'Heart Of Gold'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Timelies all!
Argh, physics and philosophy. My head hurts.
New home update: We have a dryer! The box spring is still in the dining room(we haven't figured out if there is any way to get it up the stairs), we still have no phone service(Verizon says Thursday, but I'll believe it when I hear it) and the cable guy is coming over tonight to look at our weird system.
Oh, yeah, because most things in the world look so much more fun and interesting than grading, when actually grading. Whining, for example, like I do right now.
You should just get all your students in an empty room. Then tell them, "Pretend you're all electrons. Now move about the room consistent with the laws of quantum mechanics."
Although actually doing that would probably be impossible....

But it would be fun to watch them try.

For a start, they'll have to be so identicle, they'll be actually switchable (is that a word?) and nobody will be able to tell either of them apart. That's already hard.
[Edit: I've watched "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" last night. Now I imagine the electrons as Oompa-Loompas. Who knew electrons sing?]
That's my best guess at why the universe is full of shit we can't use.
My best guess is that not only is it probably not about me, it's not about us. There's too much out there for me to feel that I'm important to anyone but myself, and just marginally relevant to some of the people I've interacted with so far.
ita, you are TOTALLY marginally relevant to me. I mean that from the heart.
You're the sweetest, Robin.
Somehow, the question of the relevance if mist of the universe to us (or the other way around) has reminded me of something one of the actors on 6FU said about how the show is now out there, lightyears away. Is that true if it was only ever on cable?
I don't think so...or at least comedy writers haven't made it seem that way. And they know everything.
Is that true if it was only ever on cable?
But cable is still distributed by satelite, so the transmissions to the satelite(s) are still out in space, waiting to confuse aliens.
