So Ohio State did win the national championship.

I always knew there was hope for Lexicdyses!!!




Ohio State DID win 41-14!!





I'm going back there now...I'm sure the Roe vs. Wade survivor will have lost that disgusting sweater.

But in all seriousness..this is great stuff.





Belongs in the Woods for enlightening discussion.

Somewhere Ohio is 8-0 vs. the SECOND!

But how does Stevie Hawking reconcile his past,present and future hanging around at the same time theory ......wth this parallel universe thing?




The thought gives me a headache.



I mean...what I did yesterday continues to happen along with now and what I'll do tomorrow.......but also it's all happening...but in an opposite way....somewhere else?




This could clear up the MannyFanny and New Jersey paradox.

Splendid performance.

I found it heartwarming, and at the same time elegant
in its simplicity. I must now move on to the bathroom.

I thought this topic was swell and that it would get a lot more play than it has.

I'm very surprised at you...Mr. Garden.......aren't there any theoretical bones in your body???


I find it fascinating.......but need the inspiration of others to play off.




I'm also surprised Dannie's Dangling Feet aren't in here.

Ok.
You asked for it,
you got it sister.

I believe human beings are extremely limited in
their ability to know. Our entire experience is severely
limited by our senses. We really were not meant to know
most of the things we do. Mere hunter-gatherers for
most of our life history pontificating on parallel universes?
I fart in our general direction.

So much of what we learn is by the use of symbolism with
a mixture of metaphor. Examples... its like a ball rolling down
a hill... Imagine a drop of water impacting a pool of still water and look
at the waves emerge... Its like a mouse trap that is half set...
and on and on with the metaphors.

Well most of what happens at lets say the atomic level, is
way beyond our experience and senses that entertain us
on the level of the large. Imagine a particle that exists at
two places at the same time... one particle.
Oh heck, thats just fine, I have constantly witnessed
that model.
NOT.

Or on the level of the vast. Imagine a place in the universe
that is the size of a pin-head but has the mass of 1 million
suns. Its so massive that it bends the space time around it.
Oh yes that is an easy one to imagine Dr. Hawking. And the
good Dr. responds but the math tells us its so. And it fits
some observations. So now we must have math to imagine
it. And jsut where did the math come from? Is the math flawed?
It certainly is. Just read Mr. Curt Godel.

So we have these humble little creatures called humans made
for roaming around grassland areas that are basically trying to
understand stuff we were never meant to understand from
an evolutionary point of view. We have done a damn good job
of predicting stuff that can shows itself to us rather blantantly
and fits nice math models. But when that breaks down we are
lost. Being a stubborn lot we do not care and forge ahead
constantly trying to understand more. The models change
with new information, but is it largely an exercise in futility.

And for that I am glad. Its always fun when there is another
mountain to climb. But the mountains that we have no way
of locating, we must ignore. And there are endless numbers
of mountains that we can see. So we plod along in a very
mortal way.

And I thank you.
