"There\'s never any time!" - Jesse Spano

This reference makes me so excited... and so scared.

Classic.   I am so glad that someone caught on

I abide by the Tommy Westphall theory... now there\'s a reference for ya.

Did anybody really think this thread would be serious for more than a post or two?

Was expecting a theoretical physics discussion, but I\'m happy with where this thread is at.

You are right, Good Time Boys should play The Space with T Palms opening.
8 PM Start Time solo acoustic
915 GTB Start Time T Palms plays solo in between sets.

The Space always has earlier shows, I am not sure what the curfew is.

I enjoy the Theory of Relativity.  Which isn\'t really a theory since Einstein proved it to be true, but that\'s kinda the best part.  It\'s probably the most far-out shit that\'s ever been proven to be true.

God\'s Particle- Will they ever find it? Does it exist?

We Are The Particle And We Do Exist!:newbie:

i don\'t think lost is really \'what happened, happened\'. and i think fringe is hinting at what it will be closer to.

that said, i believe that in this universe, things are predetermined. in this reality, you are doing this set of things. however, with the advent and continual reinforcement of membrane theory, i believe that at this moment in time, we are all doing an infinite amount of differing things in various parallel universes.

for example, in this universe i chose to wear a blue shirt today. in another, perhaps it was red. in another, perhaps it was also blue, but a different shirt. but all of these decisions were made at the same time.

i also tend to think that certain dreams are actually a look into your other realities.

i wish i was in my alter universe where i decided to call into work today.... man i\'m hurt\'n

I think that time is a concept that for mellinia has been helpful to the human mind - providing order, cycliness, reassureance, etc - but I think that at this point it is getting a bit limiting.

I don\'t know much physics, so, whatever, but I think that, with time gone, you are left with objects made of matter exisiting in a void. Some of these objects seem to have some notion of themselves and each other, but no real clear notion of who or what they really are.

Therefore, I think that what we are experincing is something like a triangle trying to figure out a pryamid. Yes, we probably will be able to understand the structure and the existence of what we are, but I don\'t think that we, at this point, can understand what our existance is.

This understanding, of course, comes when our existancable material evolves/becomes/trancends into a "pyramid."

This understanding will also be fleeting as we will then stand to questions things that, as mere lines, we had no concept of.

So as for lost/fringe, I\'ve never seen either of those, but I do not believe in any sort of predistination. As for the "infinitely parralle" universe theory - a new universe is created for each disicion we make, yeah, I agree with that. However, since we can\'t, knowling at least, "jump" these universeses, I don\'t really see the point of that theory, cool though it maybe.

As Gourte said "Theory is great, but grass is green."

there are definitely patterns we all are a part of.  these patterns are showing exponentially accelerating change leading to creation of intelligence beyond our current understanding.  this creates the possibility of 3 distinct scenarios, all of which seem equally plausible to me.  the first is along the lines of the lost school of thought in which we\'re just going to be swept up by this accelerating change and evolve according to this logarithmic pattern.  the second basically involves these changes being too much for us to handle and thus leading to some catastrophic event that wipes humans off the planet.  the third, however, involves humans taking the reigns and being able to slow down or accelerate certain areas of progress, thus acting as conscious co-creators of our own evolution.

and if you\'re scratching your head about this exponentially accelerating change, just read some ray kurzweil.

That\'s all way to heavy and too much thinking...

I\'ll put it into my perspective....

- I need more time (ie. for fun, preparing babies room, etc...)
- I need more space (ie. i\'m losing my office to the babies room and it\'s all being crammed into the basement)

That being said, I\'d love it if I was living in "a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away"...

That\'s fine... I know the majority doesn\'t like my presence, but for those that feel thay, screw you, I\'m not going anywhere...
