Really? I had a good freind who got her first around 30. She is now a professor.

While I'm here... I just attended a lecture at my lab, given by Roger Penrose, where he talked a bit about his hypothesis that the 'end' state of the very far future, resembles quite a bit, the 'beginning' state of the universe.
I've often regarded Penrose as a sort of brilliant crank, who is looking for something grand on which to be remembered. Previously, I thought his work on quantum consciousness was a bit silly.
I was actually kind of impressed this time, though. I thought his arguments rather clever, if not maybe correct.
I'll try later, when I have time, to put out a layman explaination, but in the meantime, here's a web broadcast of a previous version of the lecture I attended.
If you have had some advanced physics, you can skip down to the 20's in the slides. 26, I think.Comment

Easier reading...
Again, clever idea. Don't think it quite works, though. I don't see how the universe will eventually be exclusively photons. Not with a positive cosmological constant...Comment

But, so are philosophers and most highly specialised and educated and intelligent people.I'm not buying BtS until Firaxis impliments the "contiguous cultural border negates colony tax" concept.Comment
