Today I present pictorially my old friend,"The Worlds Greatest Wino" in Venice Beach. You may have seen this before but repetition is always effective.
Pondering the Universe last week I considered the consequences of String Theory again. The theory has two main appeals to me. First: dimensionless things like protons and neutrons or people never made sense to me. If a thing exists it has size.
Secondly: Since all things are the result of different resonances of the same string, changing the resonances will change entire objects including the alchemists dream of turning lead into gold. However, since Einstein taught us that the smaller the frequency of the resonance the higher the energy needed to change it. In other words to change lead strings into gold strings would require more energy than the gold would be worth. Example: The energy needed to pluck a violin string is far greater than the energy released by the sound of the same string. Yet we've all known of instances in which the vibration of one string can lead to sympathetic vibration in a second string. And at very low energy transfer. So I conclude that one could turn lead into gold by using a system which would transfer the required energy by sympathetic resonance. I leave it to the reader to resolve the engineering triviality.
Or not.
Engineering trivialities are proof that we're all on this flight together.
