How can you be sure there is no soul attached to this system? Are we not just cogs in the machine, hoping to be turning the correct direction at the right time? What if our assumed reality was not exactly natural but a system that has been turned on, for something's enjoyment?

But there's billions of stars out there, how complex would that map need to be? Actually, Samuel Arbesman, a research fellow from Harvard, has come up with a fun solution. He created the 'Milky Way Transit Authority (MWTA),' a simple transit system in the style of the iconic London Underground "Tube Map." (Travel Tip: Don't spend too much time loitering around the station at Carina, there's some demolition work underway.)"

What would a brown dwarf do if it passed close by to earth... since they are hard to detect I can assume we wouldn't see it coming. Would it possible be able to cause the earth to spew out a moon? http://www.physorg.com/news183884450.html?xid=rss-fullcontent

Get a group together and host classes for creativity with free computer programing in the many libraries in nearly every community...if you have that much moneys...but maybe it wouldn't cost much? I don't see too much innovative changing going on in the world.
