I'm betting on another dimension that obviates the need to traverse space — but I'm no expert.

Don't start hoarding your pennies yet, it will be "several millenia" before this hits production.

Yeah, black magic. Thanks, Arjan (and thnks also for the link-love).

And here I thought spooky action was limited to the ghosts in my house. ;p
You have ghosts, Joseph?
Yes, this house particularly has been visited by a few local ones.
Warren County, I have heard, aside from being the Nursery Capital of the World is also supposed to be America’s most haunted county.
Any common threads — War Between the States, perhaps?
I remember wading through the weeds at the old family cemetery where I grew up. There was a whole line of siblings who died within a few months of each other from some sort of fever back in the 1850′s. Then there was another line of brothers that all died together in the war that followed in the next decade. The mother who survived all of them lived in the house that still stands across the road from the cemetery. I’ve often wondered if she haunts that place, but I’ve never heard of any sightings.
not that I’m aware of. One’s of a little girl that haunts a paved road in town, the one by me might be an innocent who was hung with his brothers.
The one out by me actually passed through my solar plexus(sp). I’ve not actually seen them, just felt them.
Wow, what did that experience feel like?
It was scary, to be honest. It was as if this knot of negative energy had sat on, and then moved through, my chest.
I love quantum strangeness. It makes me feel better when super smart people can’t understand things either.
I think, teeni, that the effort and discipline expended on studying a subject, combined with a certain amount of intuition, lead to more understanding than native intelligence does.
I haven’t spent enough time on understanding quantum mechanics, and much of it seems counter-intuitive to me. It’s a good subject for keeping me humble.
Neat stuff!
If you look at my blog for June 2007, you will also find an explanation of how the TARDIS works, warping its way through 4D space-time
The URI is

I remember when you first posted that one, Stu. Fascinating idea.
That’s pretty darn cool write up.
Um, do you really believe that stuff is possible? Granted, I believe in ghosts so your explanation of how the Tardis works is no less believable by that standard, just curious is all.
Cum granis salis tenemus
Sodium chloride is bad for my blood pressure, so just a small “granis” for me.
