What looks to us like uncanny "deja vu" might just be a sign that time isn't linear. I'm reminded of a weird episode of "The Simpsons" (normally represented by cartoon characters) when Homer falls through a portal into a world of puppets (or so they appear).Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-20919614321298714802017-05-17T21:13:36.139-04:002017-05-17T21:13:36.139-04:00I would expect there are locational (or temporal) ...I would expect there are locational (or temporal) portals that would be more or less prone to slippage.

I probably have it wrong, but I think I've heard/read that any given particle could go anywhere, so that where you observe it is likely to be the place with the highest probability, but it's not impossible that it could go elsewhere. Maybe those red earrings had just picked a low-probability place to appear.

Could be that by a certain age, they realized what they'd missed then took it out on young men. I certainly don't remember many girls getting beat up. Maybe girls didn't challenge them as we did.Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-62890130383956457642017-05-17T12:19:53.151-04:002017-05-17T12:19:53.151-04:00I like how you got into the fourth dimension at th...I like how you got into the fourth dimension at the end there. I love Flatland every time I read it (though the sexism always throws me). Your metaphor here is very similar to the way Flatland suggests one should think about the unexplained. <br /><br />What fascinates me is that we can mathematically look well beyond four dimensions.

Not sure we get as solid a hint on the others. But time we get a sense of, and it could explain a lot of what we're talking about.<br /><br />Yes, Bob and I have discussed this, though he's twice the writer I am. I hit the button every now and then. Bob nails it every time. He's a journalist who uses his considerable skills every day. I never went to college. The old girls sure did well by us in English.
