Teach The Controversy
Karen Palmer, parkour student
I would really love to be in shape to do parkour. I’d probably have to drop another 50-75 pounds and really work out to do it, though.
4-dimensional manifolds and n-dimensional objects
Re: that last piece of rambling…I did some research this afternoon. To rephrase my earlier statements: my conjecture is that the universe is a four-dimensional manifold that has Euclidean neighborhoods, but which itself exists inside of a non-Euclidean n-dimensional set (n being an unknown number higher than four). Quanta are n-dimensional objects that pass through […]
Random Thought Of The Day
Quantum entanglement: it occurred to me today that the only ways quantum entanglement works is if a) space-time is a four-dimensional object that is folded around itself in n-dimensional space (n being a number higher than four), and what appear to be two entangled quanta are not actually four-dimensional particles but a single y-dimensional (y […]
Words Fail Me
If you need an explanation of what might not be quite historically accurate about this, well…I’ll let Bill explain it: [Update: Apparently, this is a trend!]
Science!
I’m pretty much finished with the ironic t-shirts. But this is different. If you love me, buy me this t-shirt:

One of the checkboxes is “Replaced flux capacitor”. That cracks me the fuck up. But it doesn’t make it any […]
