His first existential crisis

I actually find it quite reassuring that I’m just a speck in an infinite universe.

Miles: “Is that where I get to learn about girls?”

Yes.

I also sometimes think that our universe is a black hole in another universe, and every black hole in our universe leads to another new universe. But for that to work, space and time would have to be interchangeable, and…. Oh wait, they are.

She is also going to love it when he is (finally) at college.

The universe has endless mysteries. Some of which may never be solved.

When watching a tv show about the planets, I figured that universe is an atom. If you ever see what astronomers see what our universe looks like, it looks like a sponge. Our universe is a kitchen sponge is some giant’s house. It will be many years before the giant does dishes because being larger, time moves much slower.

One way to dodge the question….lol

Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you’ll know tomorrow. (MIB)

And all of it exists on the bottom of a shoe, somewhere.

BOTH directions? Is the universe two-dimensional?

Love strips like this.

The Universe is boogers inside God’s nose

Miles is one deep thinker.

College will just stifle his imagination and creativity

What to say, when you forgot to brush your teeth and don’t really want to.

One of my favorite things to do as a kid was to lay in bed at night and think about the vastness of the universe, it’s creative force, alternate dimensions, infinity, etc… and just as my mind was blown and struggling to understand what I couldn’t comprehend, I would slip off into sleep with a blissful smile on my face and stars bouncing around in my head.

I’ve got one of those

This reminds me of the conversation Pinto and his girlfriend have with their college professor, played by Donald Sutherland, in Animal House where they hypothesized that our universe existed in the thumbnail of a giant and in our thumbnail another universe existed and so on… These thought exercises are the best.

If he’s having those interests at his age, and keeps them up, college is going to love him back.

I posed this question to the travelling science teacher (except that I had the smaller universes in shoeboxes in the closet). HE told the class about it and told us that this theory had a name (the table leg theory) and was pretty well known in the science community. I felt so heard

No, he’ll hate college. He’ll love grad school, though.
