I mean really; just because it is semi-archaic and everybody knows it, It is nevertheless very important. When one regards the history of where our current notions of reality exist, this particular equation permeates the very infrastructure of societal norms itself. Why not have a tattoo of this mind provoking equation? This equation is so basic that it begs for more elaboration and complexity. I say it's the perfect equation for a tattoo.
You forgot about the supplies that would need to be shipped in order to make these items in-house; unless they are going out back and grabbing a bunch of dirt, lol. It wouldn't really change much at all. The manufacturer simply switched from making and delivering products into making and delivering raw materials. The retail outlet has now become the maufacturer and seller.
O confer with you on this. I myself was appalled top find it listed among the other mystic and occult beliefs such as 'paganism'. Zen is so far from all of these that is not even funny.
I am appalled at the mention of Zen in your story submittal. It should not be included among 'paganism' of all things when considering mystical-occult-type of beliefs.
Initially I'm thinking, "WOW! Cool, this would be sooo cool to have!", but then my reason kicks in and say's, "Seriously, for what practical prupose would this sort of thing serve?" THen I realize the TRUTH: "it doesn't HAVE to serve ANY practical purpose whatsoever, so long as it is just cool!
Juan Ho.....A chinese daredevil way back in some B.C. century I read about once. In order to fly to the moon, he strapped a buttload of fireworks to the back of his chair, lit the fuse....and Juan Ho was never seen again!
IMHO we need a new set of mathematical analyses to come to terms with the concept of describing curved space in four dimensions. Sure we have tried via the GUT's, but I think our problem is in our reliance upon three dimensional manifestations of these theories. Hence, a four-dimensional description of the universe will NEVER make sense in a 3-D world, only in a 4-D world. That is why quantumn physics defies reason. You can't take a 3-D description of the universe, render it in 4 dimensions, and then run it back through 3-D analyses without running into all sorts of problems with 0 =infinity and other conflicts of level-headed reasoning. Just my -2 cents worth.
DVD's DO NOT use blue wavelengths. They are only a smaller version of the red wavelength ones. I'm guesstimating here, but something like 640 nanometers compared to 720 for regular CD's.

Oops! Obviously I didn't see that. My goof!

I can't fathom the implications of this in a regular state of mind....sheeesh!
I was greatly appalled at the mention of Zen in all of this.

yeah well, I thought the whole point of this was about more efficiency and power consumption; not about raw "pedal to the metal" speed.
