Bullshit and BullshittersWe've had questions about lies and liars in the past, but this time we're asking about the sort of fantasist who constantly claims they've got a helicopter in the garden or was "second onto the balcony at the Iranian Embassy siege". Tell us about the cobblers you've been told, or the complete lies you've come out with.
Thanks to dozer for the suggestion

That's not what I'm saying at allI'd be the first to advocate trying to figure it all out, but when it comes to things like the origin of the universe, I don't think an answer we'd understand is even possible. Even if it turns out the M-theorists are, in some sense, 'right', and the universe was born in a collision bettwen 11-dimensional membranes in M-space (I saw it on horizon, I'm not going to pretend any genuine knowlefge), does that make us any the wiser? It's just words for things we can never get our heads round - we are so bound up in time and space that even general relativity is a bit of a headfuck.
