In what way is this prophecy "scientific"? Do you mean it's a prophecy
about science, or that it's based on science. I'd agree with the
former, but not with the latter - it seems to be based on the writings
of Robert Rankin more than anything. In fact it bears a striking
similarity to some of the ideas found in "The Sprouts Of Wrath" and
similar novels. Are you sure you're not him in disguise?



I do not know the genesis of the other posts, but my post (tomcat) is
based -- to a high degree -- on science.

Immanuel Kant, in his Critique of Pure Reason, pretty much showed that
space and time are forms of intuition, not in reality itself. In
short, my post is based on formal metaphysics in the discipline of
philosophy.

If what I say seems to picture a rathr dry universe, let me assure you
that it is mere analysis of the condition of our experiencing the
universe, not an alteration of it. The universe is just a beautiful as
before.

In fact, I regard the universe as an incredible creation, one that I
enjoy, others enjoy, and one that will become more enjoyable all the
time if we improve our values along with our science.
