    First, I understand what you mean by infinatelly small, but although it does enter in correct language talk, and correct scientifical language, it is still paradoxicall, bu never mind.

    Second, what is your TOE?

    Third, your signature is terribly wrong....Sorry for telling, but someone had to (lol!).

    First, never tell me to never mind a paradox, if indeed there is a paradox.

    Second, I'm not sure what you mean by "my" TOE. I know "the" TOE if that's what you mean, but I always thought it belonged to... someone, not me, or maybe it doesn't belong to anybody, but it's not really mine at any rate. Maybe I could claim it, but I don't. I merely thought of it comrade.

    Third, thank you for bringing up the sig, I'm glad that you actually thought about it. Actually it is not wrong, begging your pardon, but terribly right you might say. Allow me to explain. Part of being alive is being free. No matter what the government tells you you are free. This is to say that nobody really controls you. So you never really HAVE to do anything unless of course you WANT to. Therefore having to do something is wanting to do it. If you DON'T want to, than you don't HAVE to. You can look at this simply or you can look at it complexly.

    If you look at it complexly you may wonder which signifies the other, wanting to or having to. Generally you think that if you don't want to you don't have to, so if you have to it's only because you want to, but if you want to does that really mean that you had to? You may begin to think that everything you wanted to do was really what you had to do. Maybe that's what destiny is??

    But actually why I wrote it is because I thought, "My God, I HAVE to release the TOE, I was chosen apparently to be the one so now I HAVE to live up to what I've lucked, or fallen, into, depending on your outlook. But really I don't have to cuz who's gonna make me? But it's what I really want to do, and I wouldn't rationally want anything else, so maybe I DO have to. To avoid this confusing complexification I decided to decide that having to is wanting to, hence the signature.

    Another, just one other, of the things I have discovered, is that confidence and hope are the same thing. Can you rationalize?

    So I'm 100% confident, i.e. certain, that I know about everything. But you'd think I'd hope that that was true wouldn't you? Just because I'm confident doesn't mean I can't hope, and just because I hope doesn't mean I can't be confident. In fact, in order to be fully confident you must by definition fully hope, and visa versa. So really they must be the same thing. Language is a strange thing, and I'm constantly trying to interpret it to see new connections. There's a lot of hidden meaning in language that we don't really see, but if we want to be intelligent, we might want to start looking.
    Which brings me to my next signature I must cycle (or perhaps I want to).

    Intelligence is a state of mind.
