Dear auntb - Nice Answer. … As for the acid business - I'm afraid I was BORN with quite a NATURAL high and a chronic "headache" as it is [I’m just trying to have fun with my defected genes]. :-)

Answer 1

I think sometimes it can. The March Hare had his sentence first, and then his crime. Consider the "explanation" for our traditional image of the Devil in Arthur C. Clarke's "Childhood's End." It is quite possible that what we can do in imagination, we can learn to do in reality.

Do we in fact live in a multi-dimensional world where time is just another dimension, and we can learn to go forward and backward? Can event precede cause? I think in terms of the paradox of seeing what's coming and changing your pathway to avoid it. Was the cause of your change the future (predicted) result of your path, or the present prediction of the future possibility?

You can make your head hurt if you do too much with this sort of thing. And I was a philosophy major in college. Not to mention all the acid I took when I was young!

Answer 2

Hmm… I didn’t think anything could improve that song, but the video, truly, is the finest bit of hilarity I’ve seen in quite a long time. I think donning a costume and harassing strangers on the street should be a recognized form of therapy. The vicarious experience alone was enough to cure *my* headache. I’m serious. I may write an Oprah-worthy book on the topic.

And isn’t it cute how the little people think they can just edge past Time? You gotta love Chicago. Last time I was there, I saw Albert Einstein standing on LaSalle Blvd, eating some Garrett's popcorn…

Answer 3

Thanks for the very cool video I'd never seen before.
I think it multi-dimensional in the sense that connections in the brain that were dormant for a time, suddenly act to create the sense of connection from some past event. A single event may travel through the gap between neurons in the brain through ions in a synaptic jump to be stored. Later, there may be a rush of several unrelated ionic "leaps" that create new synaptic connections which were not related to the original event.
