Now that I know there are some other physics geeks, I mean students of science, in my audience, I want to go out on a limb.

PLEASE don’t write me this was terribly boring. I have spent many hours listening to people speak to each other in languages I did not understand. It was pure cruelty to me.

But this is WRITTEN.

That means you do NOT have to sit there through the whole endless crap I did.

Scan it. If you don’t like it, forget it.

PLEASE don’t write me about how boring it is. I will figure you are an idiot for not being able to scan it.

But I’ll try to be more diplomatic than that.

OK.

Quantum physics says — yes, I know the quibbles — that electrons come into and out of EXISTENCE on a random basis.

Before it collapses into a Black Hole matter weighs a million tons a teaspoonful.

What is a Black Hole? A Black Hole is gravity field which light cannot escape.

Why is it Black?

Because we can only see light.

OK. Let’s remember simple statistics. Once you get into the thousands, much less the millions, things even out. We live in a consistent universe.

Did you notice the word “WE?”

We experiment by what we observe. Do you understand the word “observe.?” It means from the observer’s point of view.

It is not just the observation, but the observer’s point of view that determines the equation.

An Equation has two sides.

We exist INSIDE the equation, not outside. Electrons do not come into EXISTENCE on a random basis. They come into the equation of which we are a product in a bell curve.

But when you get into the quadrillions, much less the googles squared, the bell curve is nothing.

The equation of which we are part has two sides, and we, the observer, are one of those.

Have I made myself sufficiently obscure?*

An Equation has two sides.

We exist INSIDE the equation, not outside. Electrons do not come into EXISTENCE on a random basis. They come into the equation of which we are a product on a mathematical basis.

One episode of Seinfeld showed him wearing a fur coat and carrying a purse. But, as the characters kept saying, it wasn’t a PURSE, it was a European wallet.

At the end of the show, someone snatched Jerry’s purse. Someone told the cop, “That guy snathced this guy’s purse.”

Seinfeld shouted shouted, “It’s not a purse, it’s EUROPEAN!”

Then the show ended when Seinfeld shouted, “OK, it’s a PURSE!” At that point the show ended with a freeze-fram of Sinefeld with his hands in the air, with his fur coat on.

Before AIDS hit the scene, we bigotted rednecks kept saying that the reason womens’ fashions were so ridiculous was that all the clothes designers for women were queer. This vicious accusation was simply quoted by the mainstream media to show how ridiculous the idea was that womens’ clothes designers were queer.

All they had to do was to put us bigots’ words in quotes: “Fromer KKK leader X says womens’ cloths designers are quote queer unquote.”

Which proved that they weren’t.

Then AIDS hit. Barbara Walters did a special bemoaning how AIDS had wiped out the designers of womens’ clothes, who were Great Artists?

“Why is it,” Barbara Walters continued, “That homosexuality gives a man such a perfect appreciation of colors and designs …” And so forth.

Knowing networking as I do, I would guess offhand that if you were NOT a homosexual you weren’t admitted into the mutual admiration club that is womens’ fashions.

Back to Seinfeld and his “European wallet.”

In the early 1970s there was an all-out effort to get men to carry purses, wear “bell-bottomed trousers” that were straight out of womens’ clothing store, and “Italian heels,” which were high-heeled boots that were also straight out of a womens’ store.

It wasn’t queer, it was European.

When I was on Capitol Hill, one of the male stars on M*A*S*H* showed up to testify. The girls rushed out to attend the hearing.

Liberal or conservative, they were sickened. “He had on high heels and he was carrying a PURSE!”

I don’t know if anyone else remembers the guys walking around in bell-bottoms with purses and high heels and blow-dryed hair.

It was the Latest Thing.

It was the sign of Progress.

And no one remembers it but me.
