Quote from: St HughThe game is up! Energy is matter, silly.
I've been reading a book on youthening recently and the author (Deepak Chopra) says almost exactly the same thing. Energy is matter and matter is energy. Hence, each of us is a vessel of energy, transformation and intelligence. I'm loving this book so far. The author also says:

"At the level of quantum reality, the universe is not made up of things. It is comprised of oscillating fields of energy. The quantum domain is spontaneous. It is inherently unpredictable, resisting all efforts to define it precisely. In the quantum domain, everything is interrelated. Any perturbation in the field influences everything else in the field.

The quantum realm has unlimited energy, unlimited unpredictability, and unlimited interconnectedness. Another way of saying this is that the quantum realm is enthusiastic, spontaneous, and fluid. These are the qualities of the cosmic mind that every moment gives rise to a fresh universe. These are the qualities of a youthful mind that every moment gives rise to a new body."

You just made Madeleine L'Engle cry.

I believe it was Orson Card who said "any sufficiently advanced science will be viewed as magic."


On a more nazi-ish side note, doesn't anyone write in E-Prime anymore?

It seems your Erisian coments tend to ossify when you use the Aristoitlean "is of identity".  Your apparently glorious ode to chaos, in my opinion, becomes as dogmatic as what you claim to oppose.

I guess you'll have to start calling me the E-Prime nazi.

Not Nurbldoff

Personally, I believe Arthur C Clarke said that.

And I agree, E-Prime seems like a good idea! Anyone else here who's read "Science and Sanity" by Korzybski?
Don't you have good garbage?

LMNO

Ah, yes, Clark.

::Bows to the biblophile::

I no longer believe it was Card who wrote that.
