Hey, think about it...

Mudcat goes down for what??? Couple of hours??? Then it comes back and there's only 3 or 4 BS threads???

I sniff a skunk... I mean, something smells like fish... I mean, there's some kinda conspiracy going on here... They trying to give us the boot and we'll end up with nuthin' but chanty sing threads...

I was worried when they took T-Shirt Babe away for the last time but now I'm really worried... I done bit all my fingernails to bloody nubs and been trying to catch my cat to gnaw on his claws but he won't come out from unner the sofa...

Hidden within BS are prose, poetry, lyrics, novels, paintings. films and perfopmances as well as a graphic explanation of what and where dark energy/matter is. You see although DE/M is a omnipresent one dimensional super gravitational string like dimension, its expression of mass can be seen as E=MC2 just as in our visible dimensions. The explanation of its ability to pass through itself as well as our space time is elegant and simple and explains why the graininess occurs at quantum scales as well as the acceleration of the visible universe.

Should BS be lost, the progress of science and civilization itself will suffer a 100 year setback.

C'est la vie.

There will always be a BS section here. It's a dear part of the culture of humans and it spurns debate and fosters music.

To banter. To interact. To reflect. To share. To commiserate. To empathize. To support. To... BS.

Thanks Max. You made the best music site possible and the BS section makes it better.

The recent downtime of mudcat was several hours judging by the last posts before, and the resumption of new posts. The rather significant diffence between the number of "top" and "BS" posts that returned should tell us something about differences in the regional distribution of the most prolific posters for the two sets. The 'cat went down fairly late in the evening, when "sensible" BS participants might have retired (unfortunately, those are a small sample?) and came back up possibly at a peak time** for Euro areas. (I haven't looked carefully at the time zones most likely, and probably won't this time.)

** Prior observations have shown that the biggest "hump," if the frequency of posts is considered, generally is at about the time Londoners would be arriving at work and have the perhaps more powerful office computers at their disposal and nothing much else to do. There's often a lull when one might expect they slip out of the office to go for the morning brew in the same time zone. No statistical analyses to indicate correlation reliabilities have been done, however.

The "Aussie bump" seems possibly correlated to when they arrive home from the evening pub, but the sample is quite small so that hump is barely visible most days. Correlation with changes in coherence by time of day has been suggested as a distinguishing feature, but would require fairly sophisticated study, and likely would not reveal much about the Aussies, since they seem pretty consistently incoherent (to the rest of us) all the time.

The US spans too wide a range of time zones to identify specific peaks in postings. Those attributable to USers are more of a random splatter not suggestive of any useful curve.

I haven't smoked in 15 years, not that I don't want to.

But being dyslexic from day 1 has made all my perceptions overwhelmingly geometric in nature and has coalesed into a very real cosmological construct over the last few months that satisfies many questions regarding dark energy/M.
I am not delusional about this model I have mentioned. I realize I am mathmaticly illterate and am but a speck, an unimportant person and insignificant in any acknowledged cosmological achievment.

But so far the damn thing works as a thought experiment that accounts for our gravity, "its gravity" and the accelerating expansion , which is not a repulsive force but actually so omnipresent that most of it does its "pulling" from the bulk of the universe which has no center but a very large surface.

Also the acceleration of space time opens the door not just to black holes or entropy but a unique ability to communicate with the past as a real active reality. With technology the same is true of the future within certain limits of hundreds to thousands of years.

Metaphoricly speaking...
To make a "Time Phone" work, one must first physically place the twins of many quantum duality particles at a location in which you want to communicate in time. In a way its like having to build the telpone lines first but without space warp travel it would limit the distance into the past or future communication to months or years instead of centuries and millenium.
Sorry its not like you could walk around in the past and look over Beethoven's shoulder. It works more like a telegraph than a time machine.

Opps I digress, but I do have a cogent presentation that is every bit as simple and compelling to novices and advanced cosmologists alike. IF there is a fundamental flaw, at least it has been fun.

AND, is Mudcat going down in a few minutes in protest over SOPA and PIPA? Wikipedia is, and Max has posted about his strong feelings about those pieces of legislation. I'm fine with that protest even though I will experience withdrawal symptoms as I did late Monday night. In fact I thought Mudcat had started the protest early.

The recent news item that reported Wikipedia will join the SOPA shutdown is the first place I've seen a time specified. Apparently Wiki said Midnight to noon (Eastern US time zone), but I haven't seen a clear confirmation that others are all coordinated to that, or even to the same date.

Where to start???

No to the cat, Donuel... I'm already Uncle Bobert to the mangy one living in my garage... It thinks I'm this nice uncle... Wonder what it would think if I threw the sumabich in my pond??? Not that I would do that, mind you, but I was just wondering...

Yes to lexdexia... Wouldn't trade mine for all the tea in China... Bag of good weed, you say??? Hmmmmmmmm??? I think on that one...

But I like the idea of the "Time Phone"... Hey, if we had one of them we could fire the Supreme Crooks... We gotta a question about letting kids carry AK47s to school we just ring up Thomas Jefferson...

As for SOPA... You had better use it or else yer just wasting the water and you'll still smell like a warthog in a peach orchard in August...

Economics 101... Unfortunately, I understand it purdy good... Actually was once certified to teach the stuff... What I don't understand is womenz... The analogy was that the P-Vine gives me $20 and then asks me to take her to lunch and and then to Starbucks for a double chocolate brownie and a cup of Pikes Place and then later that night asks me where the $20 went that she gave me???

Ain't no "wink" about it... Just crazy stuff that men don't unnerstand about womenz...

As for the Gipper??? I ain't buying none of the explanations so far but then again, I'm broke and the P-Vine won't give me any more dough 'cause she says I can't be trusted with money papers, you know, folding money
