Yes, "how big is your yardstick?"
Imagine this, "I am now holding out a "yardstick" three-feet long--on an
atom of the plastic, in the keyboard I am typing on, and, on an electron of
that atom and circling its nucleus, is my counterpart, holding out his
"yardstick"--which he believes is three-feet long...
or, wait, is that my male ego just saying, "Mine is bigger than
yours--Na-na-na-Na!" grin

Warmest regards,
John

| ==============================
|
| Life forms which think can have any number of dimensions.
| Physical size is unrestricted. From quantum size upwards.
|
| They are as fully equipped to handle their environments as humans are
| equipped to handle theirs. Otherwise they wouldn't be there.
|
| There's no reason why thinking life forms should not be as large as
| the Galaxies or even Groups of Galaxies.
|
| Groups of Galaxies have more than one head. Inevitably they are
| exceedingly slow thinkers when measured in our time scales.
|
| On the other hand, they have the Whole of Eternity in which to solve
| their problems, dragging us puny insignificant creatures along with
| them for one short microscopic period.
|
| As experienced on this tiny Earth, they appear to be suffering from
| epileptic fits at this moment in time.
|
| Elementary Statistics should be the 4th most important subject taught
| in our schools after reading, writing and doing sums.
|
| Kids should be able to estimate the probabilty of being run over by a
| bus when they cross a busy street.
|
| Hope you get the drift of my thoughts before returning to the TLI.
