The story about the end of the world and more--

we all know
there's no hell and no hiroshima
chernobyl was a cover up
the world is really all in love
 
Ah, how true. But you know, there are no such things as parallel universes. Stephen Hawking said so. Once upon a time he claimed there were such things in weird science as parallel worlds, (note I said science and not imagination). So, after almost 30 years of perfecting his whole idea about black holes and such, Hawking was like, uhh, nah, it's not really what I said.
 
Hey man, I donated $1 to the Lou Gehrig's disease foundation thinking of you Mr. Hawking, now you've burst my black hole bubble. What a great time to live in when the possiblity of parallel universes could be proven by a really, really, really smart guy with his graphing calculator. Even them being only a scientific theory-halfway between science fiction and fact-is most interesting. It's like when you first start to fall in love with someone and you're all hearts and stars, in between simply flirting and mundane fucking. 
 
The Possibility of black holes was between simply flirting and mundane fucking.
 
Now everything is just blaa. No flirting, no fucking, no sci fi, and no interesting facts but that Hawking said this:
 
from the July 22 Boston Globe,
 
"I am sorry to disapoint science fiction fans, but if you jump into a black hole, your mass evergy will be returned to our universe, but in mangled form. There is no baby universe branching off, as I once thought."
 
So, Donnie Darko is all fake? Shit.
What about the shelves of books at the library about black holes? How disapointing indeed. Way to sell out man, way to sell out.
 
And you know what, most of all, I am taking this too seriously. Ha. Really though, for someone who sits and looks for information on websites about such things, not to mention time travel and wormholes, and who took notes while reading The Universe in a Nutshell last summer, you bet this is an issue for me. Who the hell is John Kerry? What? Some guy won over a million dollars on Jeopardy? A murder/suicide in Edgewood?
 
Perhaps an extra-terrestrial from the planet Vulcan, names Darth Vader, promised to melt his brain if Hawking delved anymore into the black hole--
 
At least another physicist, Andrew Strominger of Harvard says that he doesn't think the issue is closed. Phew. There is more to learn! The world is not going to end...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
yet!
