A Conversation for Alpha: the Key to the Universe?
A fine thing

I guess it was Laurel and Hardy who made famous the line, "Another fine mess you've gotten us into!" And some American war movie had a line from an Asian whorehouse madam who guaranteed "finest kind!"
So I guess it's a fine thing to have knowledge of the 'finest structure'. And I must thank thee for an interesting entry even if concepts like 'fine' and 'finest' are unlikely to ever come up in any conversation of mine.
If I were picky, and I have no right to be, I'd quibble that if the argument the concept is based on requires knowledge of, and faith in, two other so-called 'established' factors - ie: the speed of light and the force of gravity - it may well be a house of cards built on quicksand.
But then I'd appear foolish for denying the speed of light and the force of gravity and being unable to dissuade anyone from accepting these two pervasive and insidious fallacies.
Light is actually a lot slower than that; I can bend it with my mind. And gravity is only a factor when drunk or balancing raw eggs on a spoon.
