Wiki Wandering

You soothe my soul and I stop searching. When I get lost in the rhythm everything stops hurting.- Sophie B. Hawkins, Don't Stop Swaying

Here's a little sampling of my day. It started when I was double checking the spelling of the word mediocrity via Google. Looking down the list of results I noticed mediocrity principle, which I never had heard of before. So I check it out. I dig it and notice that at the bottom is a link to the anthropic principle . Honestly, its interesting, but I don't think I completely understand it. So I make a mental note to check into it more, even though the creationists have co-oped part of it of their official "Agenda of Ignorance". Anyway, all of this reminds me of a book I read a few years back called The Holographic Universe so I check it out on wiki as well. It redirects me to a page called holographic paradigm . Now, while I won't go on record as saying I believe this theory, I will say that's fantastically fun to read. Anyway, holographic paradigm has a link to The Universe as a Hologram, a quick web article by the author of the book. The same page had an article on titled The Biophotonic Quantum Holographic Matrix in which I find a reference to Ganesh Particles which I had also never heard of before. With good reason, as another Google search takes me to Dan Burisch & The Ganesh Particle: A Blockbuster and I complete my journey from hard science, to loony science. (Because I doubt anyone will check at that last link, or any of them for that matter, the last website talks about 2 powerful clandestine conspiracies, 3 alien races, an extinction level event, and a cure for aging).
