Since Naomi will not give me the ****ing key I have decided to follow Jesus and be a Christian just like Theland. I am ashamed of my past history here so I'm going to devote the time I used to spend on ab to reading the Bible. No question really because I no longer care about what people think. I'll get all my answers from God from now on thank you.

For example, for a string to vibrate requires that that the string is anchored at either end and exists in a state of tension. So how could this condition be brough about at the sub atomic particle level?
Also, string indicates an object that is longer than it is wide, and this implies not a fundamental particle, but a structure composed of something even more fundamental.
If it is legitimate for scientists to speculate, then it must also be legitimate for me to speculate also, and this I will do.

You see, the Bible claims that God not only created the universe, but sustains it. That is, its very existence is dependent, moment by moment on the one true living God, without whom the universe would cease to exist.
So, speculating still, how could this be done?
I do not know, but I believe that at the most fundamental level of material structure, there is, and maybe one day will be discovered, an interface between physics and the spiritual dimension, wherein God exists.
The strings, if such things exist, are anchored by the hand of God, and vibrate to give the characteristics of other particles, by the intervention of God.
It is amazing is it not, that even with our supercomputers, atom smashers and hadron colliders, we are no closer to understanding the true nature of matter than the alchemists of old.

And ...... since stopping smoking, I am making a determined effort to lose weight, not put it on by nibbling. I need some encouragement, but the fancy bathroom scales are letting me down.
Four consecutive, "weigh ins," gave me the following results:-
13st 8lb - 13st 10lb - 13st 9lb - 13st 9lb.
Each pound is important to keep me going and boost my morale, and these variations are not giving me the encouragement I so desperately need.
So there you are.

String Theory
I don't really know enough about this to comment really and alas, don't have time to have a quick read up so I can properly comment.
Something you said about physics and religion I found interesting, (especially as there is an argument that physics is the new religion but I digress agaiin). It has long been my belief that I'm the only true athiest (yes Mibs and Naomi, I'm including you) on here believing In neither a God, aliens (actually I do believe in those but not the same way as Naomi and will someone please remind me that I wanted to ask Naomi about that please?) or that a quest for knowledge (it is your religion in a way Mibs) will ultimatley give people the answers they really want. All They do is add more questions and have you ever searching for a divine answer, in the skys, in books, in particles, anything.
I believe in no devine answers, no reason, no mystery, I never ask the meaning of life or why I'm here (it'sabout the only question starting with why I don't ask). I have no fear that the onloy reason I'm here is because the reason we all live is to propagate the species. End of, there's no big mystery and we're all just instinct. We can accomplish amazing things and live wonderful lives and absorb every good and bad thing that happens to us and examin the reasons for it until we make peace for ourselves. But ultimately, we're here because instinct makes it so. (And in my case, a calculated risk (her words) on my mothers part).
Weigh In's
You should only be doing them once a week at the same time on the same day m'dear. Anything else will make you feal defeated. Smoking has an effect on our metabolisms and as such you'll have to wait a sufficient period (no idea how long but someone in B&S may know) for that to stablize. That's one of the reasons people put on weight after they've stopped smoking, not just eating because they need something

As to watching the weight. While you're stopping it's probably best to go easy on the wine and foods you know are bad for you for a month or two and just stick to your five a day, chicken and fish and lots of water, (helps with the cravings too). Keep riding the bike too.
As encouragement, why don't you do what I say about the weekly weigh ins and tell us how you're going. Sort of like an inexpensive, surreal weight watchers experience!

I was up at approx 4am this morning, came on here to talk to myself, and the bloody post did not appear, then AB itself was unattainable, for me at least for about an hour.
So what I hear you say?
I guess you and Mibs had a decent Saturday night out on the town seeing as you were both too busy to post on here last night. Good luck to you both.

Mibs, is your paranoia so intense and severe that you will not tell us anything about yourself?
Age? Married / single / kids / what line of work you in / what part of country you live in / or what country you live in / or what planet you live on / hobbies / friends / and most important of all, just how old are you. As you know, I am fifty seven, but I don't feel it, more like ninety seven!

