Bleu Oleander: and the conversation made the trip fly by
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: a salon car?
Bleu Oleander: yep
Bleu Oleander: people would come in and realize we were all related and walk out when they heard us talking about the salons lol
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: chased them away

Bleu Oleander: can't wait for our next trip!

Riddle Sideways: bet you don't
Bleu Oleander: reading nice new book on physics
Bleu Oleander: "Seven brief lessons on physics" by carlo rovelli
Bleu Oleander: easy to follow
Bleu Oleander: nice and clear
Riddle Sideways: lots of reviews found
Bleu Oleander: a quote: "the difference between past and future exists only when there is heat. the fundamental phenomenon that distinguishes the future from the past is the fact that heat passes from things that are hotter to things that are colder."
Bleu Oleander: he'a a loop quantum gravity guy
Bleu Oleander: thermodynamics
Riddle Sideways: quickly trying to adjust context, shifting and wishing for more coffee
Riddle Sideways: coffee has gone cold
Riddle Sideways: it is in the past
Bleu Oleander: "Probability does not refer to the evolution of matter in itself. It relates to the evolution of those specific quantities we interact with."
Bleu Oleander: could be that its stable now so no past or future :)
Bleu Oleander: only now
Riddle Sideways: wondering about the absolute cold in the void of space
Riddle Sideways: but, that might have been proved wrong
Bleu Oleander: "the gravitational field is space itself, in effect space-time. therefore, when heat is diffused to the gravitational field, time and space themselves must vibrate"
Bleu Oleander: "What is a vibrating time?"
Riddle Sideways: frequency?
Bleu Oleander: interesting ways to think about things
Riddle Sideways: yes
Bleu Oleander: not finished the book yet
Bleu Oleander: but having lots of aha moments
Riddle Sideways: harder if time is thought of a constant
Riddle Sideways: if not a constant then it can vibrate
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: just thought about multiple times
Bleu Oleander: time is subjective ... the present is subjective
Riddle Sideways: and the overlapping
Bleu Oleander: yes
Riddle Sideways: maybe moire patterns
Riddle Sideways: always had the thought we were living in several moire patterns
Bleu Oleander: I love moire patterns
Bleu Oleander: yes
Riddle Sideways: String theory Branes are like built up moire patterns. maybe more solid where multiple cross. hmmmm
Riddle Sideways: what are 3d moire patterns
Bleu Oleander: dizzying
Riddle Sideways: and n-dimension moire interference patterns
Riddle Sideways: that project to an eye that decides to only see the 2d-ness
Bleu Oleander: lots of patterns and we are pattern detectors
Riddle Sideways: detecting the patterns and then giving judgements, interpetations, truths
Riddle Sideways: from a limited pont
Bleu Oleander: our best guesses
Bleu Oleander: yep
Riddle Sideways: same thing
Riddle Sideways: some of those phenomenons
Bleu Oleander: "what's non-apparent is much vaster than what's apparent"
Riddle Sideways: 99% dark mater that is non-apparent
Bleu Oleander: we must remain humble
Bleu Oleander: on that note, I must get going
Bleu Oleander: busy day today
Bleu Oleander: nice to see you both
Riddle Sideways: from a book of youth: "reporting on what he saw, he described a childs toy, having never seen a Van Der Graaf generator"
