What's the point of calling it a TOE? You can't use it for anything. the "TO" part implies that we understand it. We don't understand of all reality, so we can't use all its properties to make predictions, so it's not useful for us as a "theory" and I don't see it as correct or appropriate to refer to it as such. -- silky http://dnoondt.wordpress.com/ (Noon Silk) | http://www.mirios.com.au:8081 > "Every morning when I wake up, I experience an exquisite joy — the joy of being this signature." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
