life goes on...

Been reading quite a bit recently.. the usual sci-fi stuff etc, but ive switched authors and been reading Dan Simmons. I've read his first book, "Ilium" and it just took me away, it was all very interesting and Im now on his second book, "Olympos". But this isnt the reason im writing today, its to discuss Brane theory and the likes. Now I know theres not many people out there that will even have a vague understanding in it, but its along the lines of parallel worlds, quantum physics, and the ilk.

The book im reading doesnt go into much detail behind the theory of it, but it got me looking into it, and its all plausable. The idea is that there is a 5th dimension. We all know about our usual 3 dimensions, and time being the 4th dimension, but with Brane theory, it states there is a 5th dimension that represents multiple "parallel" universes. It also puts a new theory to the big bang. They are now saying that the big bang was caused by 2 Brane universe's hitting each other that caused the great erruption of power to cause the big bang. Im gonna have to read alot more on it, and go over alot more articles on the subject, but i dont see why this cant be fact. Its hard to believe in another dimension, let alone parallel worlds etc, and we all know how i wander off subject... but i love this stuff! this is science fiction becoming science fact! And we all know how quickly things can change in the lines of science. It was less then 30 years ago that Bill Gates stated that no one would need more then 640kb for a computer application. Well Moore's Law proved that wrong! along with people thinking the world was flat, Einstein (E=MC2), Darwin (Evolution), Newton (Gravity), Sagan (SETI). All these people took fiction and turned it to fact. Why cant it happen again?

On other news, Laura is up for 5 whole days, came up last Wednesday and going home on Monday. Not that I've seen much with her, saw her for a few hours yesterday, and shes staying at mine tonight, but not coming round til 5pm. Thats if she does. Im fed up really, this is the fourth time shes meant to be staying at mine in 5 weeks, and guess what... it will be the first! the other 3 times shes always cancelled on me, and its starting to annoy me! Its like she cares more about being at Jo's then she does about seeing her own boyfriend! I'm sure shes got her reasons, but im fed up of orginizing things around her, then her changing her mind at the last minute! I mean, shes here for 5 whole days and nights, and shes only staying at mine one night? Which was meant to be 2 originally. bleh.....

Saw 2 guys on guitars in town yesterday, one singing, and they were really really good. Kinda old school acoustic sound. Chill out songs, like Hallelujah, and cannonball by Damien Rice, and Give me a reason to love you by Portishead. They were that good i actually brought their CD!

And todays tunage is...... Peter Strakos - Give me a reason to love you / Easy
