Cool stuff...

I think I’ve mentioned this before, however, there’s a mathematician whose name escapes me who calculated a formula for time which, when plotted against human history perfectly matches its peaks and valleys with highs and lows in society such as valleys during the world wars, peaks in times of great peace and prosperity, etc. The “thing” about his formula is that the plot ends in 2012 (ps: his work predates all the hysteria about the Mayan calendar, which also, of course, ends in 2012.

Many people postulate that 2012 is the end of the world. Being the freak geek and conspiracy theorist that I am, I actually have an alternate view. It’s long been my belief that this is not when the world ends, but is when time travel becomes reality on a meaningful scale… at which time the concepts of linear time and a “calendar” both become somewhat more complex… how do you plot time once you can move about in it at random? How do you create a calendar when you don’t yet know which tomorrow you will be present in?

So, now there’s this… http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/...es/?test=faces

How cool is that?
