Hello all - welcome to the place where i keep my mental-drawls and echoing halls of free-falling brain-balls (yes, it's my own little ego-page with pretentious-sage trappings ).

Thought i'd celebrate my 1002nd post by, erm, being late for my 1000th-post-celebratory-jiggle. So, if you can wiggle between the obscene dreams and consciousness streams (that are all in need of a clean) you're most welcome to pow-wow here by the cow-shower and the old cherub-endower. (please don't glower - the relentless rhyme is my most innocent crime - tho it makes my bean-counter run off and cower for ages at a time)

Right! Sense! Non! Left by the wire-fence is the secret recipe for understanding my baobob tree desirous of infinity. Dip in, have a swim, and i hope you'll see....

This thread hopefully won't be just about me. Coz i want your thoughts on the on-marching cohorts of the diffuse and the singular - those real brain-tinglers - the things that make one plus one equal three (well, 2.1 actually, is the most recent mind-spree, but it don't rhyme easily).

I thought i'd post some random things i find interesting on this thread. Let's start with today's announcement in a murky Murdoch paper.

-Put in marvellously graphic reality for my mono-browed cousins and me, this is what they said:

"The Universe is shaped like a football" (Metro - a free london newspaper) [i.e. it's more or less spherical my dear holistic housemates from across the sea. A soccer-ball-shape, if you must - or "a solid composed of 12 pentagons, a dodecahedron" to be precise]

Dr Jeffrey Weeks and team have apparently claimed the universe is spherical-ish, not infinite. (although were you to reach one extremity you'd suddenly find yourself "coming back in through the other face". This is what gives "the illusion of the universe endlessly repeating itself".) They used data from a probe that mapped radiation left over from the start of time to reach this conclusion. Dontcha just love 'em

Tho dammit - this means i struggled with the idea of infinity when a young'un, finding myself visualising the world repeatedly shrinking, and then falling off my stool in a final semi-blacking-out moment, all for nothing. I wonder if some of our abstract scientific tendancies are encouraged by "thought experiments" like this - i.e. purely abstract ones that are entirely counter-intuitive.

Anyway, must toddle off now. The next posts will be ten lines at most - and that's a promise (and for me, something of a boast )

Have fun with the mind-ball now y'all. (Are we just a molecule in a cup-of-tea squall??)
