There are only and exactly two times when we automatically reply "Oh, no, of course not." The first is when we mean it. The second is when we really mean "You just broke my heart."

Pop Monday: People wonder if movies reflect real life. Hell yes, they do. I'll tell you how. Both make it difficult for two people to find each other and fall in love. Think about it - all the barriers that get put in the way of romance, which in movies is exactly the point. That's what holds our interest for two hours. But in real life, love would hold our interest. Movies end when two people finally embrace, but that is exactly when life begins. Everyone is aching for magic. Everyone wants that moment in the third act when their eyes meet and the music swells, and they fall into their lover's arms. But no one talks! No one connects anymore. Life is a very long movie, and everyone is stuck in the second act. This is what i wanna know: Why can't we cut to the climax?! Why can't we move right pass all the barriers and go straight to the part that everyone's waiting for - the part where the guy gets the girl. posted by Arthur @ 9/16/2002 06:04:00 PM	Monday, September 16, 2002
i ask childishly demanding questions of a lot of people, but i have a suspicion that few walk away as confounded as physicists. According to contemporary physics (and consequently, popular theory), a fundamental attribute of our universe over time is that it tends toward higher levels of entropy or disorder. A broken egg is irreparable, a released gas irretrievable. However, i find this perspective one-sided, and incapable. Because the Big Bang dispersed it, the universe has been cooling, which ironically brought about forces (gravity, electromagnetism, and the nuclear) that tend toward order. So instead of a stubbornly separatist universe, it seems to me that this fragile phenomenon life exists because there is conflict or balance.
