Ebb and flow, reminding me of Tom and Huck floating down the river together, tossing flat stones to see whose rock skipped the water the most, ever noticing slight ripples as they sailed rewardingly to their watery graves, even as all of us ripple out-weirdly as the universe expands. It is how we know we are all here. Tom, strange but true statements you have made here, and all the more they are enjoyable by comparison in your written discussion. Still, I would like to point out that 6-months after inventor Nikola Tesla died, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that, Tesla not Marconi, was the true inventor of radio. When Tesla was told of the signaling achievement of Marconi, Tesla remarked, "That's OK, Marconi is a good boy, besides he is using 16 of my patents."
