Tee-hee!

I thought you were supposed to be able to prove something before theorizing it but I guess Al Gore got us off to a great start on this sort of thinking.
Btw, while quantum entanglement might be mathematically possible it’s a far stretch from being possible in the realm of physics unless they invent (or prove, depends on the mood they’re in) a whole new level of quantum mechanics to back it up.
I’ve heard of most of those before and some of them tend to be fairly interesting things to read about.
To sum up the last one though, the Guide has this to say about space:
“Space is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind bogglingly big it is. And so on.”
Sums it up nicely I think.

Yeah. I feel so insignificant now. Even moreso than before.Think it’s bad now, wait until you find out what happens when all the suns burn out and there’s nothing left but black holes. Yeah, in 10 trillion years you’d be a dead man for sure…
I didnt really have time to comment before but I’m a fan of the theory of multiple worlds existing parallel to one another, each containing a different outcome from what exists on your current world.
Whether or not it is possible the idea that everything I choose not to do may be playing out in parallel earths is kind of exciting.
Plus, there’s the whole idea that there may have once been a time when there was a sort of nothing and that one day the world will condense back down into a single object surrounded a vast nothing. Even if it’s not possible thinking about seeing such a vast space of nothing blows my mind. Mainly because its really not perceivable in any way and my mind runs crazy trying to comprehend it.
Brilliant article, Major!
I love getting my brain going on all this crazy stuff.Quote:

(Also, STRING THEORY! Gimme some a dat Quantum Leap)
