55. Oh no, oh no oh no.....
BWAAAAH!!!! I can't help myself!!

Okay, now, I won't argue with anybody else on my theories, and the naysayers are free to poop on me! I have a thick skin.

I had a discussion with an astrophysicist about why this works. She came to me out of curiosity, and distinctly with the idea of poo-pooing. After I told her she was a scientist and blah blah, our discussion went sort of like this (if you want details of how I work, ask--I find it too self-congratulatory to just blather about it).

We all know time doesn't exist. The past is our memory of it, the future our anticipation of it, so we're always in the now. From this point the future spreads out into a myriad of possibilities (supposedly unknowable) reflecting chaos. However, based on a person's past (which is how I tune in), it's possible to pick out of the chaos probability-based futures. Once focused in, it's possible to "see" how chaos will impact that person's future (I hear the screaming already!).

Does that deny the nature of chaos? Of course! But where in the universe is it written that a paradox cannot exist? I believe a person's "ability" rests with their level of comfort in dealing with such paradoxes. We have no control over the universe. We exist within it, we didn't create it except to the extent that we have observed it.

hee hee hee!! I hear lots of screaming!

:rofl:
