He has a 'thing' about newsgroups being 'led' by a select number of people. It's been going on for years and years and it's infinitely boring. What he really means is "nobody's paying me any attention". He's the Violet Elizabeth Bott of urg and many unfortunate other groups, I'm afraid. Munchausen Syndrome. "An attention-seeking personality disorder which is more common than statistics suggest. Munchausen Syndrome, named after a German soldier renowned for exaggerated tales, is a predominantly female disorder in which an emotionally immature person with narcissistic tendencies, low self-esteem and a fragile ego has an overwhelming need to draw attention to him/herself and to be the centre of attention." |
Ouch my head hurts....thought this was a gardening forum not a testing ground for evolutionary theories, although very interesting it is.
As to the original question I believe my garden will look exactly the same in millions of years time. My reasoning for this is quite simple. My garden is currently stripped bare ready for redevelopment and looks as barren as a very dead planet which is probably exactly what we will have in a few million years time.... probably sooner the way things are going. My advice is to live for now, whats gone, and what will be, is beyond our control so don`t worry be happy. Enjoy your garden now. |

Interesting theory. Are you saying that once again human activity will lay it bare as you have done through choice, or that the Earth will be barren 'as' a dead planet? If so, what killed it? Man? Climate change too extreme for 'any' life? Or what? Mike |

The message
from Martin Brown contains these words: /snip/ It might be easier to continue it here with [OT] in the headers. Or create 'alt.cosmology.no.nutters.please'? And to make sure they have somewhere else to play, 'alt.cosmology.einstein.was.right', and follow that up with 'alt.mike' - and lock the door. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |

The message
from Martin Brown contains these words: Ah, early 486 chip then? No a long way before that. I am not sure if the 286 had been invented back then. I heard about it first hand in 1984. ISTR it had something to do with continuation cards in the FORTRAN conversion output of a symbolic algebra system. It was big iron mainframe stuff.

The message
from Martin Brown contains these words: /eclipse/ Indeed. But the evidence for a Big Bang cosmology is pretty compelling. There are very few die hard Steady Staters remaining these days. Depending on what you mean by that. There are plenty who believe that the universe is continuously expansing and then falling in on itself in an unending cycle of big crunches ans big bangs. Some of these ideas can be ruled out observationally. Unless you invoke a perverse deity to tweak things around on an ad hoc basis. One nasty world model invokes demons whose job it is to decide on surprising answers to any new questions that experimentalists decide to ask. Quite. I'm one of them. The dark matter, BTW, is bound up with string. It is just so much more appealing to have the laws of physics the same for all observers in an inertial frame of reference. You *DO* believe that Einstein was right, then? Multiverse conjectures allow for spanning all possible universes but with only the interesting ones really showing up. A bit like the way wave propagation of light simplifies to geometrical optics when viewed at the larger scale. However, in that case, we demons can't exist. There are also some who posit continuous creation/generation of matter at the centre of the universe, and yet others who maintain that by means of a contorted space/time continuum what goes out of the fringes appears to be coming in through the centre... Anyway, how come the universe doesn't rank a capital letter, and Belgium does? I would refer you to HHGG That only explains why it is sometimes followed by an exclamation mark. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |

Who knows. What`s your theory?
-- Plopstar Hardly a 'theory', more a thought, and it's not mine but the one I have heard which I favour. The Sun will draw us in and we will become fuel. Don't wait for warmer Summers ;-) It's a long wait. Mike |
