News:

Several times a month, I will be in a store aisle reaching for something and feel a hand going up the inside of my thigh. When I turn around to find myself alone with a woman, and ask her if she would prefer me to hold still so she can get a better feel for the situation, oftentimes she will act "shocked" claiming nothing had happened, it must be somebody else...

You know, I wondered about that .. is he the same guy that thought up the pentagonal tiling of the plane? (that's some latent discordianism at least :) )

Yeah that's him. It was the only way of tiling the plane that has fivefold rotational symmetry that he found. Also did some very early work on black holes with Stephen Hawking and conjectured the Cosmic Censorship Hypothesis.

Pretty cool guy, eh invents twistor theory and doesn't afraid of anything.
Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.

Okay, so minor threadjack time: given that some people in here appears to know something about quantum mechanics... I have been reading the book "The Dancing Wu-Li masters". It appears to be about the history of quantum mechanics and relativistic physics. Can anyone here tell me whether or not it is more or less accurate? There were supposed to be HEP people reading it and making footnotes, but the book was written in the seventies and also I would prefer to have a second opinion outside the text itself.

HAHAHAHAHA!

It's absolute shit.   I bounced a copy off the wall back in the 80s.  It's pseudo-physics all globbed up with Eastern bullshit hippy religion.

I thought that was The Tao of Physics (which I also own)...

Same crap.  From 1972-1980 or so, it became very fashionable to put Eastern garbage into physics, because to an idiot, they look similar.

Yeah, it's basically using metaphors to make metaphors out of metaphors.

So it is a meta-pataphor?

Though, I am not against reading meta-pataphors, I would question their capacity for any form of accuracy as first-order metaphors. As far as I've read, the guy hasn't mentioned eastern philosophy except to say that he won't mention it, but I'm only on the second or third chapter.

I'd like to see a ban on philosophizing about quantum until we figure out what the fuck is going on down there.  Among other things, we still don't know how gravity works.

A ban on philosophizing?  Okay.  We should also ban religions until we know for sure what any possible afterlife is like.  And the trains will all run on time.

I suggest a pentition to ban history until we can invent a time machine and figure out what really happened back then. Or,  :?
