Draft of Part 8 prepared back on September 1st, 2003 in a 8 part series sent to Diana Henriques of The New York Times

 

....The following is a script an insurance salesperson targeting their “downline” would say:

 

I have been thinking 4 sum time now how it is possible that someone like Warren “BO” Buffet made it so rich in such a short period of time and he doesn’t seem, at least to me, by studying his physiognomy to be all that bright and what I have found out about how he does business makes me want to take another look in the mirror and see if I could given the fact that I am very probably better looking than he, i.e. better luck with the [“chicks” if u r a guy the “guys” if u r a woman] certainly I am far better looking than The Gevisser-Pisser with his ugly “duck” looks, maybe I still have the time to pick up, a thing or to about how to get richer quicker than this bullshit artist given my ability to make friends and influence people altho The Pisser doesn’t subscribe to the Dale Carnegie Charm School but nevertheless there is only so much I can read of The Pisser’s emails in a given day and besides he maintains that it is a good thing to live each day as tho it were your last and so after brushing my teeth, taking a crap, feeding the dogs and cats I still would need to get in a couple of hours surfing and then of course there is the TV and maybe today is that day that an anchorwoman like Kimberley Hunt may have the courage to allow The Pisser to show her a way out of the hole she has dug 4 herself and so today I have decided to stay home and tomorrow is another day, i.e. who has the time for all this, altho u should remember that it was Pythagoras’, “This + this = that” that “started the ball rolling”, nothing quite like being hit over the head by a ball breaker, agree?

 

Now if u r interested in wanting to know more about my reasoning 4 seeing if it is possible 4 u and I and the rest of our downlines to die the richest in the grave let me explain to u how I think I can do a better job than Warren “BO” Buffet.

 

First I would call up all my friends and relatives and ask them if they would like to pool all their insurance with me, home, automobile, life, etcetera etcetera and then I would say to them all to get on the phone and do the same thing to everyone they know and according to The Pisser in less than a week I could have every single person on the planet signed up with me 4 all their insurance needs which would mean that coming out of the starting gates I don’t have to pay any commissions perhaps just a nominal amount say 5% as opposed to the standard 15% paid to insurance agents and have my “down line” share with their “down line” how much if any of their commission they feel is necessary remembering in just a matter of one week we would have every human being on the planet signed up.

 

Furthermore we wouldn’t have the need 4 butt a handful of attorneys like Jeffrey R. Krinsk Esq. battle tested in the area of SCAL warfare to take on any other attorney who would dare to go to war with us because I would be setting up a charitable trust where the bulk of the profits would be shared with all the insureds according to how each one fares on a “risk assessment” index that takes into account how much premium they have paid in versus any claims all the information available in “real time” including neighbor watching neighbor who may be thinking off another scam still hooked into believing that not only is lying, stealing and cheating no big deal in what we end up the next go around but who other than the next generation picks up the tab on all the larceny, and naturally the amount of fraudulent claims would drop precipitously given the fact that there wouldn’t be what is termed in the industry “adverse selection” in other words we would be starting to implement universal insurance coverage envisioned by that idiot-home wrecking team made up of Bill “Wallpaper” Clinton and his equally pathetic wife whose claim to fame so far has been her ability to capitalize on the sexual misconduct of her husband.

 

As u would know from reading sum of The Pisser’s material even the most pathological such as The Clintons “sumtimes” [sic] tell the truth and so it should come as no surprise that the notion of “It takes a village to raise a child” is not only true but fits in exactly with the Gevisser-Pisser’s plan to the die the richest person to-get-her with me in the world.

 

So given the handle we and The Pisser and his clones would have on the underwriting side, very low commissions, little or no fraud, no attorneys worth their salt willing to mess with The Pisser’s “hand picked” attorney with wife Campbell “Hen” Soup in support arranging bloc-buster.com parties on each and every neighborhood block having the kids with centered parents, i.e. not wanting them to grow up to be diks taking “stained” t-shirts, converting them into works-on-art and then auctioning them off to the highest bidder with a little assistance from GrubbyGrub and GirlieGarb.com, the proceeds going to help raise funds 4 our public schools, blah blah, all that is left is what to do with all the profit we would make which if u recall, assuming u are not suffering from the side effects of Aspartame, has already been covered.

