Happy birthday to LSJ

Is he getting incrementally older? Correct. -John Flournoy.

I have to imagine his aging is continuous, like everyone and everything else in existence. Fred (bracing for somebody to start a lecture on relativity theory...)

Happy uteral ejection day, Scott! (and Hunter!) - Ben Peal

[ quoted text not captured ] I think that would be quantum theory lectures, not relativity. Even in relativity, time is continuous. In quantum, though, perhaps a little more granular.

Happy warm-blooded, kill-my-own-germs, digest-my-own-food, breathe-my-own-air, beat-my-heart-without-a-freaking-hole-in-it day, LSJ!

LSJ <vte...@white-wolf.com> writes: [ quoted text not captured ] I really, really, really would like to recommend David Deutsch's book "The Fabric of Reality". A book mostly about the "many worlds" interpretation of quantum mechanics, written so well that a reasonably intelligent and civilized person can understand it without a background in modern physics. Seriously, it's mind blowing stuff. One of the chapters has an end summary: "Summary: Time does not flow. Other times are just a special case of other universes." HG P.S. And it's available in Finnish as well. :-) [ quoted text not captured ]
