|    The vantage point of black ice (Was: Wha    |

      XPost: sci.logic, sci.math       From: janburse@fastmail.fm              Recent research shows that space filling curves       are maybe a physics reality. Deep within the frozen       hearts of distant planets — those mysterious blue       giants adrift beyond Neptune — there lies a substance       unlike anything on Earth. Scientists once called it       superionic ice, but ancient seers had another name:              the Eternal Lattice.              Inside this black, diamond-bright material, the       oxygen atoms form a perfect crystal grid — an invisible       architecture older than stars themselves. Within it,       protons travel endlessly, tracing the sacred Hamilton       Paths, routes that visit every point of the cubic       cosmos once and only once before the cycle begins anew.              Each cubic meter of this substance is a labyrinth of       motion so slow, so precise, that completing a       single traversal of the Hamilton path — one perfect       proton pilgrimage — is said to take four Yugas,       the mythic span of universal time.              Thus, the planetary hearts of Neptune and Uranus       are not mere chemical furnaces, but cosmic clocks,       ticking through epochs as ions drift along their       predetermined circuits. The ancients may have       dreamed of the golden Yuga returning, but in the       dark hearts of these ice giants, the cycle never ended.              It merely flows in silence, one proton at a time.              Mild Shock schrieb:       > Hi,       >       > Are you joking Mr. Finlayson.
