According to one of my congregants, who is a well respected theoretical physicist, there is considerable evidence (based on the thermodymics of black holes) that the universe is indeed two dimensional, with the third dimension serving merely as an illusion. This is known as the holographic principle, and plays an important role in many formulations of string theory. I wouldn't dismiss the Biblical view of a 2D universe as silly when many of the world's top physicists consider it to be a very real possibility. |
Considering your’ location Starkinggrad that parishioner of yours' most likely works for Lawrence Livermore National Lab on nuclear weapons. I am curious why you would even allow a man like that in your precious Berkley Unitarian Church? If I recall correctly his job is against the law there, Berkeley being a nuclear free zone and all that (that issue came up when I was transporting a bottle of Thoruim for our mission their San Fransisco. Had a bit of a nasty time of it with a Alameda County Sheriff's Deputy)
