Boltzmann brains are taking over the universe! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE

!

Strange though it may seem, it's probability. I don't think that, as some have said, it represents some massive hole in modern cosmology.

It's just another great example of why I enjoy physics so much

Evans: "satan doesnt thinks so
satan controls you're and every atheist mind and you dont; know aboute it"

you need exorcism like all other "atheists" "

Since I am, of course, an athiest, Satan has a habit of controlling my actions quite a lot now a days. So don't blame me for whatever I say or do, okay? Because if you do, you're saying that Satan isn't controlling me, which means that you're denying religion, which means that you're EVIL.

Another wen site that is related is-- http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0611043 This is more than science fiction--somewhat spooky as someone said before. Regards, Doc
