Add this to everyone's list of daily worries. Will I get to work on time in this traffic? Will my name be on the lay-off list? Will the universe implode on me because of how I live my life?

With so many pseudo-scientists flailing about, the key question is NOT: "Why is everybody going crazy?"

The key question is: "Why is anybody still sane?"

In some ways, it is comforting to know the universe is facing imminent destruction. It takes the pressure off worrying about picking up milk and toilet paper on the way home from work.

I can’t believe that this claptrap was in a legitimate newspaper in the UK. Is this from the London Daily Telegraph?

Remember when you stop to get more toilet paper, that only one square per toilet visit is to be used according to the enviro wackos.

I think that the universe will only implode on conservatives. I think that liberals will be exempt from any of this because the universe knows they are so enlightened.

Time to start looking for an alternate universe.

Just come by the Undead Thread sometime.

The heights of arrogance and self-delusion that mankind can rise to in his absolute, unflinching, certainty of his own self-importance never ceases to amaze me.

As George Will once said, "the sun around which Earth orbits is one of perhaps 400 billion stars in the Milky Way, which is a piddling galaxy next door to nothing much. There are perhaps 40 billion galaxies in the still-unfolding universe".

We can't make an automobile or a plane that is guaranteed not to crash, or a house that is guaranteed not to go up in flames, or a medicine that is guaranteed to heal everyone and cause the death of no one, but we can change the climate and alter the universe? What kind of person is dumb enough to believe this garbage?

We are vapors; we are fragile, temporary residents of a place created by a Person who spoke this earth into existence and can speak it into oblivion. The narcissism is mind-boggling.

Next: “Universe huggers” will declare that we need to blind our children the moment they are born.

"Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger 1887 - 1961"

Now matter how you look at it, Schrödinger's cat is dead.

in the very beginning, there was a void that possessed energy but was devoid of substance. Then the void changed, converting energy into the hot matter of the big bang.

You know, I remember vaguely having read this same story of the beginning of the Universe somewhere else, only without the words "Big Bang" at the end.

the object can stop changing - just as a watched kettle never boils.

Whoever gave this author his science credentials should revoke them immediately, by violence if necessary. What a screeching, drooling moron. A watched pot will boil as much as an unwatched pot will boil.

Put a timer on the watched and unwatched pots, then watch one and not the other. Both will boil, but because you're watching the one, subjectively it seems like the pot takes forever. IT WILL HOWEVER, BOIL.

Yeah, yeah, I know my science is oldthink. Quantum physics is complicated enough, and mysterious enough, that it enables the bizarro world view of the morons of the left, who apparently still believe in magic - "If I watch something, it will change it". My favorite sports teams seem unaffected by this thinking, no matter how much I watch. Of course, if you subscribe to "my watching them destroys them", you may be onto something.

These people are frighteningly stupid.

First off, one guesses this scientist has dismissed a diety as a potential ‘observer’. ;-)

I’m guessing some other species made the same observation a week before we did - so we’re off the hook. lol

The damaging allegations are made by Profs Lawrence Krauss of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, and James Dent of Vanderbilt University, Nashville,...

Oh, so now even mere allegations are "damaging"... /grin

The "New Scientist" - where junk science meets remedial English.
