"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing." If you don't know where it's from you're a philistine!
“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it." - Max Planck There's a solution of the equations of general relativity called the Aichelburg-Saxl solution, which describes massless black holes moving at the speed of light. There's no experimental evidence that these actually exist, but they're fun to think about nonetheless, since you can use the equations of general relativity to figure out what they would do if they did. – Dr. John Baez "'We are beginning to see how universes can be created,' Professor Harrison says [in an article in the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society and published in the London Times about June 1999]. 'A small amount of matter -- roughly 10 kg -- at very high energy is forged into a black hole. Under the correct conditions, the interior of the black hole inflates into a new universe that endures for billions of years and contains billions of galaxies.' " At most, he argues, human intelligence is only one million years old. 'If we can already see how in principle universes can be created, then surely our descendants in the far future will have the knowledge and technology to design and create them.'" In complex space-time, there exists a path of zero distance between any two points “Our universe is probably a black hole…it meets all of the [mathematical] criteria. If you want to know what it looks like inside of a black hole, just look around your room.” Dr. Michio Kaku
When a man falls from a boat into the sea you cry out; "man overboard!" but what do you say when a woman falls in? Paul Linde: "Full speed ahead!"
From my drill instructor in basic training: Incoming fire always has the right of way. Also, same source: After you pull the pin, Mr. Grenade is NOT your friend.
Reminds me of a joke: African chieftain visiting London spots a solid oak Elizabethan chair in Portabello Road market, much like this one . . . and to himself he says, 'Ah, I think I'll buy that, because I could put it in front of my hut and impress all the villagers.' So saying, he did exactly that - he bought it, and a few weeks later, having been transported over land and sea to Darkest Africa, it worked out just as he thought, and the villagers were indeed impressed. Anyhoo, come the rainy season, he decided to keep it inside his hut for the duration, but the hut being quite small, by means of some jungle vines he hoisted it up to the ceiling above his bed. So to cut a long and extremely boring story short, the vines dried out and became brittle, until one night they snapped, and the chair fell on him as he slept, killing him stone dead, so the villagers had to elect a new chieftain. Oi, who said 'Alright, alright - get on with it!'? Where was I? Ah yes, I remember . . . so there's a moral to this sad tale of self-aggrandisement and foolhardy decision-making, and the moral is this - that people who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones.
