Well - Lisa Randall's book arrived two days ago and I have been reading it.

I read about two minutes ago - the attempts to combine GR and QM aren't making predictions about the world we see, but a scale BELOW quantum! And I'm like 'I should have picked that up when they keep using Planck scale!' Yet all this time I thought they were having trouble to combine GR and QM to talk about the macroscopic world!


IDIOT.

Dude, you should be proud that this is an embarrassing thing for you.

You should see the really stupid stuff that goes on every day. Makes me sad to be human.

I know! I sometimes wonder about others.
