Hello, it’s Wolfgang von Greenygrey here. I was feeling down recently, with things not going well in the Greenygrey world, but then I read Marc Latham’s ant theory article on Existential, and it gave me renewed hope that the Grand Council can be controlled, because it made me believe that they may not be the architects of reality after all.
Hi, it’s GG again from the Celebrity Big Brother Alpha Werewolf house/den. There’s a lot of fun and games going on here, with Big Brother Alpha Werewolf firing silver bullets above our heads all the time; and Stephen BaldWolf is still howling on about werewolf creation, but I’m still glad I agreed to enter the house.
Celebrity Big Brother Alpha Werewolf Soulmate: TedWolf
I got talking to TedWolf, who’s pretty interesting and cool. I’ve never met anyone else like it, and I don’t think there’s anybody that scientific in the human version of Celebrity Big Brother.
It told me about a video that sounds kind of like Marc Latham’s Ant Theory, but about mushrooms, and in a much more scientific way (I’m tempted to say intelligent, but don’t want to upset my partner!). I can’t watch it, ‘cos I’m in here, but apparently it’s available to watch at: Ted TV. Or try Brave New Traveler.
I hope TedWolf isn’t telling me a load of pork pies, like I think Stephen BaldWolf often is!
On Tuesday night the BBC’s Horizon provided the latest research on Black Holes, and how they are thought to provide possible answers to the start of the universe. This blog discusses what we can extrapolate from this programme.
Einstein’s Work Questioned
The programme showed how Black Hole researchers think that the discovery of Black Holes in space call into question Einstein’s theory of relativity, which has been the accepted theory for a century.
At the moment there is a void within Black Holes knowledge that scientists cannot work out; although they have been theorised about for a long time, evidence of them is still very recent.
Theory breaks down somewhere between Einstein’s theory of relativity and the quantum mechanics used to study atoms: this place beyond current human knowledge is known as singularity (thoughts turn to Folding Mirrors!)
Socrates Still Top Dog Philosopher
2500 years after Socrates declared that the wisest are those who admit they know very little the programme ended with the admission that people don’t know what’s out there, they may give you an answer but they’d probably be wrong.
This admission showed wisdom and courage. For scientists to admit they don’t know, and to have overturned the accepted knowledge to study something so elusive and miniscule in the big scheme of things is brilliant.
Does God Live in Black Holes?
Of course, scientists admitting they don’t know everything about time and space leaves the door open for God. Maybe the monotheistic God is living beyond our knowledge in Black Holes? But no religious documents mention Black Holes as far as I know.
As Galileo provided the correct Earth/Sun relationship, it is scientists and astronomers rather than the dominant monotheist religions that are informing us about our universe.
In five or fifty years we will probably know more about Black Holes and our universe, and the dominant monotheistic religions will again have to adopt their thinking to the evolution of science.
Whos_Afraid_of_a_Big_Black_Hole/ is available to watch until November 28, 2009.
Please forget the last blog. I just searched on embrangled and found quite a lot of evidence of it being around for a while. Not only that, but evidence suggests brangle has been around for a while too.
I was sure I’d searched brangle last year. Oh well, c’est la vie, no new words for me! (is that a new poem?)
Sometimes I wonder whether I am really a self-proclaimed genius!!
