Red rover, red rover let (red guy) come over. Blew my mind today.

I know right!!! It's like the chicken and the egg. Did our taste buds evolve to crave the shit that grows on this earth or did an omniscient, all powerful deity just up and say: BEHOLD - "Vitamin C for your ATP" and then there was magic orange circles for everyone. On the dirty dirty ground. What is that dirt doing down there?! That's a complicated question for a different day.

As a non-religious man who has learned about religion its actually the secular gamer in me that wonders if there isn’t some GM who created it.

In some ways I wish there was some intelligence to it and in other ways the randomness of it is appealing.

I guess reveling in the mystery and the pontification of it all is what I enjoy while munching on a nicely chilled fresh and juicy orange slice.

A show on nova about physics and they showed time all laid out like a sheet and said our perception of time is wrong because we are always in the moment. I cant stop thinking about it. Fucking physicists.

Some great Mind Blowing responses from a recent Ask Me Anything with Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

"Photons have no ticking time at all, which means, as far as they are concerned, they are absorbed the instant they are emitted, even if the distance traveled is across the universe itself."

"1) The fact that an electron has no known size -- it's smaller than the smallest measurement we have ever made of anything.

2) That Quarks come only in pairs: If you try to separate two of them, the energy you sink into the system to accomplish this feat is exactly the energy to spontaneously create two more quarks - one to partner with each of those you pulled apart.

3) That the space-time structure inside a rotating black hole does not preclude the existence of an entire other universe.

(When asked about his favorite fact about the Universe) - "That is will never end. That it's on a one way trip of expansion. Something that many find to be philosophically unsettling. My view is that if your philosophy is not unsettled daily then you are blind to all the universe has to offer."

This 40 year old guy that I've had multiple class with just announced that he is running for State Senate. He's failed 3 of the 4 classes that I'm in, but has apparently already been raising funds and seems like he's completely serious about this. I forgot to mention that he's an electric scooter salesman and very likely mentally challenged. I'm at a complete loss of words.
