It's still early, and I haven't eaten my morning acid...

I'll have to get back to ya on this :)...

This comment is like light itself; two things at the same time, a wave and a particle. Or like ****, both a noun and a verb, depending.

The comment is both interesting and irrelevant. If my actions have some unknown effect on the universe (which is clearly does) so do everything else's actions have some unknown effect on the universe. The result is chaos over which there is no control.

So yes, my action alters reality. An astounding revelation most of us usually discover well before age two.

But would you be aware of a reset?

Could this guys brain exist in a program only?

We see the photon traveling in a straight line (well, sort of), but the photon thinks it's everywhere at once.

So I guess time really is just a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff, as The Doctor states.

Mr Roddenberry postulated that in order to be everywhere at the same time one must exceed Warp 10. Clearly Lorentz was a man of his time and not entirely correct.

Was that supposed to be in green font? Roddenberry was a better physicist than Lorentz? The Enterprise had a warp drive, which means it warped space to span distances faster, due to the shorter distance. Of course, simply traveling really fast contracts, or warps, space. So a warp drive isn't necessary. And if it is, if you travel at Warp 1, that's like going at the speed of light and that's as fast as you need to go.

Another thought. If all photons are everywhere at once, how can darkness exist? Because from our reference frame in a dark room, photons are not everywhere at once. We know that because it's dark.

I thought The Amazing World of Gravity was very good. I got it on Amazon.

I am in a large bottle with Barbara Eden clones who each smell very nice.

light, dark - both temporary...dance of the WuLi masters...

You fail to use green again... I kill you.

The reality is, you have your reality and I have my reality.
