13 things that do not make sense
 
 personally, i think these things are interesting in a lovecraftian sense, in that the human potential for comprehension is finite.  at the same time, please note that the theory of evolution is not on the list.  sorry, homeskoolers.

I wish I could fully comprehend all these issues, but from my amature brain, devoid of any physics classes in HS or college, I can still say that there are many things we don't know about the universe, and putting down people who are doing their damnest to figure it out is asinine (sp?)...

mental complexities such as these are the true reasons for living within the created time of space, and not whether service charges are fair or not, or if pre-sale ticket chances are the way to go or not, or if morrisey and chris issak were separated at birth or not.  what a gem this thing called reality is, and what other forms of it could exist out beyond out bounds is so candy coated excitement.  everything stated in that article and all thinking on this planet has a one sided opinion, though, being that it does comes from the minds of us humans.  we are all we know, and what is that to show?  i love that part about the other planet they've discovered, beyond pluto: "planet x".  fascinating.  i can't wait until that probe reaches the point of veiwing it.  the year we make contact.

Surely you have no choice about when you live? I suppose you must also conform to the laws of physics, so space and time cannot be altered by you. The only laws you seem to bend regularly are those of comprehension, grammar and logic.

I thought that placebo effect had been discredited?  I heard that the original study was shown to be flawed.

I thought it was discredited with the last album:

I am hardly a quantum physicist, but don't they believe that you are in every time and space, and your current view of time and space is just what you perceive, your current location is just one possibility out of unlimited possibilities
 
 I find quantum physics fascinating, but it makes my brain ouchy

Quantum physics deals with sub-atomic particles. What you are talking about is true on that scale, but not true on the larger scale. It is clear for instance that I am sitting at my computer waiting to go home at 2.41 on a Friday afternoon in College Park.

I know it deals with sub-atomic particles, but some scientists have theorized on whether or not it can be applied elsewhere.

 Where? The standard laws of physics, Einstein and Newton work mostly OK for atoms and larger.

See this rock?  It's solid matter, right?  But in point of fact, the solid parts of this rock, the neutrons, quarks, protons, and electrons comprise only about one quadrillionth of its total volume.

well they would do, if you could define their position or space in time

Ehhh... may I pass along my congratulations for your great-a-interdimensional breakthrough.  I'm sure, in the MISERABLE ANNALS OF THE EARTH, you will be DULY ENSHRINED!
