  • Quantum God?

    Quantum theory states that a particle can exist in one location in space and another, but not in between... Where does this matter go between locations?

    The Heisenberg Uncertainty principal more or less states that you can USUALLY locate a particle in space, but there is no guarantee that it will be there.

    String threory points to as many as 18 different dimensions...

    In sub-atomic physics, you can impart motion on a particle based on the potential of your interacting with it...

    This points to the possiblity that every decision we make - no matter how small, creates a different reality, so that there are litterally billions of alternate realities surrounding our existance. Our conscious mind chooses which of these time/space realities we should follow. Perhaps all of us live long and healthy lives, but along different reality paths.

    Are we really a three dimensional space/time meat vehicle for a multidimensional being???

  • Salmon and Swordfish?

    It really irks me when I'm at a restaurant and the waiter asks if I'd like the "SaLmon" (pronouncing the L). It doubley irks me when they offer the "sWordfish" (pronouncing the L). I'm even more annoyed at the incorrect pronunciation of "herb" as "'erb" (see different question).... So I guess if a waiter asked me if I would like to have either the " 'erb crusted saLmon or the grilled sWordfish", I might just blow a head gasket...

    I'm I the only one who's annoyed at this?

  • Herbs or 'erbs?

    Is it just me? I'm continually annoyed by the persistance of people to pronounce "Herb" as "'erb" like they are some kind of French snob.

    "Herb" is an English word... not a French word... So where did this Frenchified pronunciation come from?

    I'm thinking it came from the early days of TV with Julia Childs when she became famous for saying " 'ERbs and Spices!" in a snobbish immitated French accent.

    As this was America's first exposure to fancy cooking, it's how the pronunciation became accepted.

    Is anyone else annoyed by this?

    Does anyone have any facts on how this pronunciation got started?
