    I saw a special on NOVA the other day talking about einstien's theory of relativity and the theory of unification and it totally blew my mind.

    It was going on about black holes being portals to other universes and that they are just like our universe was when it first began all dense until it expanded enough to support life as we know it.

    It led me to really think about time and how it really is just another dimension just like depth and width and nothing more. How many more dimensions are there really? I have heard of 4th dimensional drawings but what is it really and is understandable? Are out of body experiences small peeks into what really lies in front of us but can't see. Science really blows my mind when it agrees with the experiences i have had on the supernatural.

    Just wondering if anyone else has felt like life is so much more than what it appears to be and about the universe as a living being.

    No one really knows what's on the other side of a black hole. Inside a black hole (at the center) everything compresses into a point. There are guesses about what's on the other side, but no one knows for sure.


    Yes, it is very cool. My dad is an astronomical physicist (and a genius) so I get to have long discussions with him over things like this.

    i just can't tell where i've heard this, but i heard that the latest theory in physics, known as the string or chords theory, came up to proove the existance of 11 dimentions. they've used proofs of light difraction on blackholes to proove that. don't ask me how.

    Every time i started to talk about that, we ended up nowhere. So this time i'll just let it go away.

    I can't remember the actual title but it was something like the long lost unification theory or something like that.

    the universe is certainly worth contemplating but i'm more concerned with the simple questions of existence. do we really die? and if we don't why hasn't someone from the other side broken through yet? is john edward a fraud? and if he is who has the ability to expose him? stars on a summer night fascinate but back in my room a much smaller world intrudes and i wonder if i ever will really know it at all.

    I remember watching Cosmos by Carl Sagan when I was a kid. The episode about relativity completely consumed my thoughts for weeks. I was like ten years old drawing pictures of my conception of the universe.

    And you know, that same sort of mystery and awe can be found all around us right here on this planet, too. One of my big missions in life is to never take for granted what in incredible trip this life is.

    i don't know much about john edwards but i think we all die, its been proven by millions, just what the hell is on the other side i dont think anyone knows. i do believe in parallel universes being available to us now, we just have to know how to peek into them. sometimes i think we are all just in a short phase of existance called life that we are blind in. when we die we get to evolve into the next phase. i have no proof of course but it makes more sense than what religion has taught me so far.

    P. S. I'm sure john edwards has never sucked cock for some coke unlike our current prez so he is cool with me.
