Dear Friends,
Following the quote of
the week: "Some things I have said of which I am not entirely
confident. But that we should be better and braver and less helpless
if we think we ought to inquire, than we should have been if we
had indulged in the idle fancy that there was no knowing and no
use seeking to know what we do not know - thet is a theme on which
I am ready to fight, in word and in deed, to the utmost of my power."
– Plato
I'll like to post the
question "is time flat?" It was mentioned after Kim's
talk last Saturday at the conference that findings of the Boomerang
project leads to a relativistic flat MW brackground radiation. Also,
Kim mentioned that one of the main accomplishments of the 20th century
was that of humanity being able to measure distance, but is it not
that every time we talk about distances we think in terms of time?
Daniel also reminded us how the arrow of time is defined by DS and
how we have been unable to know what time is. As distance is the
separation between two points, is time the separation between to
(entropy)states?
Why is that I ask myself
this question? Is it because in order to integrate science to society
we have to be relevant? And time is one of the key questions of
modern time to the point that it is said "Time is Money"
