The current issue of Scientific American has an interesting article on a hypothesized new type of matter called spacetime atoms that supposedly explain quantum mechanics, the big band and the origins of the universe.

Really interesting article!

Heh heh heh, I accidentally typed “Big band” ‘stead’a’ “big BANG”!

Although Glen Miller and the Dorsey brothers’ big bands were almost good enough to create new worlds!

Oh right, it’s not the rest of the universe it’s just us. Sure. It’s all our fault, we’re the weird ones, everyone else is normal. Thanks a lot.

So you've been 'visited' too. Glad I'm not the only one.

Earth may be trapped in an abnormal bubble of space-time that is particularly void of matter.

And common sense which is why 0bama is a candidate for president.

Pinto: That means that...

our whole solar system...

could be, like...

Professor Jennings: one tiny atom in the fingernail
of some other giant being.

Pinto: This is too much!

That means...

-one tiny atom in my fingernail could be—
-Could be one little...

Professor Jennings: tiny universe.

Pinto: Can I buy some pot from you?

Couldn't imagine.

BTW - From your page, I'd say you are a good photographer.
