What does this mean? How can something be neither here nor there? If that was true it would be nothing. Then again, there really is no such thing as nothing, at least no one has seen any, so it must be something which would mean it has to be somewhere. So where is it? Everywhere? I would think it to be impossible to be everywhere at once.

Not settled, but not important. (Unless you want to get into the Physics implied).

OOOH! Are we gonna get a physics lesson today? KEWL!

But.....wouldn't this be more of a philosophical issue? Like, 'if a tree falls in the forest; and there's no one around; does it make a sound?'

No physics lesson if I can help it.

Now for a twisted reply:

Question:
Like, 'if a tree falls in the forest; and there's no one around; does it make a sound?'

Answer:
Well that's neither here nor there, but the point is the silly thing fell and nobody was there to hear it.

:lol:

That's fine for something to be neither here nor there, but where is it? It can't be nowhere, because there's no such place as nowhere. Everything is somewhere. And we only care about where it is, not where it's not.

It's like the question of, "Who did this?" and people pipe up with, "Not me." Okay, I didn't ask who didn't do this, I asked who DID do it. :rolleyes:

Answer:

:lol:

So, said fallen tree DID make a sound. It had to have made a sound.
It's a solid object.

You are assuming that the entire universe is covered by the terms "here" and "there". Maybe there is another place that falls outside of both of these areas.

This is an easy one to anyone who has ever done an account reconciliation which should be ALL of you. :tap:

If it is neither here nor there, it is, most likely in transit. If it doesn't show up here or there in the next 20 business days, it is most likely lost which means, even though it is not here nor there, it could be ANYWHERE else besides here or there.

You're welcome.

:buddies:

Well that's a matter of faith in the laws of physics - oops, wrong forum...:lol:

But if you clearly establish where it's not, you are left with where it is! :lol:

The problem is that there are a zillion places where it's not, but only one place where it is. So process of elimination would be tedious.

Yeah, but, if no one was there, how do we know no one was there?

:lmao:

Good point. Now I think everything is in transit. Timewise and spacewise. Therefore everything is neither here nor there. Not only that, it will never get there, just pass thought it on its way somewhere. It will never get there though, because then it would be there and that just can't happen.

And when? Don't be TOO specific, or the Quantum Police will write you up!

Next 20 business days from when? Prove the moment when it was postmarked. When did it actually enter into processing for shipment? What type of shipping? Was it of foreign origin? Foreign with respect to where? If domestic, what are the common carrier restrictions? Do they apply in this instance, and did the unwitnessed falling of a tree displace enough of the space-time continuum to introduce a routing anomaly?

It's funny that that is always the first answer you get.

Has it not already been established that it was Bush's fault?

Good point. Now I think everything is in transit. Timewise and spacewise. Therefore everything is neither here nor there. Not only that, it will never get there, just pass thought it on its way somewhere. It will never get there though, because then it would be there and that just can't happen.

Mr. Stephen Hawking would be so very proud of you. You have reached the Event Horizon phenomenon, where space-time becomes infinitely curved.

Has it not already been established that it was Bush's fault?

:killingme:

Has it not already been established that it was Bush's fault?

Well, that's neither here nor there, but the point is, all we know is there are many who DIDN'T do it. Eliminating all but the culprit might take enough time that the location of the actual deed may have moved with respect to its original location as computed in the space-time continuum, more or less, if it was at rest for any period of time that we can clearly identify.

My mom always told me that if it's neither here nor there, it's not even in your underwear. :shrug:

You are assuming that the entire universe is covered by the terms "here" and "there". Maybe there is another place that falls outside of both of these areas.
In my family we call that "over yonder"

It applies directly to the Phantom Zone.


YW.

My checking account balances prove, beyond any doubt, that things do indeed, get there.

You have reached the Event Horizon phenomenon, where space-time becomes infinitely curved.That's an interesting thing to mention. Because of S-T's curvature, where we think of as "there" may only be our perception of there and not the actual there. The true there may be an incomprehensible number of miles away, in which case we cannot absolutely confirm it is neither here nor there. It is very sneaky!

Does this prove that it can't be both here and there?

My checking account balances prove, beyond any doubt, that things do indeed, get there.

But conditionally! If it will cost you something for it to arrive as planned, it will "get there." If, however, you stand to benefit from its arrival, it will be delayed or lost. Correct?

Made me check.:lmao:

Was it there?

Does this prove that it can't be both here and there?

(Sorry I have to do this): WHEN?

Was it there?

It wasn't here! :shrug:

It wasn't here! :shrug:

It's not here either. And since it's not here, it must be there. Wherever that is.

Was it there?

Oh yeah, I wouldn't have even posted if it wasn't. I'd be running around looking for it. :lmao:

:shrug: 'it'... 'that'..... it's neither here nor there.

So it's 'it'?

Who is 'that'? I thought we were talking about 'it'?

It's already been found, per DR's post. Now we need to know where that is.

What is the meaning of that's neither here nor there? (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_meaning_of_that%27s_neither_here_nor_there)

Answer:
It means that the thing in question is not relevant to the discussion; it's completely meaningless.


neither here nor there (neither here nor there)
Cliché of no consequence or meaning; irrelevant and immaterial. Whether you go to the movie or stay at home is neither here nor there. Your comment—though interesting—is neither here nor there.

1. Schrodinger's Cheshire Cat (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=neither%20here%20nor%20there)

The cat is both here and not here, while simultaneously being neither here, nor there. The cat cannot be nowhere, yet the cat is not everywhere. However, it may be anywhere, but it can only be somewhere. So, where is it?
"C'mon, just give up, already! You've been looking for that thing for hours! You might as well be looking for Schrodinger's Cheshire Cat!"

"But it has to be here. I've already looked everywhere, and I haven't found it anywhere. Perhaps if I start looking nowhere, I may end up finding it somewhere!"

Actually its there but you can't see it unless you hit it with a light spectrum, but once you hit it, it will not be there anymore.
