Arrested Development Tuesday, September 25, 2007
Tobias: I just need to prove to my wife that I can act like a man. And it’s not about sex – I don’t just lie there, if that’s what you’re thinking.
Michael: That’s not what I WAS thinking….
GOB: Sorry, is this…. a quick question for Michael -
Michael: Is this about the money?
GOB: No! Hahaha….
Michael: What do you want?
GOB: I mean it’s not about money in the sense that I’m coming here and saying “Here, Michael, take some money.” It’s more a “May I have some?” kind of visit.
Michael: Don’t you have a wife that you can ask now?
GOB: She left me.
Michael: For Tobias?
Tobias: For me??
GOB: NO. She doesn’t even like you.
(days earlier)
GOB’s wife: I’m in love with your brother-in-law
GOB: You’re in love with your own brother? The one in the army?
GOB’s wife: No. Your sister’s husband!
GOB: Michael? MICHAEL.
GOB’s wife: No, that’s your sister’s brother.
GOB: No, I’M my sister’s brother. You’re in love with – me. Me!
GOB’s wife: I’m in love with Tobias.
GOB: My brother-in-law?
GOB’s wife: I know it can never be, so I’m leaving. I’m enlisting in the army.
GOB: To be with your brother…
GOB’s wife: No!

Parallel universes – a strong theory Monday, September 24, 2007
Parallel universes really do exist, according to a mathematical discovery by Oxford scientists described by one expert as “one of the most important developments in the history of science”.
The parallel universe theory, first proposed in 1950 by the US physicist Hugh Everett, helps explain mysteries of quantum mechanics that have baffled scientists for decades, it is claimed.
In Everett’s “many worlds” universe, every time a new physical possibility is explored, the universe splits. Given a number of possible alternative outcomes, each one is played out – in its own universe.
A motorist who has a near miss, for instance, might feel relieved at his lucky escape. But in a parallel universe, another version of the same driver will have been killed. Yet another universe will see the motorist recover after treatment in hospital. The number of alternative scenarios is endless.
It is a bizarre idea which has been dismissed as fanciful by many experts. But the new research from Oxford shows that it offers a mathematical answer to quantum conundrums that cannot be dismissed lightly – and suggests that Dr Everett, who was a Phd student at Princeton University when he came up with the theory, was on the right track.
Commenting in New Scientist magazine, Dr Andy Albrecht, a physicist at the University of California at Davis, said: “This work will go down as one of the most important developments in the history of science.”
According to quantum mechanics, nothing at the subatomic scale can really be said to exist until it is observed. Until then, particles occupy nebulous “superposition” states, in which they can have simultaneous “up” and “down” spins, or appear to be in different places at the same time.
Observation appears to “nail down” a particular state of reality, in the same way as a spinning coin can only be said to be in a “heads” or “tails” state once it is caught.
According to quantum mechanics, unobserved particles are described by “wave functions” representing a set of multiple “probable” states. When an observer makes a measurement, the particle then settles down into one of these multiple options.
The Oxford team, led by Dr David Deutsch, showed mathematically that the bush-like branching structure created by the universe splitting into parallel versions of itself can explain the probabilistic nature of quantum outcomes.

Milk into Sugar Wednesday, September 19, 2007
Turn Milk into Sugar
Ingredients:
1 box of baking soda
1 teaspoon of citric concentrate
8 oz cold milk
about 1 teaspoon of honey
First add one teaspoon of citric concentrate to the box of baking soda. Mix the citric concentrate in as deep as 1/2 inch only. Leave this in the freezer for at least 24 hours.
When 24 hours have passed, you are ready to turn your milk into sugar. Warm up your honey in a water bath of warm water. DO NOT heat up the honey in the microwave as this will ruin certain attributes about the honey.
Pour one 8 oz glass of cold milk.
Add 1 teaspoon of honey
Next, add less then one teaspoon of the citric concentrate and baking soda mixture to the glass
Presto! Sugar Milk!