 

So then u may ask, “How in G-D’s Name” do u hope to beat out the competition remembering that “sumone” [sic] like Warren “BO” Buffet is worth sum zillion dollars and then sum and besides whenever he feels down on his luck he calls up whoever is in the White House and says, ‘send me a check’?

 

Now of course that isn’t exactly how it works so let me now explain to u my competitive edge and it has everything to do with reputation and who is telling the truth the same as proof which comes down to evidence, the better the evidence the better the proof, agree?

 

For starters would u agree that Mr. Buffet has higher costs of doing business, that the salaries and commissions he pays his people to bother u at ungodly hours of the night cost more than 5%?

 

Good. [Be4 moving on make sure u give the person u r speaking with enough time to respond and if necessary repeat the question verbatim and this time try changing the tone and of course u do not want to be using a cell phone in the water altho I c nothing wrong in u taking a bath but I don’t advise u be out in the surf unless of course u c this as a good way to get sum business networking going and who knows u may even run into Warren ‘Bo’ Buffet but it is unlikely this very unbalanced “phatso” [sic] will give u any trouble but if he starts to get mean and begins growling just dial 1-858-SEL-NEXT or if the line is busy or simply turned off just call my Artist painter-designer-Client-Partner-Wife Marie Dion, her number is 1-858-WIL-NEXT, MD [Gevisser] may not know anything about what u r talking about so please just be patient and remember although she speaks English with a French accent her command of English better than anyone I know, her ability to cut to the chase best described in her observation, “When the dialogue becomes tTOo monologues it is the beginning of the end” [sic] AND “The world would be far better off if women were on permanent PMS then they wouldn’t put up with any of the bullshit.]

 

Second, [speed things up a little if u get the sense u are not dealing with “sumone” [sic] brain-dead who possible graduated from the University of Natal, South Africa or whose grounding in economics came from working at NFM aka Non-Ferrous-Metals whose co-founder was Gunter ‘Pig’ Lazarus] would u agree that given our ability to get everyone signed up with my network within one week the odds of anyone playing it ‘fast & loose’ failing to abide with principals of ‘Do unto your neighbor as u would want done unto yourself” that the odds of someone being able to say get away with a fraudulent workers comp claim that would have them laid up in bed and then being out and about playing say ‘hiding go seek’ with the kids in the neighborhood would be “slim and none” given the fact that everyone with a work related injury would be posted up on possibly the www.real-tycheck.com website or if sumthing more suitable is out there, remember every single man, woman and child will be on the lookout 4 someone interfering with our “bread & butter”?

 

Third, [now if anyone interrupts u with any questions just be very polite and ask them to hold all their questions until the end since in all “likehook” [sic] u will cover most if not all their questions by the time this all over] so with fraudulent claims being kept to a minimum then the amount spent on litigation, attorney fees, court costs such as depositions, interrogatories would also be drastically reduced, agree? [Again depending on how brain dead the audience u could simply say ‘agree?’ versus ‘wouldn’t u agree?’]

 

Fourth, now we are down to just the one other aspect that addresses the so-called ‘underwriting expenses’ of our insurance company and that is the costs associated with the loss and/or injury and again a significant cost associated with this area involves the expenses best described as “under the table’ expenses, commonly referred as ‘kickbacks’ which can come in the form of fraudulent insurance adjusters, folks who basically ‘pad’ the bills, in the case of actual injuries there are a host of techniques that the medical commonly engage in that can drive the costs up immeasurably which again is “sumthing” [sic] we won’t have to worry much about since we have everyone all part of the network and as soon as there is any ‘disconnect’ given the transfer of data along with competitive bidding again bearing in mind that finally no man can truly be an island unto himself then I think u get the picture that there isn’t a ‘hope in hell’ of anyone playing it “fast & loose” for any “extraordinary” length of time and now u understand why The Pisser has been saying that ‘Hell is only here on earth’ 4 evildoers, the likes of Warren ‘BO’ Buffet and Vicky “Sticky-extraordinary” Schiff cannot compete.

