Okay, substituting 'Model' for 'Recreate' in the title would be a little more accurate -- and not as alarming. Otherwise, pretty cool!

Make up any crazy story on the Big End and who’s to prove you wrong?

Igor Smolyaninov is a Principal Electronic Engineer at BAE Systems. He received his Ph.D. from the Kapitza Institute for Physical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He has published 6 review articles and more than 80 journal papers in various areas of nanophotonics, low temperature physics, and optical wireless communication.
I've met some of the folks who work to make sure Igor and his cohorts in Moscow didn't "go over" to Iran or others. There are patriots out there watching after us night and day and you just wouldn't believe who they are.

Tell me more!
No, don’t! I’d love to know. I just don’t want anyone else to know. Not to mention, you’d have to kill me if I did...

Not me, of course, but I do know Ken Abelikov ~ and we have mutual friends.
There's a cluster of these guys in the Virginia Suburbs.

They will be able to observe the end of time in person on Dec. 20th of 2012—if we are to believe the ancient Mayans.
Personally, I think they were off by about a month. If Obama is re-elected and takes office on Jan. 20th ....

From the point of view of a photon, or anything else that travels at light speed, time never existed anyway. At least according to Relativity theory.

I use that quantum foam when I’m shaving and I admit to a little time disorientation afterwards but I attributed that to the alcohol in the aftershave. I’m going to have to quit sampling it after splashing it on me I guess.

Can anybody actually read this? And understand it? Sounds like goobledy-gook.

So now we find what/who God really is/was. Just a bunch of humanoids who found but not realized that electrons can wipe out time or expand space.

Makes them feel intellectually superior I guess. Smart educators explain it so that practically anyone could understand it, or at least have some general idea. This author is terrible, as are a good number of university professors.

The English is pretty much perfectly written. It's just that the subject matter is out of most peoples' frames of reference. The goobledygook-ness is a reflection back to those of us outside this field of what we don't know about the subject.
Various people in different times have complained about how difficult certain subjects like chemistry and physics are and that those working in those fields need to simply things for the average reader. The problem is that, given the complexity of the field, those impenetrable texts already represent the simplest way of dealing with the subject matter.

Time. An interesting concept. The Universe is supposedly 14-15 Billion years old, yet may last for trillions of years. Strangely enough we only last 100 years. Some particles only last for a millionth of a second. So exactly what is the point of creating human beings who are NOT going to last for the next million years let alone the next 100,000 years? Our existence is pointless.
