in a paper titled Parallel Universes, cosmologist
Max Tegmark writes,

If space is infinite and the distribution of matter
is sufficiently uniform on large scales, then even
the most unlikely events must take place somewhere.

In particular, there are infinitely many other inhabited
planets, including not just one but infinitely many with
people with the same appearance, name and memories
as you.

Indeed, there are infinitely many other regions the
size of our observable universe, where every possible
cosmic history is played out.

. . . Although the implications may seem crazy and
counter-intuitive, this spatially infinite cosmological
model is in fact the simplest and most popular one
on the market today.

IF indeed there are infinitely many people just like you,
living on infinitely many planets, that are spinning in infinitely
many galaxies, that are distributed uniformly in a space
that is infinite,

THEN it would follow that in ANY and EVERY direction
from your current location, there exists another You

a You directly ABOVE and BELOW

a You to your LEFT and to your RIGHT

a You AHEAD and BEHIND

and although the distances are unimaginably vast,
at this very moment -

you are surrounded, in every direction, by another
You

the Inter-Galactic Information Matrix is replete with human
references to the term "Love"

and it would seem that this term holds the key to an
understanding of planet Earth's dominant, albeit primitive,
life form

at the outset it must be noted that "Love" is poorly defined
and exceedingly difficult to grasp -

difficult, it seems, even for the humans, themselves

definitions of "Love" are widely diverse, each contributing
little to our understanding;

however, by reviewing, comparing and contrasting these
limited defintions, a priliminary understanding of this elusive
concept may emerge

and so our task, in the current lesson, is to consider the
communications listed below, and for each -

1) note the context in which term "Love" appears;
2) speculate as to its intended meaning;
3) cross-reference it with preceding and subsequent usages;
4) seek to construct a meta-defintion that is greater than
the sum of its parts


Human Communications  Regarding  "Love"

- Love is a great beautifier

- Where love is, no room is too small

- Love stretches your heart and makes you big inside

- Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing

- Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and
touch and greet each other

- Loves makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place

- All you need is Love

- To love is to suffer

- Take away love and our earth is a tomb

- Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in
each other all along

- Love is friendship set on fire

- I love my mommy

- Love ceases to be a pleasure, when it ceases to be
a secret

- All is fair in love and golf

- Love alone could waken love

- The eyes, those silent tongues of love

- Better to have loved a short man than never to
have loved a tall

- There is no fear in love

- Who loves, raves
 
- Love is like an itching in my heart, tearing it all apart;
just an itching in my heart, and baby, I can't scratch it

- To reason about love is to lose reason

one of the most mind-boggling, jaw-dropping and
awe-inspiring qualities of our goverment is its truly
remarkable speed and efficiency

take, for example, the Senate Banking Committee's
investigation into the origins of our nation's current
financial crisis

below are highlights of a recent Banking Committeee
hearing

they represent Senate state craft at its finest -

truely a shining beacon of hope for the world's new
and struggling Democracies

the answer to this riddle has been attributed to many thinkers;

included among them are: French Enlightenment writer, essayist,
and philosopher, Voltaire; the pre-Socratic Greek philosopher,
Empedocles; and philosopher/theologian, St. Augustine

to the question, What is the circle whose center is everywhere
and whose circumference is nowhere?

they answer, God

string theory posits the existence 6 extra spatial
dimensions;

dimensions that are beyond our senses; beyond
the perceptible dimensions of length, width and height

they are, "twisted and curled into complex little shapes . . .
billions of times smaller than even a single atom" - link

if these 6 additional spatial dimensions exist,
it would be reasonable to expect that they have
some effect on, some relevance to, our universe

but what might that effect be?
and how crucial would it be to our existence?

physicist Brian Greene poses these question in
Nova's The Elegant Universe

and his answer relates to the precise numerical
values of fundamental constants of nature;

values such as c, the speed of light in a vacuum
(299,792,458 meters per second) and G, the
gravitational constant (6.67300 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2)

check out the video below, an excerpt from
The Elegant Universe, to see how the 6 extra
spatial dimensions of string theory may affect, and
may in fact determine, the nature of our universe
