I once had trouble reconciling the theory of evolution with my religion, layman's Christianity. I felt as if my belief in a creator was supported by a comic strip I once saw which wondered, if the Universe began with a big bang, in what did the big bang occur? But belief in the solution to this age old conundrum fell apart recently while watching the Discovery Science Channel. Apparently scientists believe the big bang was caused by two dimensions (I don't know which numbers - I don't know how many they're up to) rubbing against each other. These dimensions are supposedly more like rippling lines than they are membranes which stretched and just bumped each other. In other words, the big bang can happen again and again. Why nobody is concerned about this, I can't say. The big bang could happen again tomorrow and there's no way we would know about it in advance! Those foolish evangelicals putting their faith in a creator! The big bang could happen right now and we'd never even know about it!
As if that wasn't enough for my puny brain to worry about, I saw that US military scientists hope to eventually make use of a technology involving some sort of
cloak of invisibility. Apparently researchers in universities believe they can already create such a cloak. I find it difficult to believe, if the media is reporting this development, that it isn't already being used by the CIA. It is difficult to sit here and type while constantly swinging my arms around to discover if there is anyone standing behind me.
But these developments, while troubling, are not what concerns me today. Presumably, if we can already produce a cloak of invisibility and scientists have already figured out many more dimensions than you or I know about, how can we trust anything anymore? I'm concerned that scientists may have already figured out time travel. But if they did, they're not even letting our Senators know about it. I guess it's another example of the closed Bush administration! Yesterday I read reports that Hillary Clinton announced that she
would not have voted for the Iraq War "if she knew everything she knows now." I take that as proof she is not able to travel in time, for if she were, she would already have unvoted for the Iraq War so as to bolster her presidential hopes against Barrack Hussein Obama.
But if Hillary or any other Senator were able to travel in time, what else might they do? Would any of them travel back and give the technology to Adolph Hitler? If they did, that could ripple through the entire Universe. The whole premise of the TV show "The View" - that all Republicans are like Hitler, ching chong, ching chong - would be ruined. Would Hitler have started World War II knowing that his side would lose? And If Hitler never started WWII, would the Russians or Chinese be Communists or post-Communists today?
For that matter, what if someone let the Ottoman's know about it? Might they have somehow managed to stay out of World War I and still be intact today? And if that happened, would there be islamic terrorism or a Saddam Hussein to have removed from power?
Just think of the possibilities, Hillary Clinton could have gone back and shown Hitler how to travel in time so he wouldn't become such a nuisance. But in so doing, somebody would have tipped off the Muslims and they would still be in control of most of the world today so her unvote wouldn't matter and we'd all be praying five times a day yet probably have lost any sense of 11 or 12 dimensions and no longer believe in the big bang or time travel. It's all so circular, I can't stand it.
