    we have a name for nothing, it is space.

    space is the lack of something which is why it can be the only infinite.

    nono, space is nothing, it neither expands or shrinks, there is only a finite amount of mass so that neither expands or shrinks either... and as far as i am concerned the universe moves very slowly (when looked at in the right scale) the out side edge is the fastest expanding/retracting but there is no difference between the space beyond that edge and the space before it.

    if there is a nothing, then something would fill it, the universe likes an equilibrium but forces like magnetism and gravity slightly effect it, well then for all space there should be mass to fill it, and if the universe is endless then so is mass.

    no, mass is finite, space is infinite but only because it consists of nothing phisical, space exists within the earth as well... space between molecules, space between atoms, it is all there.

    but if mass was infinite then space would have to be more infinite to accommodate it without it infiltrating our space, and that is impossible unless mass is finite.

    you are using infinite in the theoretical sense, where infinite just means a number we do not yet know. Nothing can be infinite apart from space and that is only because it is a 0, and you can add 0 to 0 as many time as you like.

    Ok

    Age affects testimony because the older you are, the more experience you have, hence you get a fuller picture of your testimony's validity and effect.

    Good?

    well... ok heres the scenario, an 8 year old, a 45 year old and an 80 year old witness the same bank robbery, the robber is 42 years old and holding a gun...

    who will recall best and how do you get the best recall out of each witness?

    your choices for that last bit are open ended and closed ended questions Smile

    The 8 year old should be a better witness due to not haign as much bias as the 45 year old man.

    the 45 year old is the best witness, there is an effect called the own age bias, people recall other people who are closer to their own age best (there is also a weapon focus effect but i am ignoring that because it would effect all of them Razz)

    but theres still the question of how do you get information out of the witnesses in the best way?
