    Hi!

    My name is James, and I don't know shit.

    Most of what I think stinks.

    Most of what I know blows.

    In fact, most of you do too.

    Good thing we are all in this together, otherwise I'd think that time turns clockwise: just like my toilet, and I'd hate to see such a good thing flushed away.

    Hello! 

    I'm still James.

    Corrections within myself 

    Are your connections with me as a component. 

    What I think still stinks.

    What I know now grows.

    I drop by bit drip 

    These moments erected  are us.

    Lets try this again...

    Thank you for this post.  I have seen this before and enjoyed watching it for a second time.

    I find it ironic that when I posted the link from youtube to my goodreads group, Classics and The Western Canon to go along with the book we are reading, Paradise Lost, it got removed to some obscure location which will be difficult for anyone to locate.  Seems to me the dogmatic minded can't deal with the possibility that their constructs are outdated.

    hmm...Kepler's combination of intelligence, stubbornness and independence helped him prevail.  Kepler is now on my list of dead people I love.

    "Geometry is God himself."  Kepler

    I wonder if Kepler may have had ocd.

    Cheers! I love that 'What the bleep do we know'. Did you know it was made by the raelians ? Not that it makes it less interesting, actually probably makes it more so.

    I'm Still waiting for string theory to get debunked though. No matter how outstanding the mathamatics you can't just keep creating new particles or dimensions to make the formula fit the expected model. At some point you've got to scrap the whole bandaged mess and use what's been learned to build a more accurate model. It's like adding circles to the Ptolemaic model of a geocentric universe - sooner or later someone like Coppernicus realises that the problems with the math(no matter how good the math gets) points to a problem with the model and turns it inside out.

    Hopefully the idea of questioning the nature of the very existence of the particles will lead to an equally huge shift in get physicists onto the right track. But then again I still don't think mankind is ready for time travel :)
