1. Galaxies have massive black holes in their center. These black holes slowly swallow everything, light, matter, planets, etc.
2. At some point in time, every black hole will reach a certain critical mass and explode, sending out a super massive wave of matter and energy / radiation, to a huge distance.
3. Once this wave reaches another nearby galaxy, it will push the matter from the edge of the galaxy towards the center, towards the black hole. This could trigger another explosion of that black hole, as in turn, it inevitably reaches critical mass.
4. The second explosion will partially negate the energy and mass flying from the first, and some of it will join and actually boost the wave, creating an exponentially faster wave of energy and matter.
5. A chain reaction is created as more and more galaxies join the party, creating a wave of destruction so massive, absolutely nothing survives.

The process described above produces a new, very hot “primal” universe. The larger chunks will attract more matter, and slowly grow into larger chunks and then into heavier planets. Some will attract other chunks into orbit, as all chunks are hurtled against each other. Some will grow large enough to form black holes and then the story begins all over again.

What do you think?

Is it because supposedly that person in the wheelchair is helpless, and an easy prey? Is it this kind of inner ferocious instinct usually found in carnivorous mammals?

Or is it because he thinks she is desperate for Sex and will do anything? Or maybe he is imagining her stiff legs and the thought of her dead limbs is arousing in a very perverse way?

This reminded me of the story of Safran and his dead arm, from the book “Everything is Illuminated” by Jonathan Safran Foer. In that story, Safran, supposedly the author’s grandfather, has a dead arm from birth. This somehow gets him into the arms (and underwear) of most of his village’s women… to the point where it has become a sort of a “secret weapon” for him, which he used to “fish” for his gipsy, non-jewish girlfriend. I seriously recommend that book by the way, it’s awesome in so many ways. And definitely read the book BEFORE you see the movie.

All this is nature. We are the planet, part of it. The planet produced us, and we can continue existing, or we might cease to exist soon. It is our decision, but our decision is natural, guided or misguided as it may be, and we will either kill ourselves, or allow ourselves to continue to exist. It is up to us, up to our “nature”, to control our own future.

At least until planet Nibiru comes for a visit in a few years and kills us all

I decided I’m going to skip being weird this year, on my birthday. I guess this defeats the purpose because I usually am weird on my birthday, so not being weird this year will be weird in itself

To all my friends and family, I’m proud of you all, and thank you for being part of the journey so far. Here’s to our future together, may it be a glorious one

[UPDATE: August 30] I ended up being weird anyway, the majority of the day. I took half a day to walk aimlessly (some call this “walking meditation”). After half an hour of walking without thinking about a thing, I started thinking about life, and ended up performing some inner accounting of the many strange events of late. My wife ended up coming back from University after all, to spend the evening with me, and this seriously raised my happiness levels to the point where I stopped being weird

Grandfather, I miss you so terribly. I cherish the years I spent with you in my childhood. I come from you. I will never forget. I miss you and I love you, forever. For all eternity. Until all atoms in this universe freeze. My life is an inspiration to yours.

Grandmother, I miss you so much. No creature can be said to have been more good hearted than you. Your goodness and kindness lives on in the memory of those you left behind. It is an inspiration to all who knew you, and I hope to not disappoint your ways by being kind hearted, just like you were. I was very lucky to have had a grandmother like you. I will never forget your kind face, your kind eyes, your warmth which radiated from you like a beam of high powered energy.

I googled for a solution, and found none. In the end, I found the solution myself. Here’s what you need to do, to get it working:

1. In spotlight, search for “Java Preferences”, and click to run this utility.
2. You will see a list of JVM versions: 1.6.0, 1.5.0, and 1.4.2. Simply switch to 1.4.2 and click “Save”
3. You are done! Remember to completely close your browser, before you try again.

I know, you want to give me a hug now, don’t you?

For me there is no doubt that eventually, small parts of my brain will be enhanced and replaced, and eventually, all of it will be replaced. It will create a new me out of me, with extra dimensions. I’m betting it will also help me revive very old memories that lost certain associations and are stranded (Some brain “doctor” software will find and fix corruptions in my memory).

It is at this point that I will have the option to become immortal, by uploading my consciousness to a central hive mind, where I will be able to live in a virtual reality, and later, as more advanced robots exist, I will be able to inhabit a body that looks and feels like a real human body (kinda like what the Cylons did, in Battlestar Galactica).

I’ll try to cover more on this subject in my blog from now on, since this subject interests me a lot!

Update: Another article about controlling something with the mind: In the Future You Will Control Machines With Your Mind

There have been lots of debates on penis size. Some say size matters, some say it’s how you use it, etc. The “size” however is not always very well defined. Are they talking about Length, or Girth? Lots of articles (mostly written by Women) talk about how the length doesn’t matter, and it’s really all about the girth, and yet some other women will tell you the length AND the girth matter.

I say, the only right way to measure your Penis is not by length or girth - It is about absolute atomic mass!

That’s right boys and girls. And how do you measure this? Fear not, for I’ve devised a sure method for you Math challenged people, that will also make you look like a “Real Man” while measuring your mass (because Beer is involved). You will need a large empty pot, a glass of beer filled to the top, and a cooking scale to weigh the fluid.

The Beer Displacement Method (Thank you Leah for the name!):

• Step 1: Zero the scale by placing the empty pot on the scale, and turning the scale on. The display should show “0 grams”.
• Step 1: Take a pint of Guinness beer, and place it inside the pot.
• Step 2: Look at a photo of Scarlett Johansson to obtain an errection.
• Step 3: Stick your member into the glass, the beer will spill from the glass and into the pot.
• Step 4: Remove the glass from the pot, and weigh the liquid content.
• Step 5: You are done! This is the mass of your penis!

So from now on, when you brag to your friends about how large you are, remember: what really matters is your mass!

And another thing: If you are crazy enough to actually try this I will be happy to get comments below about your measurements!

Don’t matter: Politics, War, Money, Violence, Religion, Social Pressures, People with hidden agendas!

You people should think hard about the lists above, and organize your priorities right… It is crucial for your happiness!

The logic here is simple: I see two energy consumption models:

1. Internal energy - fossil fuels, gas, wind, etc. these are all elements that exist within our planet.
2. External energy - sun and other types of radiation, the earth gets infinite amounts of those.

We are still consuming #1 and will be doing so for a while however the trend is clear - the planet is going to move to solar power. Solar panels will provide electricity to convert water to hydrogen, or heat water.

When we move completely to #2 we will be using energy generation techniques that do not generate heat - on the contrary, they take heat and convert it to energy or in the case of air conditioning, convert it to lower temperatures.

30 to 50 years later, the pollution will finally settle into the dirt, giving us pristine air quality of the likes you can breath on the alps. The lack of pollution and other greenhouse gases will lead to increased heat loss through the atmosphere, and to colder weather. This will no doubt be a slow and gradual process, but this is where I see things going.Comments please? :-)
