Just like having a history book in your hands, it nicely ties everything together into one gigantic operation over the past decade and some odd years.
Some more good stuff:

You might have noticed I don't have cool links anymore, just plain text…I broke my fancy editor a month or two ago and haven't really tried fixing it yet…does anyone care? Might give me motiviation…
I enjoyed this immensely: http://www.braingle.com/28638.html
I was thinking…who needs god when you have infinity and eternity? Well, at least eternity as some scientists posit (postulate? speculate?) that if you go far enough in any one direction you end up where you started, making the universe quite finite if I understand the idea correctly. Eternity, however…unless there is something fundamental about time that we can't wrap our little minds around, eternity is a gigantic concept. Forever. I think I've mentioned it before. Where does god fit in forever? Forever implies a lot of time. Eternity is infinite. So, no matter how far you go back, there is always a before. The idea is so gigantic, I can't help but think there is something we aren't seeing. Lets suppose one of three situations: There is forever, it has been forever, and it will always be. Time eternal. Why? Where did it start? Those are non-questions due to the very nature of time, a nature we can't possibly understand (assuming there are no external factors involved, see second and third situation). Poor little limited apes… Second situation: Time has existed 'forever' with regards to the life span of the energy and matter which make up our universe, but this is due to an external factor. There is a way to be outside of time, in some other method of existence where somehow time has no meaning. Those that inhabit this area create a framework for time to exist, and inject matter and energy into this experiment to see what happens. This feels right to me for some reason… This could also be considered the 'god' explanation, although I don't believe that those who inhabit that area have anything at all to do with anything that has been created with regards to religion in the conventional JudeaoChristianIslam sense. Third situation: god in the conventional sense does exist and created the universe as it is 6000 years ago. Time eternal exists only for this god, everything else is a purposeful construct which is intended to appear as if it belongs in one of the first two situations. I had more to post but I forgot it all…

I checked it out once or twice in the past, but recently it got me hooked…sometimes I'll just digg a story without reading it (like Russia passing Saudi Arabia as the leading oil producer, for example), other times I find really interesting things which I'm glad to find out. Its sorta like the nightly news for the internet crowd who doesn't watch the nightly news, except it is on 24/7 and has actual content, as opposed to the other '24/7' news sources such as CNN, etc etc. Oh, instant gratification here I come again!!!
