Did anyone watch horizon last night ?

Apparantly maths can prove an infinite number of universes
exist, in at least one of those universes my shlenk is 12
inches in length, hence I am happy.

Yeah, that was one mind fuck of a program...we're all
sitting on a membrane, one of many....and the explantion of
the Big Bang (and before...)..was supurb..(i.e. even I
understood it...)..

but Couldn't thinking they were making it up as they went
along tho in some bits...

And I had a good laugh at the sheer literal nature of some
of the scenes; like as soon as anyone mentioned String
Theory they'd show a picture of someone playing the cello or
violin...I mean, come on guys; use your imagination a
bit....

Used to love Horizon but seems to getting a bit too
"Discovery Channel" for my liking...

The program about the rift between the members of BUCKS FIZZ
afterwards was pure quality viewing tho... that & the Jon
Ronson film about Jonathan King have been my hightlights of
the week on TV....

Yeah, Horizon has been dumbed down the past few years. Still
a god watch though. I wish they'd put paper references/URLs
up in the credits so you could check out the authenticity of
some of its more radical claims.

the parallel universes don't get me surprised anymore: i
always think of that as sort of a comfort when i've haven't
done something i should have: i just think: well in this
cool universe i did everything perfect and i'm getting laid
now

I remember reading about the alternate universes a long time
ago......... but it wasnt like this

what then? i heard about this serie sliders from some nerdy
friend of mine, which should be about these people sliding
into these parallel universes, quite like quantum leap yes,
only without the past being mangled with, anyways: this
proves the existence of parallel universes

Now, it was about how our Universe is layered, and on a
certain angle some how, with enough speed and the right
angle timing you can punch through the time barrier.. or
rather universe barrier and arrive in the next alternate
universe.

Although the speed needed is {well speed speculated to be
needed} far beyond the speed of light.. so uh.........

i think that's going into warp, when you screw that up
strange things can happen indeed

Hmm... possibly it was a long time ago when I was into that
sort of stuff.

I suppose if we visualise our universe travelling through a
space with other bubble, the space being time itself (time
being non existence time is space / the nothingness between
the universes is the time. Or is the time the speed at which
the bubble is travelling through the nothing, so if we
travel faster than the speed of the bubble we will
eventually reach the edge of the bubble and pass into
another bubble. What happens if we land in a bubble that is
not travelling as fast as ours and we are travelling faster
than the speed of the light.

God may be standing in the middle of the dance floor at
gatecrasher night club blowing these little univereses from
the end of a bubble gun.

Theoretically it is possible to be your own dad:

1. Get egg and remove dna

2. use dna to make another egg start to produce

3. make sure second egg grows before first egg

4. whence fully developed you could be older than your dad
and also be the same person

Vicar - Do you wizards teeth, take wizards teeth to be your
lawfully wedded husband?

Wizards Teeth - I cannot vicar as I am also my father

Vicar - You may now kiss the bride

Wizards Teeth - I am unable to as these lips belong to
myself, my dad (who is also me), that bloke off the telly.

Vicar - Who pays the television liscence ?

Wizards Teeth - We don't have a tv as I (both of us) and my
mother who is also the same person do not have any eyes,
hence we do not require televisual stimulation. That is
another reason why I married myself who is infact my mother
an father, I did not realise I was in a empty large bathroom
when conversing. Little did I know but I was having a
conversation with my echo, and arranged to meet in the same
place a few times, then foolishly proposed.

I think

Yeah I watched Horizon last night. It made perfect sense
really. Time goes slowly in work and in hospitals but fast
when you wake up in the morning. Thank you Horizon. Ive
got the perfect excuse for being late "Im late because there
was a storm in the 11th dimension so time flowed faster than
I could compensate for" :)

I read a book on hyperspace theory. It was a really good
read and explained things very well.

I didnt see that one, but a mate told me that the found that
string theory was incorrect, meaning that another huge book
i read was for nothing. Good read though.

A bit off the point but...
I read this book last year called "The Age of Spiritual
Machines" Its about, well, life the universe and
everything. It was a real "yes, the house is burning but
Ive got to finish this chapter" sort of book. Even a numpty
like me could read it!

Yeah, it's good more people are being exposed to the ides of
infinity. What exactly was said about the big bang?
Imagine this: everytime you have an oragasm you are
reliving the creation of our universe. Creation of the
universe... creation of a new human life... It's all very
obvious. I think every emotion we go through is archetypal
and has happened on a larger scale at some point and that is
why these things are not unique to the person, but we share
similar experiences.

Darth...they af that HyperSpace guy on the prog..He's
semi-orinetal but can't recall this name...

But I've read that book and it's pretty cool....and from the
program last night it would appear that String Theory is far
from dead & is a major part of the new ones...

So not wasted....
