HOLY CRAP! It's only 17:26 and I'm yawning like a narcoleptic! It's been a great day in school today not that I had class or anything but just strolled in the campus savoring the scintillating panorama of uprooted trees and the sea of dead leaves lying on the ground thinking of the regression of oxygen supply in the air and mused that I might just wanna be a foliologist.:DD Which reminds me, current interest: Theoretical Physics! (And just how did the thought of becoming a foliologist instigated the thought of theoretical physics??o_0 That I cannot explain; might have something to do with the rubric to which they both belong: science! But foliologism isn't physics! It's biology! Right! Exactly! Or is it?o_0)

Now isn't that just the most curious thing? Stephen Hawking has been churning out surreal physics books even before I emerged from my mother's wet and moist and elastic cavern and yet it's only now that I actually read his book! (Well, I'm half way through it, mind, just bought it about two hours ago; and mind, I have one of his ebooks, A Brief History In Time, which I've scanned only until the fifth chapter since I was getting a beating, bulging, red eye from reading it from the monitor screen. I should be ashamed for myself for not finishing the book. And why was I reading Stephen Hawking anyway?) Years ago I've been reading one of those Stephen King horror paperbacks and I wasn't even repelled nor rattled AT ALL so might've had discarded all STEPHEN books altogether. And then there was Daniel Steel, the most mortifying novel I've ever stolen from the library. Oh the bland narration with no penetrating witticism whatsoever at all! And then there was, err, whatsisname, Paolo Coelho and Mitch Albom and talk about AYN RAND! A philosopher-wanna-be friend of mine would drop by my place once in a while and we'd talk about philosophy and realism and empiricism and Sartre, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and all them existentialists, thinking we both have the same brainwave so we traded books and stuff and I gave her my ALAN LIGHTMAN's Einstein's Dreams in exchange of that soporifically INSIPID Ayn Rand's Anthem which turned out to be the ultimate Xanax replacement. Mygod, I swear just thinking about it made me yawn the second time, mygod, did I just forget I'm supposed to sleep right NOW. Haven't slept the other yesterday so I kinda slept at the break of dusk yesternight which eventually disrupted my nocturnal biological clock. Ohmygod, there I yawned again.

So going back to that crippled novelist-philosopher-physicist Stephen Hawking's Quest for a Theory of Everything. (WTF! I wanna be just like him! Except the crippled part, mind, he looks like an autistic anthropoid that'd seemingly convulse in epileptic seizures any second.) He's the resurrection of Einstein, see. When Einstein died he left this bizarre unfinished manuscript that attempts to integrate the two laws of the universe--theory of relativity (the ones that governs planets and stars and galaxies and such) and quantum mechanics (laws on atoms and molecules and particles and waves). Well guess what. It took 100 more years to solve it. The theory that integrates the two's called the String Theory. I have verbosely cogitated about it before but all my musings were all WRONG. I've been swinging in the dubitable side of scientific inquisition! And just what is this newfangled theory? It propounds and actually ratifies two of Alan Lightman's exposition in his science fiction book Einstein's Dreams. And these are:

• There are multiple universes with different aspects of your self in each--all with seemingly separate egos but is actually just one.
• Time as three-dimensional: that for every action you make splits into three consequences, all of which are happening simultaneously.

And the String Theory (also called Membrane Theory or the "M" Theory. (How queer. Ever since The Da Vinci Code, that feminine symbol M just keeps on popping out of nowhere.)) further proposes that:

• We do not live only in a three-dimensional or even four-dimensional plane (that's three-dimension plus time, warping or bending space altogether in a hypothetical "infinite" universe.) but instead we live in a preponderous ELEVEN-DIMENSIONAL PLANE! O_O
• This explains the existence of ghosts and apparitions and UFOs--all of which could only be seen with infrared contraptions; they live in the hidden dimension beyond the scope of our sensory perception.
• The greatest enigma in quantum mechanics, the uncertainty principle (where you can determine the mass OR velocity of an electron but not both) is solved. The quantum physicists figured that the electrons do not live in a three or four-dimensional plane; they live in the eleventh dimension just so when an electron disappears, it appears in another dimension and vise versa.
• Our universe is not alone; there are an infinite number of universes otherwise called multiverses or multi-universes, in the domain of the hyperreality.
• Black holes are the sole means to travel between two universes.
• The opposite end of a black hole is a white hole. Where a black hole sucks in star dust like a vacuum, a white hole spits them out.
• In the Big Bang Theory, it was proposed that our universe came from a Singularity. That singularity is actually a white hole whose opposite end is a black hole in another universe adjacent to ours. In other words, our universe didn't come out of nothing; it egressed from another universe through that peculiar tunnel.
• All universes have a beginning and an end; they are born through the collision of two universes.
• There's time before the beginning of our universe.
• It's possible to create a universe in a laboratory some time in the future. It's possible that superior lifeforms may have had created this universe.
• There are copies of ourselves in those other universes.
• In those other universes, Elvis Presley may still be alive.
• Our dreams merely reflect those other universes.
• And in those other universes, our replicas dream of our lives too.

...and I'm net yet through with the book.:p Can you believe it's just 160 pages??

TWO EXAMS NALANG! And arrivederci first semester!:DD
