May cause discomfort if taken too seriously...

This thread reminded me of an old grade school joke..

This thread reminded me of an old grade school joke..

Bobby comes running in from recess on the schoolyard, yelling "Teacher, Teacher, Johnny fell out of a tree on his ass". The teacher corrected Bobby, by saying, "Bobby, I think you must mean on his Rectum". Bobby retorts, "Rectum, Hell.... dam near killed him!"

Sorry, but you guys lost me at Rectumlinear.
 
Trompe L'oeil

p.s. Einstein said space is curved. Now explain what happens to straight lines in that context.

Draw a straight line on a piece of graph paper, then bend the paper in a "U" shape. That's curved space. The line is still straight with reference to the paper dimension but curved outside of the papers frame of reference. It all depends on where you're standing and how you're seeing ;)

OK, so ... where's the Higgs boson then?
 
It all depends on how a certain lens renders it's subject. Therefore we have the concept of becoming a gear thread.;)
 
... well personally I think it's down the back of the sofa cushions with that flash adaptor I've been looking for ...
 
Einstein implied that everything isn't what it seems. But then Freud said, 'yes, but it all makes you horny.' My feeling is that here and now is rectilinear. As seen with a camera obscura.
