The Essence of ALL Philosphy and Metaphysics
Everything in the Universe is either an onion ring or not an onion ring.

Discuss.

How would you classify an anti-matter onion ring ?
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I would think you would italicize the or, not the not.

An antimatter onion ring is not an onion ring, because anti-protons are not protons.

The way I would say it aloud emphasizes the 'not', hence the italics.

Clearly it is an onion ring.  How could we observe the onion ring if it wasn't there?

When illuminated with ordinary light (in a vacuum) an anti-matter onion ring is visually indistinguishable from a matter onion ring.

If you can't see the difference, is there a difference ?

I've heard a lot of talk about onion rings but has anyone ever seen one?
All we know is that the universe is speeding up.
I don't think it's necessary to make up fancy food items to explain that effect.
