I'm looking at dada but anyone else is fine too
I haven't yet watched enough Feynman videos on Youtube to hold an equivalent degree in particle physics.

ALMOST THERE THO

As long as something is written it exists, even if it does not exist outside of the fact that it has been written down. For example a 29 light year long penis now exists because i have written it. If you don't believe me, try printing this page out at the library of the juvenile detention center where you are currently being held, trim out all the extra words and leave only the following: "a 29 light year long penis".

I am eagerly interested in seeing how you could prove this does not exist when you are holding it in your hand.

Q.E.D.

i think it "exists" as a mathematical construct, as in the standard model needs it, and the current perception of physics is based on it.But yeah that is basically being constantly rewritten, and it's being contested by an increasing number of people, as like so many things have had to be added to make the standard model work to the point where it's at an absurd complexity. Michio Kaku(spelling????/) keeps on about how he wants to sum the universe up in one simple equation. He's a cool guy, i like him.

I have a neat interest in physics and like when my head goes into overdrive when trying to sleep, it's one of the things i keep thinking about, kinda how everything works. It's all full of neat things and reading about how they can weigh planets based on their vibrations and stuff is amazing. A lot of my music is based around abstract physics stuff, the music of the spheres is so amazing to listen to.

You know, someday I bet you're gonna try to run for government office, but your political opponents are gonna just unearth this post, and your constituency is gonna be like WTF? and vote for me instead.

Also, YOUR MOM was real.

Be wary of that statement. GW's collective imagination is a very scary thing to behold.
