hours. We had a very good last night and today at Kim and Paul’s. We came home
after eating lunch at Panera near the crossroads Rt. 23 (Columbus Pike) and Rt.
750 north of Columbus. Thursday we are up again into Saturday. Tonight we had
half of a Papa John pizza (half works, half veggie) and watched Sunday’s “Masterpiece
Theatre: Downton Abbey” and “CSI”. Carol’s turned the light out, so it is time
for bed.
Save this and add to tomorrow’s post. –

Before noon. You did fifty minutes of exercises
today and are feeling pretty good about it. And, on Friday you are going to
lunch at the Amish restaurant off of I-71 between Massillon and Columbus to see
David and Marsha. No snow today, but the temperature is a cool five degrees
above.
1158
hours. I am looking forward to tomorrow through Saturday. Seeing old friends
and family is always fun. I really need to work on book two. I am getting uncomfortable not focusing.
Earlier
you and Doug had a conversation of the shapes of a nebulae and Doug reminded
you of how Lowell made a mistake on the canals of Mars. You agree. Then you
diverged into the meaning of shapes as seen below.

Doug,
Perhaps shapes
don't mean that much in themselves but 'branching' is certainly a part of how
life is -- well, it is how humans view aspects of physics as well as
bio-physics. For instance, I wonder what shape has to do with consciousness --
that is any body that has consciousness and how biological shape sets up a
focus line as far as consciousness goes. I am thinking here that what does it
take for consciousness to develop a metaphysical system -- reason alone?
Maybe what I
am trying to say is that I wonder what shape reason would be if it were a
three-dimensional system? Like a tree, for instance -- and branching -- or
first 'trunking'. You would have your roots in numbers and words? Would there
be two parallel trunks? How would the (tunneling) / branching be set up? Is a
nebulous cloud like the shape of a thought? Is the word 'peace' shaped the same
as the word 'war'?
Weird
wonderings -- on shapes and systems ;-) What do you think?

Just
a note here, what if the red shift is caused by shape of the universe,
orndorff? – Amorella
1356
hours. How could that be? I think the universe is basically flat. Besides, I
don’t agree with those physicists who think the universe is shrinking. What you
are suggesting, at least to me, is that the shape of the universe is basically funnel shaped, and that only goes out so far then is sucked back into Something or Nothing.
Atoms only go so far. The Big Bang doesn’t
have to be that big that it goes on forever does it? What about all the other
universes out there? You suggest they are as Xmas tree lights. They go out when
there is no more power. Cut the power and what’s the difference if you discount
time (and space)? – Amorella

hours. I don’t know.
Shape would depend on what dimension it is
in. Like Doug says, the thought would take a shape in the mind of the thinker.
The mind of the receiver of the thought would give the thought herorhis own
shape. It is not the same thought in terms of shape and may not be the same
thought at all. – Amorella
1409
hours. This is a disturbing thought.
Perhaps what people think the universe is,
scientifically, is not, scientifically. If some people think the red shift
shows the universe is shrinking and other people think the red shift shows the
universe is expanding maybe both are wrong. That’s the point here. – Amorella

hours. This sounds like a logical fallacy Amorella.
Sometimes so do you, boy, but are you? –

1417
hours. My thinking is not clear.
1709
hours. I have read over chapter seven and have made several minor corrections.
I am ready to tackle chapter eight.
