I'd be more outraged with the first book.

The first book would also make me angry.

I wouldn't mind reading the second book.

You two realized that was sarcasm, right? He was just saying that many people would be offended if they dared said anything not completely in praise of The Dark Knight.

I don't understand sarcasm.

Was it about Angry Mob's Avenging of the Popular Hero (in which the angry but relatively dull mob becomes angrier because their hero was insulted or killed)?

I love showers. I should have one more often. Talk about relaxed!

I feel more empathy for Mick Avory than I do for Madonna.

A while back, I said that this is often a problem for me:

Here’s my new plan for dealing with this:

For my constructed universe, I am wondering about the possibility of time being a different space of its own. This would mean that time has three dimensions and has the appearance of a volume, most likely a triangular pyramid, if anyone could view it from the outside. A tempi will be defined as that structure. Since this is a constructed universe, anything that does not seem too illogical or paradoxical will pass and I will probably handwave any minor occurrences as occurring due to the Ϙ-field (qoppa field, archaic Greek letter used to prevent confusion with the letters from real physics I will learn over the course of the year, pronounced like a cross between a hard g and a k), which is relatively intelligent (affected by the thoughts of the creator, who is kevinjh) compared to the nature of the other laws, which are not affected by mere thinking.

If it is possible to create time in three dimensions, then theoretically, apparent time that passed in the tempi would be a consequence of motion along the spatial axes. Theoretically, it should be possible to move through time by making several rotations and translations involving the spatial and temporal axes because they will be equivalent (in that switching only one pair results in an apparent two-dimensional appearance but continuous motion in one direction). However, I wonder about how the physics inside the tempi would work because I am not sure how apparent time would pass inside time itself. Perhaps, the expansion of the spatial universe represents apparent time inside the tempi?

Also, I should mention that for two-dimensional atoms, the electrons will look more like the old lies-to-children model of a solar system with all the uncertainty that the electron cloud should have. For one-dimensional atoms, I am unsure about implementing this, but my best visualization seems to be that of a tiny line segment with electron gradients on both sides. Definitely, one will not be able to see much of two-dimensional matter, contrary to popular depictions of paper-thin characters.

ADDITION:
On second thought, the tempi will probably be curved concave outwards because there were probably only a few discrete vectors and positions for the universe to compute near the beginning.

Makayla - I know right, hot showers (or baths) are very refreshing. :) But I do usually have one everyday. Somedays if I am not feeling all to well and not doing anything to get dirty or sweatie, I just wash all the important parts and brush my teeth. Some people don't even brush their teeth but onces a day maybe. I brush at least twice and sometimes three times a day depending on if I eat three times that day plus I use the orginal Listerine. I love that stuff.

Good luck with that Jory! :) I have so many books I have bought and that are sitting on my book shelves just waiting to be read. I think I'll make a list of them and tack it to the wall so I won't keep forgetting about all of them.

Kevin's definitely brilliant! :thumleft:

I shower once every other day, because I like the oils in my hair to sit for a day and keep my hair nice and smooth. Then I wash it before it gets too greasy. :P
