Some bats really shouldn't talk about things they don't understand, but hey its my journal and I can blurb on about batbrain stuff if i want to ( Read more... )

Cor. That's so cool, I think I'll link to it if you don't mind. ~smiles~

Sure feel free. (whatever linking does) it's intentionally a public post.

I kinda find it somehow a touch reasurring thinking outside the box and looking at the big picture sometimes.
We're all so special and yet so insignificant, but each of us is mindbogglingly unique.

When you look at the universe in such ways science and magic seem to shake hands and then cuddle.

well it does seem that way to me.

Although it does bring a tear to my eye when I feel a bit alone in such a big place.

And it keeps batbrain(tm) off my back for awhile ;)

I've had a theory, since about seventh grade. The shape of the universe is a figure-8. Not a simple figure eight, but one that you have to pull at the ends, like a bow. Two teardrops connected by a single point. Only now take that shape and spin it on the long axis, like a propeller.

Funny thing is, I found out many years later, in college, that this is a shape that's found in physics. Specifically subatomics- electron 'orbits' are actually these twin-teardrop shapes, and at least one orbit is the spinning propeller version.

Now, it seems like everything follows patterns. That what you find on a small level ends up being essentially reproduced on a larger one. Some things might be tweaked, but in the end it's got the same framework. Now mind you this isn't something I've gone looking for, so it could easily break down, but...

Something to think about ne?

The Ouroboros shape has appeared all through human mythology,(just do an image search on yahoo) and is also seen within electron movement when two particles colide and merge to make heavier particles or destroy eachother releasing energy and more exotic smaller particles as I understand it ( ... )

I think I'd like to link, too, so that my other friends can explain it to me...or explain why it isn't. Or something.

*panther brains may well be smaller than bat brains*

LOL, sure, but I'm just babbling really about stuff I only know a tiny bit about to keep my brain full.
I'm not a physics graduate or a mathematics wizz.
I just kinda (as I said above) like pondering my place in the universe. And keeping my brain away from me by confusing it.

(hey it's a goth thing!)

fanks for that - wow... I've never had any problem with time... not being linear or wahtever - time changes as we get older.. it goes faster...lol

anyway- soon be time to go home from work

I agree, as i've matured (although some would beg to differ) time does indeed speed up unless it's 30 mins before the end of a working day, where time then becomes an abstract concept in that time slows down and the clocks move alot slower in direct proportion to ones desire to get down the pub.

Let me throw a Spaniel in the works....

What if the four dimensions we observe (plus whatever others there are) are actually all one without a beginning or an end, which folds over itself?

Snip --There's all sorts of ideas on what the basic shape of the universe is as I understand it, everything from a flat sheet, cylinder, cone baloon, sphere exist. I think it all depends on what element of Physics you use to try and describe the shape ( ... )
