h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Since Prajapati is a major figure in early Indian theology, I'm guessing that Ori and Orion and their derivations also figure into the developing human quest for meaning in the universe.

Also, I don't think a crime has been committed yet....

That's kind of the implied question, isn't it? If there WAS a crime, what was it?

Ori,going down with the paternoster in the first place could have been the crime, from the perspective of the assembled angelry upstairs.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see where it goes.

Like the scenery. (those rocks could be cold to sit on though).

Thanks, Caiman!

Oh yes, the scenery is great! Somehow these paternosters remind me of the tardis... although they don't seem to be bigger on the inside.

Thanks, Tav!

Actually... Short answer: up until now, Ori didn't need the space. There was nothing to put there.

(Wait'll next week.)

The Tardis, although certainly the best-known fictional example of something 'bigger on the inside' due to 60 years' worth of media marketing, doesn't have a lien on the idea of dimensional hijinks like that. It's just a tv show's representation of it brought about by the realities of sound stages in the days before CGI.

I don't remember how old I was, but it was barely in the double digits, when I read an old pulp magazine story about two terrified physicists who had managed somehow to end up wrestling with a multidimensional entity in a garage. The author's attempts to describe what that looked like were magisterial. I've been fascinated by the topic ever since.

There's also Vonnegut's genius concept of the chronosynclastic infundibulum, which I think is basic to spacetime travel. (If there were a Nobel Prize for fictional physics, he'd have won it.)

I also think that's how the mind works. I suspect YOUR 'mind palace' is as tardis-like as mine is. I watched a certain politician exhorting his followers this week and wondered, with Marvin, 'How can he live in something that small?'

Yes, the image is very reminiscent of two TARDISs

Intriguing about the chocolate

I like ‘mind palace’ - h2g2 helps us to maintain wonder and add to the space

Yes, it does, doesn't it? I've used it many a time to help people on Twitter.
