Stirling Campbell:
I'm almost like totally positive that a scientific theory with a finite number of variables is defintely going to explain how the universe really works any day now. We are definitely right on the cusp of this understanding.
Hell yes, and i'm all over it like a fly on shit. It's my next novel, which exists now as a bunch of notes on altered states, meditation, topology, string theory, and quantum gravity, and sits there in an innocent little manila folder labeled "time travel story." I actually wrote several drafts several years ago and never got further back than weaving information theory code into the Bayeux Tapestry or further forward than a post-comet-strike earth 500 years in the future, in which the meek are due to inherit despite the prevailing dystopia. But 'nuff said. A wink will due for the likes of us. Chris is right, this is crazy shit. But i love this crazy shit, i've been working my ass off to get my quasicrystal hyper-lattice algbra up to speed in the right Lie groups, and that tip on using
the non-crystallographic Coxeter-Dynkin diagram folding matrices is incredibly helpful, i was stuck RIGHT AT THAT POINT.