I have my foo fighter tickets!!! Very excited.
I was indeed out last night. I was meetiing up with my mate from Guildford who was bringing my tickets up and a couple of girlfriends he wanted to meet, (he wanted to meet people who've known me years, God knows why but it seeme like a good opportunity to get some people together). Anyway, a fun night was had by all as far as I'm aware and we did crash the party down below a little bit but they weren't dancing so it was deserved. And we were sort of invited. Anyway, I'm now in need of something fried with bread and butter... and possibly baked beans.... so I'm going to go to the cafe as I don't fancy washing up or the smell in the house.

Congratulations on being in receipt of your FF tickets, and also for getting a little wrecked last night.
I've had porridge made with water, and you're telling me about a scrumptious fry up with extra cholestrol and beans.
My mouth is watering at the thought of it.
I was invited to attend a Pentecostal church this morning, but couldn't go as my frequent fits of coughing would have been embarassing for me, so the good lady is going without me.

Theland, More than a billion seconds have elapsed since the moment I took my first breath. Of what relevance is that? You yourself have pointed out the disparity between the numeration of the Earth�s revolutions of the Sun and that which really counts, the way you feel.
I will for the sake of argument provide you with one hint. I am no longer to be trusted! So what else is new? It is not your trust that I seek. It is confidence in your own ability and your steadfast desire to gain an understanding of when, why and in whom you should trust that I am endeavoring to encourage. Those who have achieved wisdom are mutual beneficiaries of each others wisdom. This is the prize I aim to win, a gift of inestimably greater value than agreement just for the sake of being agreeable, made even more so by those who share an appreciation for and consequently the desire to realise its worth.
It is not the state of your physicality that enflames my interest. Nor is it my intent to delude your spirit. It is the sparkling brilliance of a mind engaged in the process of rational thought that leads me to wander here in the hopes of glimpsing that most rare and marvelous of gems that are to be found shining in the most unlikely corners of this vast dark and otherwise meaningless universe.

Miraculous feats of mental genius are not a minimum requirement of my approbation. I bestow no less admiration to anyone with the courage to set aside self-doubt in pursuit of realising any remnant of their human potential that has survived the onslaughts of those who have given up on any chance of realising their own.
I place no demands on anyone to join me in my quest to reach for and realise what is possible to those who have been able to retain or recapture their childlike curiosity and fearless pursuit of joy that is humanities birthright. It is only those whose intent is to erect roadblocks that are not inherent in the landscape of reality that I condemn with the ultimate crime against humanity who should fear the wrath of inhibiting my progress. Reality and those who value their life, freedom and mind are on my side.
If you wish to entertain the belief that paranoia is the only justification for my refusal to reveal the triviality of my age (or how old I am) or my awareness of the concerted attack against humanities means of maintaining the will to live as humans should and must, that is your choice. It is the best interest of humankind that is at stake and the value you find in your own existence that stands to suffer from such beliefs.
Regardless of your conclusions, Theland, your questions and consideration are, as evidenced by the time and care with which I responded, appreciated. And thank you for your patience. My mind does not invariably respond on demand either. It is a significant investment of my time to provide answers I hope you will find meaningful.

China, Whether you, I or anyone else is here as the outcome of a �calculated� or mis-�calculated risk�, I find equally as irrelevant as my age is to my primary goal in life; to rescue my own (and if possible others) world view from the ravages of reckless, damaging, unfounded and unsupportable beliefs. If, as I was told from the time I first grasp a rudimentary understanding of the meanings of words, my life was not my own to live, I found it imperative to know why. This has proven to be, far from trivial, essential knowledge to my development as well as requisite to sustaining my will to live.
While, for the most part, it is pure chance that you were born into a world where so much of what makes your life a venture that you are able to take for granted graced your existence, there are many vitally crucial reasons for which the world you we born into is vastly better, albeit far from ideal, than that of so many if not most other people in the world. While it may be easy for some of us to ignore the source and value of the contributions that have made our particular lives at worst tolerable and at times quite pleasant, I have not allowed myself to indulge in that luxury without recognizing and paying my respects to the centuries of struggle and pursuit of ideals that have afforded me so.
No, I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth but I have ask myself what it would be like to have no knowledge of what a spoon is or no choice of what to put in it. In finding the answers to questions such as these I have without question arrived at a much greater appreciation for the things I do have and a much greater respect for where they came from than I would from simply accepting what I had been told, that I owe my good fortune to the belief in the random favor of an all powerful master of reality and that the effort to understand and gain the knowledge required to manifest the reality I observe in my corner of the world is irrelevant.