 

Fifth and finally there is still the need 4 u to break away from doing business with the likes of Warren ‘BO’ Buffet. There is a little bit of a hassle in filling out the paper work altho it will be streamlined and are course nothing is going to happen in say a week anyway as u go about filling everything out and naturally there is no need for u to cancel your existing coverages with the Warren “nincompoop” Buffet.

 

What I can assure u is that if u let me get off the phone, the sooner the better since time is everything, as u know we can always make money but there is no way I know of to make up for lost time, I will then get the ball rolling which would have give or take 6.3 billion people signed up by week’s end.

 

Oh be4 I forget let me tell a little about how Warren “The Runs” Buffet has managed to eat like a pig, thinking he could get away with shenanigans 4 so long, “cum” [sic] to think of it I once came across this guy Stan Long who was quite the ‘claims man’ who “sum” [sic] would think the best person to be running our claims division so as soon as I get off the phone from u the first call I make will be to Maurice ‘Hank’ Greenberg to find out how I might reach Stan who may have at one time worked 4 AIG or possibly Chubb and come to think of it I think Stan now works for Hank’s son Jeff who is President of Marsh McLennan the largest insurance brokerage house in the world and if I need to find a highly diversified offshore reinsurance probably the largest in the world then while asking Hank to get me Jeff’s number I will then ask at the same time for his other sons number, Evan, who just happens to be the Chief Executive Officer of ACE.

 

So my dear fellow [only get familiar if u feel the person is ready to have sex with u otherwise don’t even think of using their first name, instead address them as either Mr. if they seem to have a male voice or Miss if there is the slightest hint of femininity, remembering we are experiencing a number of ‘topsy turvy curvy’ things in this area including women wanting to be men and a good deal of men clearly wanting to be women which is another subject I don’t feel it necessary 4 u to discuss at this time, focus on the objective at hand] u c how small this insurance world really is but right at the very top is General Re: “bought & paid 4” on taxpayers shoulders although the “control person” is none other than Warren “BO’ Buffet who I can assure u is as Jewish as The Pisser altho The Pisser who also goes by the name Gary Steven Gevisser knows everything about the essence of Judaism whereas Buffet was possibly raised Baptist like Clinton and like Clinton very likely has a roaming eye unless of course he saw his intimate relationship with Mrs. Graham publisher of the Washington Post as a way to get discounted raw beef not to be confused with The Pisser’s ‘Where’s the beef’ that drew momworker63 out of the closet begging 4 help.

 

GsG happens to be a very proud Jewish person fully aware that most Jewish people like most Christians, Muslims and even Roman Catholics are good, hardworking people just trying to make ends meet, trying their best not to knock heads with anyone, but on average just 1 paycheck away from being on the street and of course if we are to play the blame game then we know that all roads lead to Rome, the Romans having morphed into the Roman Catholic Church, baring in mind tho that the most important person in Gary S. Gevisser’s life these past 2 decades has been Amos Wright a Jonny come lately Roman Catholic who is solidly grounded in the most important teachings, good versus evil.

 

Control of the numbers game is the essence of why I know we have a competitive advantage over Mr. Warren “BO” Buffet and anyone else wanted to make ‘light work’ out of The Pisser’s ‘work product’ this umpteen years. Even if u r someone who ‘spreads’ their annual insurance premium payment over the course of the 12 months make no mistake Mr. Buffet should he choose will get the entire annual premium upfront with u paying interest 4 his one of many options.

 

The next option Mr. ‘BO’ Buffet has and from here on out lets simply refer to him as Body Odor, is to take those monies, set aside a portion of them to cover all the inflated underwriting costs discussed previously remembering he has the option to earn interest on all the monies he takes in from the very beginning while knowing full well his ‘underwriting expenses’ are mostly spread out during the course not only of that year but on average approximately 3 years and of course Body Odor has a whole lot of options in terms of where to invest the monies in so-called ‘personal care’ companies such as Gillette and Epilady not being consumed by ‘fatsos’, fat people tending to smell worse than those in good shape not to suggest that anorexic folks have the healthy mind healthy body routine all worked out, and of course the crux of The Pissers experience comes from being in the ‘work out’ business these umpteen years.

