“If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.”
— Stein’s Law
… and which parallel universe is THIS?
If there is an infinite number of alternate universes, in one of them there is a universe which does not have an infinite number of alternate universes.
This paradox will keep me awake tonight thinking about it. Well, OK, probably not me, personally, but some alternate version of me will be fretting about it somewhere.
Taking the new year for granted
When do you take the fact that it is a new year for granted? Personally, I’ll go much deeper into the month to wish those I see a happy new year. I’ll probably do that through the end of the month, to those who I haven’t yet seen in 2010. It seems kind of silly to me to wish someone “Happy New Year” come February, though.
