Ron, that's like looking for a way to meld dentistry and tooth fairies. For children, it may be helpful in quelling their perfectly natural fear of drilling for cavities, but it's not the way forward if you're looking for an increased understanding of dental health and well-being.

interesting and Apt analogy considering that To the Tooth Fairy is where your teeth go after they die :wink:

Yes I know I am a big dreamer and hope we might make some sense of this place we find ourselves. The idea of entropy and anti-entropy at least makes other discussion groups.

I am not saying it's true; only that others find value in the idea and lend their time to discuss it. It's strange how different people experience life. I hate spiders but don't mind the dentist at all.

That thread is just a huge amount of time expended to debunk the woo/pseudoscience/armchair theory or whatever you want to call that original post. Largely a waste of time and if you want to discuss it there are plenty of other venues willing to host your discussion. Precisely why it's banned here.
Just call me "geck" because "zilla" is like a last name.

No. The first link discusses "anti-entropy", something which doesn't exist. Utter nonsense. The second discusses something entirely different, addressing the impact of humans on the Earth. The two aren't remotely related.

You are right. My "dreaming" does get off course. Dreaming off days when humans may impact the galaxy as are doing to the planet now.

I got a beer at the " Galaxy " once or twice and I don't remember them looking forward to it ". HEART played there a few times before they became " explicable light ".
