Right, and that's how you eliminate the singularities and preserve information. Of course, it may just be that God does play dice with the universe.

Dude... multiple universes, brane theory, the Higgs bosun... sometimes it's a wonder I manage to get any work done at all.

How do we know CERN didn't end a universe? Maybe not just ours...
Still struggle with the anthropic principles- why is the universe the way it is? Because we'd look pretty silly if it weren't. He devotes a whole chapter to the issue, and I don't see the point. Either it's teh way it is because we're here, or we're here because it's the way it is. Either way, we're here, adnd that's the way it is.
/one more participant in this, and the thread is officially jacked.

A few books right now. David Eller's latest for my philosophical readings, halfway through David Eddings Belgariad for fiction, and First, Break All the Rules for business reading. All at the same time, of course 
Not that I enjoy reading or anything. :lol:

Good. A little slow at the start. Only a 1/3 of the way in so far.

I just started the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I think it takes less time to read them than it does to watch the movies.
Especially if you skip all of teh Hobbit songs. Man, those get tedious.

And they did translate well into movies. Unlike the Chronicles of Narnia, which is a series I want to re-read. The movies, though, have been horrendous. Truly awful. I mean, bad.

I wasn't impressed with Chronicles of Narnia book>movie either. Then again, reading Chronicles of Narnia as an adult, it seemed like propaganda to me.

Well, Lewis was a Papist, you know.

And it comes through clearly! It's like reading the Mormon touch to the Twilight series (which I highly recommend that NO ONE EVER READ! Awful!).

Oh, my additions. Have to read Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov over Thanksgiving break.

I have 3 or 4 on my list.
Fahrenheit 451 - the lady gave it to me for my birthday and I have just started it.
The new Dan Brown
The new Jon Krakauer "Where Men Win Glory" - His other books have been great. Into Thin Air was an awesome read but Into the Wild and Under the Banner of Heaven even more so. I get the whole debate about "Into Thin Air" not being a true depiction of mountaineering or the tragic climb up Everest that he was a part of.
