Default The time continuum

Duration is infinitely divisable. This is Zeno applied to time. What
you think of as Planck time is infinitely divisable. Anything that is
not infinitely small is infinitely divisable.

Hey ****ing stooopid: sqrt[hG/2(pi)c^3]

Dunning-Kruger effect (2000 Ig Nobel Prize): ignorance more
frequently begets confidence than does knowledge

1) Incompetent individuals tend to overestimate their own level of
skill.
2) Incompetent individuals fail to recognize genuine skill in
others.
3) Incompetent individuals fail to recognize the extremity of their
inadequacy.

The best we can do is an atomic clock.
