Love it when it snows

Entropy is not the only factor... Life does not reduce itself to entropy...

The universe is not chaos, beside chaos exist another kind of law : BIOS...

In the universe the high scale structures are cellular and not chaotic...
Chaos is one face of something more profound...


In early post I cite William James Sidis articles, but this genius wrote a book I read, and in it at 20 years old, he predict black hole and the cellular structure of the universe ( dark matter and ordinary matter like on a chessboard the black and white) in 1920...He predict the existence of organic non living matter in the universe for example... He wrote this book when he was 16 years old and published it at 20...It is something to read...:)

For the anecdote this is the greatest I.Q. ever measured, (he outweigh simply the scale) and he speak almost all known languages including most indian languages of the Americas, invent an artificial language at 12 years old (vandergod) and speak before a crowd of mathematicians (Buckminster Fuller was there by the way and Norbert Wiener) at Havard at age 12 about the 4th dimension and the way to project it in 3 d spaces accurately... ( the text of the conference is at Harvard)

His bio read like science fiction and all that is reality...:)

His goal in life was meditating and being unknown...(a task easy for most especially difficult for him if ever even possible)

His life is forgotten now because too much incredible to be trusted true by those who had not known him...

His genius is so great that the comparison with other child prodigies like Wiener and Von Neumann kept the stakes on his side... He learn greek alone at 4 years old after Latin and french and some others … I know what some will think but it is true... :)


His father, almost a retard because he speak only 27 languages, cannot teach him at 8 years old anymore :)...the father obtain medicine diploma at a speed that is a rare feat, wrote 17 books on psychiatry, field in which he was one of the most important pioneer scientist in the end of the 19 century... His best friend was William James the philosopher and psychologist...He named his son after him....

Chiming in, thanks for the Cash, maps....*S*  We've all went through the eye of that needle in our various ways....

MC, absolutely...the Sun will go *foom* eventually, and I suspect long before then, we will have as well.  However....there doesn't seem a real need to rush that scenario in the short term, right?  Or, one would hope...

Fascinating possibility of getting to see Betelgeuse 'go nova' perhaps in our current era...'course, it may have already but the 'light show' hasn't reached our neighborhood yet... Maybe we'll all become zombie's, due to some 'effects' we've no knowledge of.  Maybe we'll all have all the brains we've lacked all this time...;)

We certainly don't appear to have enough now....despite the greater majority of our best 'brains' pointing out that the greatest amount of information and details are indicating that We, the People...all of us, not just here in the (vaguely) United States (of divisions)....have fouled our nest enough to potentially make it break.

"Yeah, we got dogs 'n Valvoline, it's a pretty damn good time...."

And Plan B begins to look like ethical suicide on a large scale.

Well, meanwhile....Happy Friday, y'all. :)  

Irony is best yielded like a knife of ice.

I'm off to dinner...Brains?

As long as they're not yours....;)

asvjerry… Thanks... I think your posts are not replaceable and make smile and think at the same times, a feat which I was never able to accomplish myself.... :)
