The sky is orange this morning, clouds masking sunrise, indicating rain.

My joints are sore, indicating rain.

Of course I took a fall at breakfast in the morning yesterday.  They mop the floor at the entrance, or exit.  Why isn’t there one word for in and out?  Anyway, I was leaving when I slipped and fell… They obviously used the same mop they clean the kitchen with to clean the exit area.  I go there no more than once a week, cause the grease at McDonald’s will kill you one way or the other.

I’ve got a song in my head.  Dumb song by Mott the Hoople…

All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news…

Where you paying attention in the 70’s?

Well it’s raining… told you!

Christmas party last night, what a range of conversations.  Everything from football, golf, glory days, philosophy, calculus, and travel.  Oh and a lively conversation about guys leaving the lid up on the toilet… geez men, just put the seat down, it’s the right thing to do!

I was asked by Sam, can I prove God exists mathematically, right after I was describing how we have the ability to represent our world mathematically…  No sorry I cannot prove God exists mathematically.  Maybe I needed more math education.  However, I can realize that the world can be represented and modeled and simulated using mathematics, and of course physics.  We are certainly the first creatures in this world’s history that can do that and harvest this knowledge for our own comfort and enjoyment.  Also likely, the first that can contemplate both our own mortality and the brevity of our existence with respect to the enormity of time and the cosmos.

Which brings me to an article I was reading, that suggest that man also is the only creature to evolve religion to help explain our existence, and more importantly deal with this realization of brevity and mortality.   Makes sense.  There must be something more, because without something more we would conclude life is futile and such a decision is not productive nor logical.  So God, to use our english judeo christian name, is the best and most logical alternative.  This is the best I can do to use math and physics to understand the existence, but never explain God.

So I was also reading about quantum physics and relativistic physics and the search for tying the equations of each into a single cohesive theory and the beautiful math to go with it.  If you watch Big Bang over the last decade, then you know that the search has been focused on one idea, called string theory.  Maybe it’s out of our reach, but the fact that we can imagine that there is an explanation yet to be described and represented, can only mean that there is higher order, and higher spirit that has ordered our minds in a way to seek that truth.

There is a proven miracle called quantum entanglement, that shows (in short) that two sub-atomic particles that if created together as twins can share experiences even at massive distances simultaneously.   Thus some force exists between them that operates much faster than the speed of light to communicate.  Fascinating.  We may not fully understand this phenomenon, but we may have the ability to harness this capability… and appreciate its existence!

And why does a song get stuck in our minds?
