Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 04, 2011
Transcript:
Danae: Hey, Jeffrey... what're you doing out here? Jeffrey: Working out a physics problem. Danae: Looks like you're taking a nap. Jeffrey: The creative process works best with a relaxed brain, so I'm letting my mind wander to let a solution drift in. Danae: Cool! Maybe I can help... so what's the problem? Jeffrey: Well, it's a spacetime quandary of relativity and... Danae: Zzz... Jeffrey: You're not helping!!

Danae not helping … what else is new?

Jeffery misses the point that when asleep Danae isn’t interfering either.

As far as Danae’s concerned, it’s Irrelativity.
SusanSunshine Premium Member about 13 years ago
It’s not relativity but it’s relevant — Danae has no time in her space to ponder such a quandary.

Danae be of help? Like that’ll ever happen.

C’mon, Jeffrey – at least she’s not arguing, or distracting you.Think of it as Danae’s zen contribution. (Who knows what idea she’ll wake up with!)

Danae’s contribution is lost on Jeffery.

Be patient Jeffrey. It took Deep Thought 10,000 years just to come up with ‘42’

Just keep talking Jeffrey – she won’t listen to you awake or asleep, it is just the natural order of things…

Told my shrink I understand relativity and quantum theory and he doubled my appointments. Glad I didn’t tell him I understand women or we would have switched seats.Hey, why is that?

When are we going to see the eckert reappear?
TheSpanishInquisition about 13 years ago
You’re distracting him, Danae.

@MartyMartianWhat’s an eckert?
SteveAz about 13 years ago
but Jeffrey you are keep her out of trouble. i say mission accomplished …. well at least for now

For a year after college, if I wanted to get to sleep I just thought back to calculus class. Worked every time.

“Trying to reconcile relativity and quantum physics? Good luck with THAT!”
If it were easy, it wouldn’t be a QUANDRY, now, would it?
There must be some way to reconcile them, it’s just that nobody knows what it is yet. If (as I understand it) classical mechanics are operant above a certain threshhold and quantum mechanics are operant below it, then it’s not a question of contradiction; it’s merely a “threshhold phenomenon.” Having different rules in the microverse and the macroverse doesn’t mean that no rules exist…

Well Jeffrey, you did say a relaxed brain helps…
