Just a question...I've been utilizing gravity as a scapegoat, but does the universe deserve some of the blame for my waistline?
Hi,
No, this is certainly a genuine phenomenon. In fact there is a local gravity "hotspot" very near to me.

Just a question...I've been utilizing gravity as a scapegoat, but does the universe deserve some of the blame for my waistline?
Mayonaise is delicious, while "salad dressing" (aka "Miracle Whip") is gross and disgusting. Consuming "salad dressing" (yuck!) will destroy your sense of taste, and you will no longer be able to recognize what tastes good and what tastes bad. (Sort of like a mad radical drunken on propaganda.)A couple of questions oh wise and mercurial seers of the web:
What's the diff between mayonnaise and salad dressing, and do they both possess cosmic attributes ? If so are you in trouble if you consume a bit of each and do not consistently use one more than the other ?
There is no edge to the jar. (Actually, it's not a jar, it's a bottle--a Klein Bottle, to be more descriptive) There is neither an inside, nor an outside to this jar, either. (It's related to the Möbius strip.)Anyway... The Universe will grow forever? Impossible... What happens when it gets to the edge of the jar?

No, that does not make you disgusting. (Salad dressing being disgusting is a purely subjective call on my part. Opinions may vary regarding mayo vs Miracle Whip.)Seattle:
I'm sorry to tell you this but I prefer the "disgusting" salad dressing for sandwiches and such. It's got a little more zip and just tastes better to me. Commercial mayonnaise has a greasy aftertaste to me and doesn't seem to "add" much to my sandwiches.
HOWEVER, I make my own mayonnaise from scratch (not too difficult) when I want to make a killer potato salad. But that's just too much work for my sandwich needs. Does that make me disgusting ? Let's see... if A is B, and B is C, then A is C? Naaaah not in this case.
Kewl! It sounds like a book I should put on my wish list!As far as the universe structural thing goes, I've heard and read about the Klein bottle model , but I've also heard and read good arguments for the "torus" (donut) model. An excellent book I'm reading now makes an argument for an arrangement of membranes assembled into some sort of "bulk" of light and dark matter and energy.
The author, Lisa Randall is a high energy physicist and mathematician at Harvard, and looks enough like Jodie Foster to be her twin. The book is titled, Warped Passages. I'm a little more than halfway through and I'm pretty impressed with her ability to explain very complex things in everyday language. She's at the forefront of those who believe that they will soon be able to unite the force of gravity with the other three basic forces already well known and explained.
It seems that the Large Hadron Collider at CERN which will come on line in a year or two will likely enable further exploration of this subject matter...or as I call it "more and more about less and less". And it seems from what has been discovered over the past ten years or so that the universe at least "appears" to have an inside part and an outside part, as far as our perspectives are concerned. Think of the outside as the past, and the inside as the future.

You know, I think we've already uncovered the fallacy of this thinking here, in The Rush to be Right thread.Seattle:

I will acquiesce to your personal experience.I beg to differ lady... :\ I've been "out there" I've seen the edge of the hellmans jar....
