yea one of my favorite Einstein terms is "spooky action at a distance" referring to the work of schroedinger (sp?) and his wave mechanics.. but nowadays that view is the most consistent with applied quantum mechanics, so yeah Einstein wasn't perfect but he was far from opposed to this view, just a healthy skeptical of it
as far as "God does not play dice with the universe" it is not in reference to any particular theory, but rather the methods of modern statistical mechanics. i'm inclined to agree with Mr. Einstein because stat mech is mostly a tool, not a physical law, and is therefore limited as a tool in science.
people seem to overemphasize Einstein's belief in God, because Einstein claimed to believe in Spinoza's God, which if anyone is familiar with this, is more of a secular view of God. in fact, Spinoza was excommunicated from the Jewish community of his time for his "heretical" views
So to Einstein God was just the concepts behind the workings of the universe. He didn't believe that the universe works entirely by chance, although at our level of observation it appears to work that way - and it is probably the most useful way of looking at things
hence the search for a Grand Unified Theory of Everything continues:) It's pretty clear that Einstein saw things entirely different than other scientists of his time, and that is why he was so brilliant.
well the stuff has a much wider appeal than viagra and porn.
it appeals to all age groups and genders and levels of sex drive:)..
especially for us lazy computer people. in fact pain meds can help get you more active because things like back pain often keeps people lazy..
so indirectly for younger folk it probably will improve yr sex life more than viagra, maybe you'll get off yr azz and go for a walk:)
i would personally like to see vioxx ads featuring half-naked nurses - i will read that spam:)
but on a serious note, you might as well stick with the aspirin since it is also a COX inhibitor (though less selective) and just put up with the possible stomach upset. cheaper and no heart attack risk (known of so far hah)
