You are traveling down the road in a car and you see cars way ahead of you getting smaller and smaller due to perspective.

This is the best new analogy for the Great Einstein Fallacy and for the popular concept of an ever expanding universe. The road seems to get smaller and narrower as it approaches the horizon. So traveling down that road , thinking the way Einstein did about relativity as a frames of reference problem if you are in a car heading down that road your car will get smaller and smaller and smaller to further it goes. This is the exact same extrapolation Einstein does to advance to a black hole that consumes everything including the entire light spectrum. When you revisit Einstein's theory then think of it more like an Escher drawing. If perspective is a frame of reference then perhaps it is true that cars get smaller and smaller as the road does as it approaches the horizon. No kidding.

Best Kept Secret Park in Lake Oswego

Best Kept Secret Park in Lake Oswego Great for Bike Riders, Walking and Running with Scenic River Views Lex Loeb Contributor Network . Lake Oswego does not like to advertise some of its best attractions for fear of attracting non-locals. The area has many interesting treasures almost no one from the Portland area bothers to explore. Lake Oswego has long had the cache' of an upper middle class white Anglo Saxon enclave that does not want the company of everyone from the Portland Metro Area coming in.

Along most of Old River drive the fro

Vines are the Most Intelligent of Plants.

Ever seen Boston Ivy covering the walls at Ivy League colleges? That could make them the most intelligent of plants. Vines train themselves to cover territories and structures. They don't just grow toward the sun they find their way to spread their leaves with trial and error until they cover wide areas that satisfy their demands for light and exposure. Some have tendrils that find a way to spiral around things to rise off the ground and follow the pathways they can take advantage of. If i was designing an artificial intelligence app or algorithm I would think about vines and how they deal with their environmental factors. Most plants do also have this ability to grow with a kind of logic, especially the roots which will grow to seek water and nutrients. Some tropical plants have ariel roots that can seem intelligent too in finding sources of water and nutrients and taking advantage at a considerable distance. If one root becomes disconnected these plants can send out a ne
