My brother the physicist:

Phil says:
Morning young paduan learner
Karl says:
hey
Karl says:
what's up?
Phil says:
Meeting in 10
Karl says:
I liked much of the recent Star Wars, but the writing was horrendous
Phil says:
No, 9 minutes
Phil says:
Wonder who will make the next 3!
Karl says:
I saw no evidence that Tom Stoppard punched up the dialogue
Karl says:
I hear that they are going to do a TV series
Karl says:
live action
Phil says:
I should read the books to see what happens - guess the emperor survives the fall
Karl says:
Luke goes over to the dark side
Karl says:
and becomes the new emperor
Phil says:
sure
Karl says:
hunting children of his own
Phil says:
turtles all the way down
Phil says:
very obscure reference to an infinite recursive loop
Phil says:
Atlas holds up the world and stands on the back of a turtle, which must in turn stand on another turtle --- all the way down
Karl says:
ah
Karl says:
I forget about the turtle
Karl says:
Several Native American tribes called America Turtle Island
Karl says:
I wonder what that's about
Phil says:
Ultimate semantic puzzle - what is the last turtle standing on - the ground of existence - that existence must exist because it can't not exist!
Karl says:
what the real source of that archetype is
Karl says:
Xeno's paradox with turtles
Phil says:
Can a universe or multiverse ever really be infinite in extent without also being infinite in time - if time is in fact a space-time dimension?
Phil says:
Time is said by theoretical physicists to be that space-time dimension that is perpendicular to the expanding surface of the n-dimensional space-time bubble in which we exist
Phil says:
GOD I love learning - and knowing - and puzzling over things - must dash though
Karl says:
ok cu
Phil says:
u i wuill c
