Comments on: Too Mellow to Die http://metaphorager.net/too-mellow-to-die/ All That's News To Me, I Print Thu, 29 Sep 2011 14:49:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ransom http://metaphorager.net/too-mellow-to-die/#comment-5 Ransom Sat, 19 Jul 2008 21:42:17 +0000 http://metaphorager.net/test/?p=188#comment-5 Age is weird. I mean not as weird as being alive, which seems too weird for much consideration, but having time pass and then to appear at a given age where, years before, there was some notion that this age meant "adulthood" or "old-man-hood" or whatever. The weird comes from being stranded with the reality that this ain't much different than "childhood." This means that time must necessarily also be weird, which brings me within spittin' distance of the point. The geometry of time is symmetric to that of energy in our universe (c.f. Noether's thorem, gauge theory etc) and what Neal experienced, whether aware or not, was the injection of a bolt of energy so that the time he could experience would be extended. As my longest standing friend, it kinda freaks me out, but from the perspective that this is all just so weird anyway, I dunno. It's just weird, right? And that's the point. Not real sharp, is it?
