Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What happened before the Big Bang? String theory might have the answer....

Cosmologists Paul Steinhardt and Neil Turok have a radical idea that could wipe away these mysteries. They theorize that the cosmos was never compacted into a single point and did not spring forth in a violent instant. Instead, the universe as we know it is a small cross section of a much grander universe whose true magnitude is hidden in dimensions we cannot perceive. What we think of as the Big Bang, they contend, was the result of a collision between our three-dimensional world and another three-dimensional world less than the width of a proton away from ours—right next to us, and yet displaced in a way that renders it invisible. Moreover, they say the Big Bang is just the latest in a cycle of cosmic collisions stretching infinitely into the past and into the future. Each collision creates the universe anew. The 13.7-billion-year history of our cosmos is just a moment in this endless expanse of time.

Fun....

I am eagerly awaiting the day when Eve loses her first tooth (yes, I know she's only 3) so I can use dollar coins under her pillow from the Tooth Fairy. (I'm planning in advance! It may take me 3 years to acquire a Susan B. or Sacajawea!)

sj, that's weird. I sent to gmail addy.

That's the one I am obsessively checking. I am getting the rest of my mail.

I'm getting the pig!

Sail, I'm not sure. I was just going from memory on the others. I only have it filled out most of the way on my home computer. If you don't have it by the time I get home, though, I'd be glad to tell you then.

sj, I tried once more by copy/pasting into a new email.

Good memory, Nicole. I had to start over this morning at work. Heh, it took me a while and there lots I'd forgotten, but I think I'm caught up and a little ahead now.