 

It is doubtful, however, Body Odor would invest in an Epilady product designed by Middle Eastern men to inflict pain on women most importantly since Body Odor couldn’t count on the Krok family sisters signing affidavits ‘under penalty of perjury’ that they used this product they flogged so effortlessly on a regular basis.

 

So now we come to the crux of why Body Odor et al would want to possibly crucify The Pisser his being acquainted with The Inner Workings of the Insurance Industry going back to when as a young teenager he would be briefed by a Alan Benn a fairly successful accountant and today in his 70s an advisor to Investec whose big mistake was not investing with Donny Gordon a fellow accounting student at university who went on to form Liberty Life-Sun Life Insurance which today assuming Mr. Gordon hasn’t got “tTOo” [sic] carried away, upset the balance of payments of more than one illegitimate regime operation around the world and that is not to suggest that the current South African government is any worse than the previous government or any first world government the nature of this business tho has gone from clogging up leaks in shipping ships to creating tax loopholes wherever the principals of these companies choose to do business, having nothing short of a license to print money more so in many ways than the Federal Government of the United States or the Exchequer over in England to mention little of the Gevisser’s DAAC [DeBeers-Anglo American Cartel] family having a totally free hand in creating the most fictitious medium of exchange.

 

4 simplicity sake lets keep this ‘dialogue’ to the 2 countries that most business people would agree represent the ‘best of all worlds’ the Brits giving us democracy and the Yanks movies like True Grit all geared supposedly toward ‘free and fair trade.’

 

The moment tho Body Odor who is not much different to Donny Gordon other than the fact that Donny Gordon knows a little bit more about things such as ‘loose lips sink ships’ altho his lack of public outspokenness may have everything to do with the fact that he rarely if ever takes a break from stuffing himself like a pig, my father once on an international flight almost felt the need to light up a joint in the lavatory right after Mr. Gordon evacuated his bowls with what my father thought could have been not only all the food offered in 1st Class but those idiot enuf to pay 4 the privilege of sitting alongside “sumone” [sic] who talks so much shit.

 

The Pisser’s one time private get to-get-her with Mr. Gordon is contained in a communication with his wife that in due course will be hyperlinked to this spot, suffice to say Body Odor, at least on ‘public paper’ has acquired more ‘net worth’ than Mr. Gordon altho if I were a betting person it is very possible that in a ‘fire sale’ both Mr. Gordon as well as The Pisser who hasn’t really worked in more than a decade r independently wealthier than Body Odor.

 

It all comes down to how one defines ‘net worth’ and there is every reason to believe that Body Odor wouldn’t have on his Balance Sheet much in the form of ‘Intellectual Property’ 4 the simple reason, at least according to The Pisser because Body Odor doesn’t have that much ‘intellect’ to begin with certainly The Pisser considers Body Odor the most intellectually dishonest person broadcasting over the airwaves courtesy of those such as The Washington Post and CNN and of course there is a lot of help from the likes of Valerie Schulte Esq. over at the National Association of Broadcasters who The Pisser believes should now bend over backwards to fully disclosure 4 everyone on the planet to c where all their monies “cum from” [sic] and how they go about detailing their expenses including buying 4 the likes of people like The Pisser dinner in the most expensive restaurants in Las Vegas.

 

So in a nutshell, the insurance business is nothing short of ‘highway robbery’ where the odds of ‘making out’ are far worse than at any legitimately run casino in the world, generally between 7 and 1/2% ‘stacked’ against u leaving about 1 and ½ minutes to have sex. Measuring time and space made so much easier once we got our arms around the speed of light traveling at 300,000 kilometers per second, in Deep Space which is a perfect vacuum of course and most would agree the closest perfect vacuum we each encounter on a daily basis is the space between our ears.

