RE: [Utah-astronomy] Are we human because we gazeatthestars?(MostlyOT)

      Which means I am now (to my horror) beginning to understand the "old
folks" I labeled as slightly crazy, who leave their Christmas lights up
and Halloween decorations out all year, etc. because now my perception
is I just take things down and it is time to put them up again.

yes, and time moves faster and we move slower.

Isn't it also true that the older we get, the faster

time goes, and the less of it we therefore have to get

things done? ;o)

On quantum scales, the universe does not operate
...
...
using Newtonian physics.
...
...
...
Brian Greene explained it well in the recent PBS
...
...
special he did a few
...
...
...
years
...
...
...
ago, based on his book IIRC.  The title escapes me
...
...
now but I'm sure
...
...
...
someone
...
...
...
else on the list knows the show I'm talking about.
...
...
If you get the chance,
...
...
...
I
...
...
...
highly recommend that you see it.
...
...
...
...
...
...
It has to do with probability theory and higher
...
...
dimensions.  Not readily
...
...
...
intuitive stuff in our everyday world of up and
...
...
down, today and tomorrow.
...
...
...
Somebody else will have to explain it.

So, this latest variation (time) on the thread is
...

very interesting.   Is
...
...
...

there anyone out there who feels capable of
...
...
attempting an explanation of
...
...
...
...
how  a
...
...
...

cause need not precede an effect?  Layman's terms
...

would be preferable
...
...
...

for
...
...
...

someone such as myself who has difficulty
...

comprehending "billions

...
...
...
and  billions".
