Interexistance (existance of the internet)

[the mind]

I came up with a theory the other night while i was sitting in the tub. With bubbles. And soap. And...oh whatever. And so i was thinking: Where is the internet? does it actually exist? Sure there are servers and all, but if I created a website then where is it? WHERE. In reality, all things exist and everything has mass. I am stumped on this one. A little help? How about a poll?

I'm going to look some of this stuff up. (Just reserving my spot so I don't forget to re-post the info)

I think that the internet does exist out there somewhere...isn't that what is inside of a server? What is a server now that I think about it? I thought an actual server was a block of computer that held internet information...am I wrong?

Does the intenet exist?

let me ask my grandma

 

[Joker Boy]

Will you email her through a nonexistant dimension?

 

[waster]

Will you email her through a nonexistant dimension?

she still alive...

 

[Joker Boy]

she still alive...

I know. But the internet doesn't exist. Thats what I meant, not that she was dead but through the internet.

but it does... it's not what you see... it's what you know !!
think about it again ...

The Internet is a series of tubes. And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line...
(Still don't get it? Ah well...)

Back on topic, your website would be here, or some other server if you happen to have another host. A server is just a computer. And the Internet backbone is a bunch of wires a bunch of companies own, I believe.

Ty, and if you can't see the page?

 

[waster]

if i can't see the page... then the internet not exist

 

[swirly]

yes it exists. electricity exists right? well, how does a machine run? electricity. but better yet, what makes up the images and what no we see? binary code. binary is composed of 1's and 0's. or tiny gates that open and close, ie. opening and closing electrical currents. and electricity is real and it makes up the internet. so lets use the transitive theor from math- if electricity=real, and electricity=internet, then internet must=real. I hope this has made since to you guys. but thats how i see it.

Ooh I get it! Matthhh!!! Yeah, but I don't like transitive property of equality, so true though, so true.
