How Far Did The Ballon Go?
« on: September 18, 2011, 01:42:51 pm »
:dontknow: If your child had a ballon full in his hand and accidently let it go, then watched it until you could not see it anymore? You probably asked yourself, " I wonder how far did that ballown go before it popped? But you see, man's eyes can only see as far as he can see with his mind. It will always be a mystery to him and he will always be wondering if that ballon popped or did it reach the sun or the next planet.

Ohhhh balloon.. I could not figure out what you were talking about..

Well to be practical, wouldn't it only go up until the changing air pressure caused it to pop? The pressure of the helium inside compared to the outside forces would not let it go forever. But, I do like the thought of it going all the way to Heaven.
