    I think I understand what it's talking about. Say you project a light from a lamp onto a wall. The light is there, but the wall isn't the source of the light.

    I watch a lot of Babylon 5. Does it show? :o

    The logical extension of Greene's theory is that there is, somewhere in the multiverse, a potential spatiotemporal continuum where Star Trek is real.

    There is also a potential continuum where not only is Trek real, but there is a holonovel series (or something) in which WE are the characters, and our complaints about STO are popular entertainment.

    Chew on that! :D

    It's not a theory, it's a hypothesis. There's not enough evidence for it to be called a scientific theory.

    Just as long as I don't see stage lighting falling from the sky, I don't mind being the entertainment.

    I read about that...made me wonder. Then I watched Tapestry again. Which brought to mind questions I have about the whole it taking 6 days to create the earth. I mean, If "god" was really so powerful, wouldn't he just manifest a planet in front of him in a ginormus flash of light (and thus "let there be light")? I mean, Q would have. He's bragged about other similar things, like how he knows changing Picard's life won't cause universes to explode. Which, in itself, implies that this universe is just an illusion that Q--GOD created for his own sick pleasure. It can't be real because god is the only one who can manipulate it. Remember The Truman Show? How the sun came up on command? That was some freaky **** right there, man.

    Wait, what were we talking about?

    I wrapped my head around this one before. On one side, I am an omni powerful being that could do anything. In another I am an abused cabin boy from the high seas /shudder, another I blew up the universe, another I didn't exist.

    My point, if there are infinite universes, why haven't we seen a extra-dimensional/parallel universe being that reveals itself.

    Are we the insignificant version where we don't have any kind if omnipotent being and that all other said being simply overlook us?

    The whole, just because you can't see,touch,hear,taste,feel it, doesn't mean it's not there" explanation never sits quite right with me
    Chive on and prosper, eh?

    Who says we can`t see, feel or experience extra dimensional beings?

    Think about: out of body experiences, ghosts, uncanny feelings, dejavu`s etc? For me that means there`s something out there, just beyond the corner of my 3 eyes :P

    And if there are many universes, and i think there are,who says there aren`t safety protocols to preventing them to blend in to each other. If there weren`t, we`d be seeing indeed more strange new things stumbling to our backyard. Now, in my opninion such an event horizon would disrupt the balance of most ppl`s state of mind which is unfortunatly based on a lot of superstition and fear instead of logic and common sense :P

    Most ppl go on stampede when a giant big wave comes from out of the seas, or when certain politicians are trying to get re-elected :P Now imagine there are indiscribable things appearing on our puny little planet...Not a very healthy thought isn`t it?
    Imagine Hubble telescope displaing the little line: God/Q was here on a distant starcluster/planet.

    So, i`m glad there are things like "prime (temporal) directives", it makes things tidy and secure. We are facing enough challenges as it is without having to worry about how we can get rid of 11 th dimension beings from Outer Space. So maybe we should be very glad that we are being overlooked.

    I have this idea that when the time comes and humanity has progressed well beyond it natural state of mind we will encounter things that have not seen before. We just need to finetune our mind and senses, but on an evolutionary scale that could mean we have still some work to do before we go so called "post-human".

    Until then: i think, so therefor i game :) But it doesn`t necessarily means: i am, hehehe.

    If this is a holographic movie we're living in, then the conscience force directing us and forcing us to perform for 'it' is an extremely cruel and sadistic force.

    Maybe our universe is a 'horror' story and other universes are comedies, romances, dramas, documentaries, etc.

    Oh well, maybe we`ll be getting a patch pretty soon :) Who knows...Climate changes do serve a purpose after all..right?

    At least it`s more interesting then a docu in Gaelic with klingon subtitles about the breeding cycle of the greenweed coocoofish in a remote part of the ocean..:D

    We all play but bit parts in a tragedy called life, and at the end the curtain closes and the play is finished.

    As Kes once said: "But Tuvok, there is something beyond the sub atomic!"

    Tho she only lived for 9-years, she had a most interesting way of thinking about the universe..Too bad she got wee bit grumpy at the end,hehehe.

    I've got a better one: by logical extension to that statement, it also means that 1984 is real, in an alternate universe.

    Now there is a scary thought

    An even scarier thought is that Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" is real, and we're living in it right now.
