Rebroadcast: Michael Frayn

Monday, 11am ET: From our archives, Michael Frayn, playwright of the intense Broadway smash “Copenhagen,” is back with big questions about what we really know about the universe.

  • whomsoever reading, you are at the center of IT all, if you feel it must be while your sitting on Buddha’s or Christ’s lap think that, but realize you will be very soon bored there.

    If Frayn gets to accept the “self-reciprocant of unity” as a better way of putting the “golden section” and sees the continued fraction which equals it as the mother of continued fractions his next book may awaken some new thinking of the “stuff” we’re an essential part of, at least for the moment, as the IT and the ALL are constantly changing, and a bit more significantly than the Obama/McCain-Bush “change”.

    And if we all play a bit more with the “WORD” we will have a lot of fun on both the material and spiritual playgrounds. Like drop an inverted 7 into WORD, play with 7s, there are 35 instances of it in the Old Testaments first verse.

    Check out the 2nd letter in sPace, tIme, mAtter, eNergy, mOtion…….
    STUDY UNITY….note their middle letters. Add their numerical value and see that they are each, the most Fibonacci of numbers, 89.

    Note that this is so because of 89’s relationship to UNITY, 100 -10 -1, so that its reciprocal beginning with the base addition series, (the Fibonacci sequence ), can be spread to show the sequence to infinity (+or- 1?).

    See the strange result from google search “eternity weinberg”

    see where Family ’s etymology ends …cf. DOOM, geocities.com/hereoz/instdoom.tif , and at an ARTFL family doom search.

    KNOW as in that KNOWledge that distinguishes the hueman from other sentient entities, that what components of those self-reciprocant of unity spiral systems, that exist on all levels of the cosmos/universe, DNA to galaxy, are getting vis:
    ” MAXIMUM EXPOSURE and MINIMUM SUPERPOSITION”

    Compare that to the most prevalent institutionalization of familiarity , as in “familiarity breeds callousness”.

    Add it all up, spiral it together and you can bow to science and god cavorting whilst smiling at hueman’s original mistake.

    your welcome!
