pantomime here!

Mime #1:[defensively]
How dare you get out of character, you disgraced our whole family. Never there was an occasion where a Leroy loses face!

Mime #2:[evasively]
Well if you didn’t come here uninvited-

Mime #1:
That letter was for both of us

Mime #2
Oh really? I thought only I was invited to the king’s palace

Mime #1
You knave! You’ve broken all honor of your family just for fame! I shall not live to see the Leroy family fall, let this be our last performance in our father’s memory.
[Unsheathes imaginary sword]

Mime #2
In this last performance I shall slice you to ribbons
[Unsheathes imaginary sword]
[Both jump on table and start swash buckling]
M1 loses his sword and falls backward
M2 sheaths sword pulls out an imaginary gun and shoots at him
M1 dodges imaginary bullet
M2 attacks M1 with bat
M1 creates boundary, grabs the boundary by the sides and whacks M2 over the head with it.
M2 pulls out an uzi and starts firing at M1
M1 runs off stage and with an imaginary howitzer and fires it
M2 dodges the shot and starts untying an imaginary rope while M1 reloads
M1 one prepares to fire when he notices an imaginary anvil above him which M2 finishes untying
M1 dodges the anvil, M2 runs off stage and returns with an imaginary rocket launcher and starts firing at him
M1 dodges it, both pull out small knives and attack each other

Mime #1
I lived a mime, and now I die a mime and so dieth the dishonor
[dies]

Mime #2
Oh damn! There goes my career.
[dies]

If you shoot a mime, do you need to use a silencer?

They're what.

Hey, they were good enough for the Academy Awards show.

If you shoot a mime, do you need to use a silencer?

Yes...or the director will get mad at you. :p That is of course if its on stage.

It's amazing what nothing can do to a man. Like make your blood boil out your ears and your eyes go pop.

Don't shoot mimes. A mime is a terrible thing to waste.


:confused: :sniper:

Or what.

*nods* Mimes can be cool.

However, there must be emptiness at some level, otherwise everything would be jam packed and touching everything else. Which would probably cause a black hole to form which then goes into finger, up through the arm and into brain and death. If only thimbles had been invented says family of seamtresses.

I was hired as a mime once, it sucked. I think that people don't really understand the point......

anyway, about the emptiness I don't know, I can't wrap my mind around "nothing" it irks me.......like in an atom, what's in between the electrons? in my mind it would have to be something or they would stick together.....right? but apparently the answer is "nothing", but I can't seem to grasp that, I tell you it irks me to no end.

Is this a Firefly reference perhaps?

With regards to emptiness... it's not like the Sun is prevented from sticking to the earth because of a few measily molecules per cubic metre between the two bodies.

What erks me is that theoretically you never touch anything else. Because some force will always repel the molecules in your fingers before they touch the object. So what you're actually feeling is the repulsion of between you and an object and not the actual object...

What do you think the point is then?
it's more art, less entertainment.

Personally I think all mimes should be hunted down and torn apart by vicious dogs, same goes for ventriloquists.

it's more art, less entertainment.Are you saying that the two are mutually exclusive. You can get arty entertainment and entertaining art. But, I think I know what you mean.

Hear, hear!

the people around here seem to think the mime is there to entertain, and when they are bored with it, they decide it's stupid. If they came from the other direction, they may have a little more respect for it as an art form.

That being said, my true art is clowning, I was only briefly hired as a mime.

Casimir effect?

*runs*

Clowning is love (like cats)... I should really get back into unicycling, I used to alright at it and liked it a lot.

no, I was hired for a street fair, only had to mime for the weekend, then some people who saw me there hired me for a party.

unicycling wins! I suck at it though.

I hate mimes. I have nightmares about them, acting like you're in a box....reminds me of the mafia when I threw people in trunks and buried people alive....wait...what are we talking about?:confused:

unicycling wins! I suck at it though.One of the few things I'm good at. My balance is great if I'm moving, but if I have to balance and stand still then I doubt I could ever prove to a policeman that I was sober.

Its seems I've timewarped myself again... c.c

Casimir effect?And what would that be? Physics is not especially a hobby of mine, nor is it my degree subject.

And what would that be? Physics is not especially a hobby of mine, nor is it my degree subject.

A weak force that exists even in vacuum between two uncharged objects that repels them from each other.

LOL :D



btw, mimes dont talk .....

A weak force that exists even in vacuum between two uncharged objects that repels them from each other.Ah, I was kinda thinking of the strong force when I typed out my post. Wait... do I mean the strong force? I mean the force that at longer distances is weaker than gravity, but as two particles get closer it grows and then gets stronger than gravity so the net force is repulsive and not attractive.

Does emptiness exist? Sort of a philosophical question. If it doesn't exist, then it's not there, and if the emptiness isn't there, then there must be something there.

Like many "philosophical questions" this is merely taking advantage of the vagueness and ambiguity of the English language to make bizarre statements seemingly consistent.

Emptiness is the state of nothing being present. We can only measure emptiness in a limited sense, though, i.e. we have to test for the absence of specific things that we know how to detect. So, something can be empty with respect to the things we are considering.

For example, we might call a room "empty" if it has no furniture in. Of course, it has air in it, but that is not relevant, so it is empty for our purposes.

LOLZ more!
Ha! In your face, Purpleplexity! Curious Inquiry has spoken.

Don't shoot mimes. A mime is a terrible thing to waste.

Then there is zero-point energy or the energy in a vacuum which is a kind of state of emptiness according to physics.

As well you should. Dr. Mc Ninja>all
