Why don't I have that option in my profile?

Recently there was a conference on multiple universes, or multiverses....

Many scientists look down on philosophy as mere question-posing and guesswork. But philosophy seems impossible to avoid when discussing certain problems in physics, especially those dealing with fundamental aspects of reality, such as cosmology and particle physics. In his entertaining talk, Davies referred to the old Hindu story of the Earth resting on the backs of four elephants, which in turn stand on a giant turtle. One is then faced with the question of what the turtle stands on. Perhaps there is some kind of ultimate explanation down below, a Prime Cause – some kind of “super-turtle” that brings the chain of explanation to an end.

For many physicists, Davies said, the laws of physics themselves have served as such an explanation. But this view becomes problematic if the laws themselves change over time, or vary from region to region. Alternatively, there may simply be no ultimate explanation, he suggested, in which case one must accept an infinite regression of causes — "turtles all the way down.”

I dunno - I've held the "turtles all the way down" view for so long, the "super-turtle" theory just blows my little mind....

Couldn't there be some [beat] awkward [beat] consequences in wrestling. Or maybe this is a non-computer case of "that's not a bug, its a feature".

Some of the entertainment I've bought considers it not just a feature, but the main selling point.

Shir, so glad you are OK.

Glad you're OK, Shir.

Rick Sanchez just quoted my tweet on the air on CNN. Nothing stranger than hearing "Cashmere says" on teevee.

That's awesome, and I don't even know who Rick Sanchez is!

Imagine the road rash potential!

I thought it was stupid enough on (I can't believe I'm admitting to watching this) I Love Money when they were horseback riding in bathing suits....

So, I went to a panel thing this afternoon, and afterward was already hungry for dinner, and realized I was right by the Shake Shack, which I hadn't been to all summer! So I went over there and there was NO line. Sweet! By the time I was leaving at 6:30, there was a medium line, so I must have just beat the rush. Sweet. Now I can make that chili.

Anybody have a link to Christina Hendricks at the Emmys? My Google-fu is weak today.

Here you go, GC.

She looked scorching like damn and whoa.

I dunno - I've held the "turtles all the way down" view for so long, the "super-turtle" theory just blows my little mind....

Nah, just consider it the Gamera philosophical solution, that the four vertigo resistant elephants stand on the back of Gamera, spinning through the universe, heeding the call of small children to defend the Earth on it's own back...

I'm going to have to turn in my female card. All the Emmy dresses that are being touted as wonderful I think are unfortunate, whereas I looked at the fashion faux pas and liked most of them.

I dunno, connie—did you see Alyssa Milano?

One site accused her of raiding Bjork's closet