 

There is much to be said 4 the use of calculators altho Body Odor is quite good at doing computations like determining the Internal Rate of Return in his head but The Pisser would say, ‘Why bother’ instead use that space to impress the best looking women in the world to have sex with u and not settle 4 the likes of someone like Mrs. Graham not to suggest that The Pisser has any evidence whatsoever that Mr. Buffet even once dropped his pants in front of the perhaps the most powerful woman in the “free world’ which brings me back to how very easy it is 4 the Body Odor to play the ‘numbers game’ on a level that would make the mafia want to take the biggest shit imaginable assuming of course u couldn’t get inside The Pisser’s father’s head to know what plagues him to this day and remember Bernard Nathan Gevisser was a fighter-bomber-pilot during WWII and it wasn’t uncommon to find pilots like himself evacuating their bowels on each dive-bombing raid targeting objects such as trains having to worry not only about ground fire, often decoys, but also the tops of trees which could wreck havoc with the wings of planes such as Spitfires that were made out of balsa wood held to-get-her by scotch tape which is how The Pisser came up with the expression, ‘a-hop-jump-and-a-scotch’ altho it was not all that uncommon 4 sum of the pilots to in fact fly drunk.

 

Punch drunk is the key to keeping anyone off balance but what is most important when one is in the ring with say a heavyweight boxer is not simply pushing your opponent of his-her “center of gravity” but being able to c what mistakes your opponent is making which is the biggest difference between winner and losers considering that just one punch could kill.

 

Nothing like sumone who kills a party but the party played by the likes of Body Odor are about to come to an end and let me finish explaining why.

 

At the end of each day be4 taking a sundowner the likes of Body Odor sit back in their chairs and have their actuaries provide them with a ‘body count’ and if in fact it looks like Body Odor’s troops are fairing to well, i.e. making too much profit which would mean they would have to pay Uncle Sam and the Inland Revenue Service as it is known over in England a whole bunch of money so Body Odor simply says, ‘Beef up the reserves’ which has what is known as a ‘double whammy’ positive effect on Body Odor’s bottom line. First, he can all but eliminate his ‘taxable income’ bringing his ‘tax liability’ to essentially zero if he so chooses, baring in mind that there is a ‘dotted line’ between what he reports to the tax authorities and what is disclosed to the shareholders also bearing in mind that the vast majority of Body Odor’s wealth is contained within the value of his ‘publicly held’ corporation known as Berkshire Hathaway which began as a hat manufacturer.

 

It is this ability to wear many hats including that of advisor to interlopers from Austria such as strongman Arnold Schwarzenegger married in to quite the mafia family that confuses a good number of folks besides 4 Body Odor’s gregarious style camouflaging his egregious acts including calling upon the Federal Government to bail him out from any future terrorist attacks, however, one goes about defining “acts of war” versus “acts of terror” so long as one has “bought and paid 4” [sic] politicians all putting on one incredible act when passing laws to take care of those who butter their bread, in the end it is the hardworking taxpayers getting hit time and again in their pocket books, first when paying Body Odor 4 the privilege of him doing exactly what with those premiums and then paying 4 it all a second time when the Federal Government “assumes” the obligation and of course there is nothing to assume here since it is very much ‘black & white’.

 

And of course the minorities always get it in the shorts, ‘adverse selection’ paying big time dividends to mention little of ‘racial profiling’ as in “What happens when you give rights to blacks” so easy to confuse the masses with a bunch of phrases given how easily they have bought into “Preservation of life and limb” when knowing the biggest plague facing them is human population explosion, affording the Body Odor to continue doing his ‘dirty’ business ‘at will.’

 

Then with the reserves now ‘beefed up’ and the monies moved ‘offshore’ into ‘tax free interest bearing accounts’ beyond the reach of the Domestic taxing authorities, i.e. United States taxpayers, Body Odor’s underwriters now go to work on those customers who pay 4 the privilege of making Body Odor the richest person on the planet and what they do is quite simple, telling those customers who have had a ‘loss over the past 3 years’ that Body Odor in his infinite wisdom has calculated that there is a need 4 him to increase the reserves in order to pay ‘claims’ that have a ‘tail’ that supports the “increased reserves” all at taxpayers expense, the underwriters impressing upon the insured that there is no exact crystal ball out there but at the same time when Body Odor looks back over the past 3 odd years in reviewing their account in an effort to decide what would be fair to charge the insured going forward, the insured must recognize that it is so important that Body Odor be ‘profitable’ in order to stay in business in order to pay out a ‘loss’ should it occur in the future and so the insured in most cases simply acquiesces given the fact that time is everything to a hard working ‘mom & pop’ and even if they were to ‘shop around’ one gets to c rather quickly that there really isn’t much competition in this arena as insurance company after insurance company bites the dust.

