Seriously - what do you mean by 'they'?

What’s that got to do with mathematicians taking art courses?

The Big Bang Theory, S3, E14, The Einstein Approximation

Storyline

Sheldon can't sleep since he is totally preoccupied with solving a physics graphine problem. By association, Leonard and Penny can't sleep since Sheldon is continually bothering them. But Sheldon's sleep deprivation is making him more unusual than ever. He thinks he finally has the answer, not to the problem, but how to solve the problem. Much like Einstein did much of his best thinking when he worked in a patent office doing menial work, Sheldon believes he needs to get a menial job. A genius getting hired for a menial job is no easy feat, so Sheldon insinuates himself into a work situation of his own choice, much to the chagrin of one of his friends. ...

Hi,

A thing (including a human) is always in a space. A space is equivalent to (a set of) rules (of that space).
/having space means having rules; having rules means having space/

A set (of rules) is a thing. God is a thing.


So there are different "traditions" (believes/religions/philosophies/...):

- there are many gods (every god has its realm; god-devil dualism is here);

- god is just life (good) (the rules of life); the opposite is bad (death);

- there is one god (the creator or everything (good and bad, life and death));

- there is not god - there are rules (Spinoza's god!?).

- ...

This is not about god (-s), universe, existence, creation, life (and its purpose, meaning, ...), ...

... not about making science, academic career, ...

This is about thinking. If space and time were parts of the human mind (Kant), then, maybe, there would be other spaces.
