i spent some considerable amount of this weekend trying to decide whether, if space and time were infinitely divisible, fully complex universes could form, evolve, and be destroyed in one cycle of a vibrating guitar string.i made up a hand wavey explanation that they could not basically because the speed of light is absolute so that i could sleep*. and now the most interesting question i have is whether you can cook rice in a thermos.
*Roger says Heidegger handles the problem more elegantly by saying "Who cares?"

No! Heidegger handles a similar problem with an answer that can be boiled down to who cares and a hand wave
Roger
seriously though, rice in a thermos, it might be a brilliant idea (boil water, put in thermos, go do something else for an hour)
