The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

FSM Question


For John, BLUFA new view on the birth of the Universe.  Nothing to see here; just move along.



From Nature, the International Journal of Science we have a question, "Did a hyper-black hole spawn the Universe?"  The sub-headline is "Big Bang was mirage from collapsing higher-dimensional star, theorists propose."  The Reporter is Zeeya Merali and the date is 13 September 2013.
It could be time to bid the Big Bang bye-bye.  Cosmologists have speculated that the Universe formed from the debris ejected when a four-dimensional star collapsed into a black hole — a scenario that would help to explain why the cosmos seems to be so uniform in all directions.

The standard Big Bang model tells us that the Universe exploded out of an infinitely dense point, or singularity.  But nobody knows what would have triggered this outburst: the known laws of physics cannot tell us what happened at that moment.

“For all physicists know, dragons could have come flying out of the singularity,” says Niayesh Afshordi, an astrophysicist at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Canada.

Short article, so check it out.

So, the question is, does the Flying Spaghetti Monster qualify as a Dragon within Niayesh Afshordi's understanding.  Vote here:
