Re: FLUXLIST: The inconstancy of constants
http://www.sheldrake.org/experiments/constants/ A very interesting read . . . physicist Rupert Sheldrake (the guy who gave us "morphic resonance"--one of my fave theories) asks the question: Do physical constants fluctuate? Like maybe the speed of light IS NOT the constant we thought it was. He says: "The implications of fluctuating fundamental constants would be enormous. The course of nature could no longer be imagined as blandly uniform; we would recognize that there are fluctuations at the very heart of physical reality." How Fluxus of nature! Barg

I did not know that anyone imagined the course of nature to be blandly uniform.
