Thanks! That's great!

The simplest off-the-shelf cosmological models include the Big Bang singularity as a past boundary condition; in other words, there is no prior time or space, and one must think of spacetime coming into existence at the Big Bang.

'tis a wacky place. I haven't been in a while but I always liked the Giant Chess Set on the village green - and the beautiful countryside nearby.

My flatmate and I watched every episode Days of our Lives for a few months (what can I say, we'd both ended up unemployed at the same time, and it was on after the same time as Jerry Springer). By good fortune it was the demonic possession storyline. I had no idea the show went places like that, and we thought it was…

Will Smith is not an actor whose roles I enjoy, but I liked the movie enough despite that - it was mostly mediocre, but not offensively bad.

Count me as another one it never occurred to.

Yeah, I doubt it was ever considered seriously, but it's one of those cute ideas (like Wheeler-Feynmann absorber theory). The real answer to why electrons are all the same is far more elegant - QED is a relativistic quantum field theory, and electrons are field quanta. In other words, electrons are excitations of the…

Jupiter is composed of liquid metallic hydrogen out to ~80% of its radius, with much of the molecular hydrogen above that being in a supercritical state.

Turning stuff into antimatter would be a great trick.

I'd be first against the wall in the Imperial purges.

Vacuum diagrams like that fit in quite happily (far more happily than extending the idea to the whole universe being built out of one recycled electron).

Hmmm.....
