Oh, excellent. And likewise, if i'm every featured on US's Discovery Channel, i'll give you a copy to burn! ;-)

The thing about "now" that was fun is the idea (which makes sense, but i'd never thought of it) that you are never ever able to expereince "now", cause it takes time (granted, time so short it's irrelevant), for the light (and sound, but again, less relevant) to get to you.

My dresser, 2 meters infront of me, is 2 meters worth of time BEHIND me in the "now". so really, it could be blown up and flattened, and I'd not know it for .000000000000000000000000002 seconds, or some such. ;-)

I like looking at the sun (seriously, by the way) and knowing that it could be gone, and I'd not know that. Course, I also like looking at the sun and just trying to fathem how fucking bright it is, that it can look so big at sunrise, but be out in the deep blackness of space shining on, you crazy diamond.

None of my re-interest in science (including the stuff on cognition) would have come, had it not been for the internet and BBC. I do not want my MTV, i want my BBC. ;-)
