omaniblogWell there's really only one thing to do: make it happen - go on a road trip to your local - make a journey of it - equivalent of you epic Lands End to John o'Groats - no money no corporate sponsor - nothing but the goodwill of friends, allies, semaritans, Pharisees...
Bring back Bing & Bob... "The Road to Christian's Local" - music by the #octaver orchestra...
Ummm...
Documentally@Omaniblog You would love it. I really should have done a follow-up recording as i was proved very wrong regarding the ration of christians to non-christians. I think there were only 50-60% practicing christians at the meet and the conversation covered all kind of great philosophical topics.
omaniblogI feel like joining that group of your village elders.
Jo.ChocolateThe parade is a fun thing to do at least once. I have been - when I was young and joined a group staying up all night on Main Street. I don't think you'll ever figure out what is open when on Pioneer Day because I find it changes a little every year.
michelleWell, the most annoying thing about Pioneer Day was just I couldn't figure out what was open when. Not really that big of a deal since I had nothing else going on, but I was just struck with many moments of "Doh!" I haven't been here long enough to see anything celebratory (except residual fireworks) but I'd like to see a parade just once. Kinda interesting as an outsider, both as a non-LDS, and from someone who's not from the area (and hasn't lived here that long).
And yeah, I'm having the culture shock in terms of the conservative-ism, having come here from New York. Oy!
Jo.ChocolateI'm LDS, but agree with most everything you said. I don't give a darn about the parade and the most annoying thing about this state is how conservative it is. A little conservative is good, this extreme, not so great.
otackeIn der Physik gibt es in der Tat verschiedene Theorien, die Nichtwahrnehmbares zulassen. Zum einen gäbe es die bekannte Tatsache, dass wir nur drei "große" Raumdimensionen und zusätzlich die Zeit wahrnehmen. Es kann aber auch noch mehrere andere "kleine Dimensionen" geben, die wir nicht wahrnehmen können. Außerdem ermöglicht das Pfadintegral von Feynman auch die Vorstellung, dass mehrere Universen (auch mit ganz anderen Naturgesetzen) neben unserem bestehen können. Nachzulesen im Klassiker "Eine kurze Geschichte der Zeit" von Stephen Hawking oder ganz frisch auch in "Der große Entwurf".
