[Case] Yeah, but once you get over the sheer horror; it's pretty cool, really.
[Ronj You said it! I was thinking of the Hawkings Idea you mentioned before, of the bubbles in Beer and the idea of an eternal "pachinco" effect...as you say I'm both awe struck and Horrorfied...time to buy some beer and do alittle study..thanks for indulging my curiosity [Case] All fields of human endeavor have great expanses of established "facts" and at their edges, the undiscovered territory. In high school and intro courses we learn what as been established. In advanced studies we travel into the undiscovered country. One of the problems of looking directly into the undiscovered country and speculating on things like quantum mechanics or multiworlds of fizzy universes is that these are topics ripe for speculation and they are pretty far off the beaten path. One of the things that attracts me to the whole idea of uncertainty, chaos and complexity is that they are not that far into the undiscovered country and all of us already have a rich vocabulary and experience to apply to them. We have whole industries devoted to chance, from gambling to the stock market. Look at the number of terms and clichés that treat these matters; tough luck, good luck, take your chances, those are the breaks. Stories and songs celebrate the joys and sorrows of twists of fate.

When to walk away and when to run Never count your money When you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for counting When the dealin's done moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