 

So u may ask why is it that so many companies have been going broke having to be absorbed by the likes of Body Odor when they have such an incredible tax avoidance scheme and the answer lies in the fact that every so often they bring back those ‘offshore funds’ to take care of ‘tails’ that they themselves created in the first place folks knowing intuitively that the insurance companies have more money than G-d and finding ways to sock it to them in ‘one way or another’ and Body Odor knowing this all so very well is simply doing everything he can to stay ahead of the wave that is now about to crush him, cash flow underwriting about to come to an end, just ask 10 accountants to define the word ‘cash flow’ and u will likely get 11 answers just like if u get 10 Jewish people in a room there will at least one of us coming up with 2 answers that are distinctly different to each of the other answers, the point being that it is human nature to try and outdo the next person which isn’t necessarily bad but at “sum” [sic] point it does become “sumwhat” [sic] overkill, at some point the sum of the parts cannot go on increasing ad-infinitum, agree?

 

Which brings me back Body Odor’s Dairy Queen investment and I assume u have watched him suck down on those ice-cream bars like there is no tomorrow, point being that Body Odor gets so carried away with himself every so often buying into little bitsy small companies that don’t even constitute a ‘scratch’ on his balance sheet i.e. not a pimple on an elephants ass, making such a big deal about how good an investor he is in other businesses going naturally with management so in awe of him, his success in the main business of Berkshire Hathaway all about monopolistic business practices way beyond the reach of the legislatures the insurance lobby without doubt the most powerful on the entire planet other than my DAAC family and even then Body Odor still slips up on occasion and of course he wouldn’t embrace the Digital Age choosing not to invest a dime in computer companies like Microsoft not because of Bill Gates Senior’s ‘anti-competitive’ business practices but because Body Odor knows perfectly well that the Digital Age is his death nail, the ability by someone like The Pisser operating out of The Cave in a fukukta spot like Del Mar able to keep tabs on the likes of Body Odor like never be4, who can at whim choose to go at Body Odor like a bat out of hell. . 

  

No matter how many times one is divided not matter how bleak one’s circumstance, no matter even if one’s legs are chopped off below the knees as long as one has peace of mind in the belief that there is a superior force out there that no matter which side one chooses to play on as long as u r “good” being willing to “square off” at those who choose to be in the side of “evil” that only in a Right Angled Triangle can one have a situation where X²+Y²=Z² where Z is the so-called hypotenuse, i.e. Pythagoras’ Proof Theorem for the first and perhaps only time in history which can also be stated as, “This + This = That” that all mysticism and superstition is totally removed from the creation leaving man to then build incredible objects to engage in explorations of the wondrous universe never tho getting “carried away” believing for a minute that his image is made up of anything more special than the next person who may be disfigured but who has a mind such as Einstein’s who turned the world on its head with Special Relativity, that “change” is part of our “make up” and should be embraced as opposed to those “caught up” in their own self importance, shunning others who refuse to “stand still” satisfied with their “lot in life” end up “stiff” well before stepping into the grave,  agree?

 

The moment we neglect the positive signs of aging wanting to hold on to our “good looks” the instant we begin to take the first step into a premature grave.

 

Better to be mature about things from an early age, think smart, each one of us getting an “early start” making certain to hold in check those who spend their days holding on to the past, looking over their shoulders, accumulating as much as they can so that when they die they can do as they have done from the very start control their offspring from the grave.

 

Einstein could never embrace the Quantum Mechanics but may today find “peace” no doubt having benefited sumwhat if in fact he was able “to turn over” as well as “twist” in his grave, perhaps best described in a 1983 article in Scientific American titled, Quantum Gravity, written by Bryce S. DeWitt.

