It exists.

Not as a car. Concept car.
"Concept" basically means "fantasy ideal". It's used by pricks what imagine shit for a living.

Concept.

what happens if you wnat to visit infinity and perhaps even travel beyond it

(, Fri 11 Apr 2014, 11:46, Reply)
You can't, m8, because it's a concept.
Humanity will never see true infinity because we are finite creatures and limited by our perception of three dimensional space. Infinity is not constrained by three dimensional, or any-dimensional space by definition. Thereby, for all effective measures we can see or utilise, it don't exist, m8.

It's a useful phililsololiphical concept with which to examine our perceptions though, m8.
So it do exist.

You can't measure the immeasurable, so it don't

(, Fri 11 Apr 2014, 12:05, Reply)
Measurability isn't a requisite for existence.
This is evinced by reality being dependent on perception.
(, Fri 11 Apr 2014, 12:09, Reply)
According to science, it is.

(, Fri 11 Apr 2014, 12:10, Reply)
Science is just one of myriad understanding mechanisms.

(, Fri 11 Apr 2014, 12:11, Reply)
But it exists in the conceptual universe.
So it is real.

You really should be more clear.

See above, conceptual universe don't exist, m8

(, Fri 11 Apr 2014, 11:50, Reply)
Yes it does. Conceptually.

(, Fri 11 Apr 2014, 11:51, Reply)
No it don't. Concepts are concepts.
Concepts can't go around being real, otherwise they'd be real and not concepts.
(, Fri 11 Apr 2014, 11:52, Reply)
Depends what you mean by 'real'.
Reality itself is a concept.
(, Fri 11 Apr 2014, 11:57, Reply)
Fact. The whole thing exists only as a by product of what we see and hear
two things that we cannot definitively prove with anything beside our own sensory input. Bang on. It's impossible to say whether anything's real or not. Pretty basic Descartism, here.
(, Fri 11 Apr 2014, 12:01, Reply)
Precisely.
So it does exist, and yet, it might not.

So what we're saying here, basically, is that you're well sussed.
(, Fri 11 Apr 2014, 12:02, Reply)
Since I'm saying that concepts don't exist, I don't think I am, m8

(, Fri 11 Apr 2014, 12:05, Reply)
But concepts do exist, so you are.

Nope

What about Conceptual Art?

(, Fri 11 Apr 2014, 11:45, Reply)
Art exists for art's sake, right?
Thereby, if somebody's creating it for any other purpose then it ain't even art anymore. So it don't exist.
