the ekpyrotic universe - SO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS THAT THERE WAS A UNIVERSE OF 3-DIMENSIONAL MATTER THAT WAS EXISTING BEFORE THE UNIVERSE WE ARE IN THAT WAS SLAMMED BY ONE OF THESE 5TH DIMENSIONAL WAVES. AND THEN SETS OFF AGAIN WHAT WE HAVE BEEN CALLING THE BIG BANG WHICH WAS THIS ENORMOUS, RAPID EXPANSION OF HEAT AND ENERGY BEFORE THE CURRENT MATTER UNIVERSE.

Uh, OK, but where did this "pre-world" come from?

  • Y'all go reread "What Big Bang?" in
    TIHKAL & if that doesn't clear it up
    try Poe's Eureka next.

      • " The particular surrender of philosophy to science in the matter of logic--
        to mathematics as science's logic--is part of the general destruction philosophy
        has suffered at the hands of science, and of the general intellectual deterioration
        that science's pre-eminence in the intellectual life of this time has brought about. The
        imposition of mathematical criteria of logic on linguistic analysis has been fostering
        teachings that undermine what faith may still survive in the existence of standards of linguistic
        correctness, and the human importance of there being such standards. Where such
        an attitude of mind takes lead in the faculties of judgement, which require for their
        functioning fixed value-scales, such as are to be found stabilized by endless testing
        in the logical scheme of language, the moral energies go into decline." L(R)J

      • Master-mind
        The writer crossed the river twice.
        The first time it was only ice.
        The second it was really cold,
        the oldest story had grown old,

        & standing on his starting bank
        he knew he had himself to thank
        & wondered why it looked so fine
        incessant frozen riverine.
