"The universe cannot be governed by chance alone" - EINSTEIN

SHOOT: The universe isn't governed only by chance, but by chance and random order. Random order over time can be constructive. Time in a disordered state can, at times, create sufficiently ordered states, of matter, of space and time, to resemble something inexplicable. So it is not chance alone. The temptation is to blame God. No, it is merely the size of everything in relation to us that evolves, and this evolution is not linear. It is not a beginning, middle and end, but a series of overlapping and parallel beginnings, ends and middles. This relativity is hard for us to fathom, even to imagine. But is it better to live in a universe beyond our faculties, or one that we can penetrate with our impenetrable faculties? Humility, and mystery, seems to me to be vital to keep in check human ego and arrogance.

clipped from www.geocities.com Albert Einstein was born 1879 in Ulm. After graduation in 1900 he worked as a patent clerk in Bern, conducting research in physics in his spare time. In 1905 he published five papers that transformed the course of physics and established his reputation as one of the foremost scientists of his age. Einstein died in 1955. He is best known for the theory of relativity, which states that time, mass and length all change according to velocity. Space and time are a unified continuum, which curves in the presence of mass. Einstein always said that he was a deeply religious man, and his religion informed his science. He rejected the conventional image of God as a personal being, concerned about our individual lives, judging us when we die, intervening in the laws he himself had created to cause miracles, answer prayers and so on. Einstein did not believe in a soul separate from the body, nor in an afterlife of any kind.

Cold Cactus

How do I feel? I feel like a cold cactus. Prickly and exposed to the cold dry, desert wind. My throat feels like it's been scraped by a cactus.

I've just returned from lunch at my dad. Ludick builder's has apparently gone bankrupt. They erected the very first townhouse complex in Bloemfontein, my dad produced the second.

My father says that Einstein predicted that if all bees in the world died, the End of the World would occur 4 years later - due to starvation (plants not being able to reproduce). See:

Now huge bee populations are dying in the USA. Some theories are that it is due to cell phone signals, or pollution, or climate change.

Bought nails, paint and an easel for the exhibition. Just add R360 to the growing Expense Account. On the other hand, two people have already selected prints they intend to buy.

Now to work, and at 6pm, will begin setting the scene at the studio.
