    'Horizon' tonight on BBC...

    Jeez - we might all be holographic projections from an Event Horizon on a black hole somewhere at the edge of the universe.....

    This has really made me think - ie "I think I'll have a Stella and forget about it and watch Corrie..."

    And this quantum stuff - there might be two or more sets of Krankies in alternative parallel realities, one where they're not funny and one or infinitely more where they are marginally less not funny, doesn't bear thinking about.

    I'm might partake several quantum parallel Stellas tonight - don't fancy the holographic one's though - too flat...

    I've recorded it as it looked a bit heavy.

    But thanks for spoiling it for me.

      You mean there might be another universe where DP is a millionaire & AtW has a sofa.

      I don't believe it!

        Infinite universes...... That's still not going to happen.

            Just watched on iPlayer.

            Very good. Double silt, that was old news. The programme became somewhat more interesting towards the second half. The holographic principle disturbs me little. The idea space time exists within math, now that tickles the mind.

            The big question - how shall this new understanding affect house prices?

              The holographic principal sounds like fantasy to me.
              The fact that the universe is a mathematical concept sits well with me though.
              Did the guy with the long metal tube ever finish his experiment? Did light go fuzzy?

                WHS.

                It wasn't a bad programme; I'm so used to these things being dumbed down it was nice to see one that dared to be a bit more challenging. But all these concepts are so abstract as to be meaningless, and you can't help feeling that theoretical physics' grasp on reality is even less than climate science.
                Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                  Great, we can carry on surfing the net and meanwhile in the parallel universe we are working hard at client co. Can I involve for work done in the parallel universe?