 

“…The Quantum world is never still. In the quantum field theory of electromagnetism, for example, the value of the electromagnetic field is continually fluctuating…Indeed, it is possible that the sequence of events in the world and the meaning of past and future would be susceptible to change…

 

Special Relativity, however, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the difference of the squares of the sides rather than to the sum [Pythagoras]…

 

Because Einstein’s gravitational field theory is a generalization of special relativity, he called it general relativity. This is a misnomer. General relativity is actually less relativistic than special relativity…

 

Curved spacetimes (or ,more precisely, models of curved spacetime) also exist in an infinite variety of topological types. As candidates for a description of the real universe some of the models can be rejected because they lead to paradoxes of causality or because in them known physical laws cannot be made to hold. There still remain a staggering number of possibilities.

 

One notable model of the universe was proposed by the Russian mathematician Alexander A. Friedmann in 1922. In special relativity spacetime is viewed as being not only flat but also infinite in extent in both space and time… The model has a been a Edwin P. Hubble in the 1920s. When Friedmannn’s model is combined with Einstein’s theory of gravitation, it predicts a big bang at an initial moment of infinite compression, followed by an expansion that slows down over billions of years because of the mutual gravitational attraction of all the matter in the universe…

 

A simple example of a multiply connected universe is one whose structure is repeated ad infinitum, like a wallpaper pattern, in a given spatial direction. Every galaxy in such a universe is a member of an infinite series of identical galaxies separated by some fixed (and necessarily enormous) distance. If the members of a series are truly identical, it is questionable whether they should be considered distinct. It is more economical to view each series as representing just one galaxy. Hence a journey from one member of the series to the next returns a traveler to his starting point, and a line tracing such a journey is a closed curve that cannot be shrunk to a point. It is like a closed curve on the surface of cylinder that goes around the cylinder once. The repeating universe is called a cylindrical universe…

 

Quantum mechanics, the third component of quantum gravity,… took no account of the theory of relativity. Its success was nonetheless immediate and brilliant…

 

By the mid-1930s it was fully understood that when the quantum theory is combined with relativity, a number of entirely new facts can be deduced…

 

These astonishing consequences of uniting special relativity and quantum mechanics have been confirmed repeatedly in the past half century. Relativity and quantum theory together yield a theory that is greater than the sum of its parts. The synergistic effect is even more pronounced when gravity is included…

 

The conservative view at present is that the inclusion of quantum effects is the only reasonable clue in sight for the incompleteness of Einstein’s theory…

 

If Einstein could come back in spirit to witness what has become of his theory, he would certainly be astonished, and I think pleased. He would be pleased that physicists at last, after years of hesitation, have come to accept his view that theories that are mathematically elegant deserve to be studied even if they do  not seem to correspond immediately to reality. He would also be pleased that physicists now dare to hope a unified field theory may be attainable. He would be particularly pleased to find his old dream that all of physics may be explainable in geometric terms seems to be coming true.

 

Above all he would be astonished. Astonished that the quantum theory still stands pristine and unmoved in the midst of it all, enriching field theory and itself being enriched by it. Einstein never believed the quantum theory expresses ultimate truth. He never reconciled himself to the indeterminism it implies and thought it would someday be replaced by a nonlinear field theory. Exactly the opposite has happened. The quantum theory has invaded Einstein’s theory and transmuted it.

 

The sum of us can just for a finite amount of time be greater than the individual parts made up of immeasurable alloys and minute particles and as long as one can just twist a little even if the only thing moving is a brain particle capable of imagining a right angle triangle when set on its side, the only object known to man that when divided not only retains its shape no matter how many times it is divided that in a worst case scenario, “it” will never approach a number less than one, perhaps those who named Pythagoras’ Right Angle Triangle the Golden Triangle were more “in touch” than the average “Blow Joe” such as Gray “Ho Chi Min” Davis and the likes of Warren “BO” Buffet, Sandy “I don’t think my brain is going to go dead this afternoon or next week” Weill, Ronald “The Finagle King” Perelman et al who are nothing more than crooks in suits, agree?

 

To be continued…
