The UFO cover-up has gone on for so long, but now fools very few people. The disclosure of mountains of evidence is essential to the acceptance and safety of our craft and personnel, and it needs to be seen that we have interacted with you in a peaceful and non-interfering manner. We would like that to go further, and reveal the many occasions that we have contacted your officials on peaceful missions. There is still a mixed feeling about our intentions, but generally speaking we are accepted as being of no threat to you. The nearer we get to First Contact there will be fear mongering but we visualize that by then we shall have achieved our goal of being accepted. The messages we bring are going to call for a new look at your history, and many false concepts and beliefs will have to be released.

RANDOM BIO:

"Hi my name is Ross and I am Random. The Bay Area has been my home and source of inspiration for all of my life. In the year 1996 I heard Psychedelic Trance and chose the twisted path of being a psy-trance musician and DJ, now I make and play music inspired by the environments of places I have lived, and for the parties that I have played at around the world. I gather encouragement and inspiration from the people and the parties that I play at and/or put ..ing me to explore the realms of possibility in designing sound.
Growing up in Northern California placed me amongst incredibly diverse music scenes. I can’t deny my goth punk roots, but those days were for learning to play the drums and the guitar. I collected EBM and Industrial, which led me to Techno then Hard Trance a bit of Jungle, Hardcore, Acid Techno, and then I bought my first GOA records. In 1997 over 200 of my best psy records were destroyed in a fire, changed my life but gave me a reason to rebuild my collection. In 2001 after four years of Djing and throwing parties my mind got set on serious music production. My music is formed from all of my music tastes and is created for dance floor destruction.
In the beginning I would take all the gigs I could get, playing in fields, barns, river beds, forests, wherehouses, city streets, beaches, clubs, weddings, graduations, houses and mega rave events. So far I've played at events with many psy artist from around the world including Xenomorph, Earthling, Altom, Scorb, Deviant Species, Lemurians, Rastaliens, Neuromotor, Hydraglyph, BUS, CPU, GMS, Deedrah, Jirah, Hyperfrequency, Audiopathik, Phase Phour, Miraculix, Electrypnose, Mechanika, Serious Isness, Eskimo, Noosphere, Alien Project, Quantize, Higko, Naked Tourist, Onnomon, Clone, Shapestatic, Mexican Trance Mafia, Deviant Species, Phatmatix, Kode Six, Loud, Virtual Light, Psychotic MIcro, EVP, Shiva Jeorg, Krumuler. uhh probably a lot more that i am forgetting and the list will grow. Plus all the local California artist and friends of mine Mubali, Mindstorm, The Loomi, Bodhisattva 13:20, Meta, Fractal Cowboys, Amanda, Ghreg on Earth, Arahat, Ocelot, Parus, Alien Mental, Penta, Chromatone, RoB0t, Helios, Xyla, Deeper In Zen, and more.
From the days of working in a full midi studio with roommates and friends using Logic Audio on crappy computers and even worse monitors, we tried to bend the boundaries of weird music. Now in '07, I'm upgraded in the studio gear and computer. and have composed 4+ CDs worth of unreleased tracks, and release my debut album Implicate Order in '06. My music has matured and morphed with time and my self-taught skills have resulted in an innovative, fresh sound like nothing that even I have heard before.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Random also co-produces tracks under the titles: "CHROMATONE and RANDOM", "PHOENIX FAMILY" and "MEGADROP" "

Drugs?

crimsonslumber — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 21:07:38 GMT

Did anyone else see crazy amounts of very bad drugs? My friend was having crack smoke blown on her while she was trying to nap, among other things.

Was it just because we were in downtown Eugene, or is that how the people base is evolving? That's the only thing I was disappointed in with this last party. I understand the need for money, but are our standard lowering to accommodate that? I'm just getting back into the scene, so maybe this was a special case...

Just some thoughts. Let me know what you think.

Blessings,
Lyra

modcam — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 18:49:12 GMT

Friday Feb, 1st, Modcam releases his debut album, Six Minute City, at the New Odyssey Juice Bar. The music begins at 5pm, with local Rebirth DJs at helm to steer us into electronic grooves late into the night. The album will be available to purchase throughout the night, and there will be a silent auction for the Studio Monitor Speakers used in the creation of the album.

Six Minute City is a collection of songs that range from dreamy and sultry to complex, glitchy, and psychedelic. Throughout 12 tracks,
Cameron demonstrates his honed sound that he has cultivated over 8 years of creating electronic music. Influenced by the likes of Raja
Ram and Simon Posford, Aphex Twin, Shulman, Ott and Kraftwerk, Cameron manages to effortlessly blend melodic sensibilities with synthetic and natural sounds.The album is appealing to anybody who enjoys any of the subgenres of electronic music, including ambient, dub/reggae,
downtempo, IDM and glitch music.

bedouin — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 22:00:46 GMT

Mother Earth is also busy preparing herself for the vast changes contemplated by Heaven. For nearly 13 millennia, she has been forced to contort her body in ways that were required for the continued existence of her prized limited-conscious humans. Her magnificent sacrifice is now nearing its end, and she is looking forward to her return to her former fully conscious self. To this end a number of portents of earth changes have been provided, and those who pay attention to these signs realize that we are indeed close to a transformation of this reality. They also understand that these change are divine in nature. In light of this these wise souls have used their authority to give a warning to others that something quite incredible is at hand. Your world needs to comprehend that what is happening is a grand shift on all levels of consciousness. Love is Light, and it is this divine energy that is accomplishing its handiwork in the sacred space called physicality! Here, it seeks to move you in one great surge to the next prophesied reality.

The world of illusion you live in is not as solid or as changeless as you were taught to believe; it is what the Hindus call "Maya," and is governed by the Divine and by your True Selves. It is this sacred council that has decreed the great changes that is happening around you. You are to move to a world that your dark manipulators have relegated to the realms of myth and impossibility. But changes to your world are becoming increasingly apparent each day, while the reality created by the dark gets steadily more untenable. At every hand disasters are waiting to happen: The biosphere is becoming almost too toxic to support life; mass extinctions of whole species of plants and animals are underway; and Mother Earth's upper atmosphere grows more unstable, resulting in drastic global climate change. This affects your oceans by indirectly changing the pathways of major ocean currents.

These adjustments of your atmosphere and oceans are upping the pressures Mother Earth is putting on human society. This is done not out of malice but Love. Humanity is getting a "heads up" and must respond with a path of action! In the same vein our increased exposure in your skies is another sign that the world you have known is reaching a point of change. This process is further emphasized by the changes happening within each one of you. On top of all this are our weekly messages to you, aimed at giving you the means to pull the bigger picture together and to understand the extent of these changes. Nevertheless, despite our many messages you need to hone your faculties of discernment: As you look around, see beyond surface appearances; take information from all quarters (personal observation, Internet, reading etc.) and weave it all together. You will find that some amazing patterns begin to emerge.

The first thing to strike you is likely to be that massive change to your consciousness and your reality is incontestable! Next, you may perceive that the invincibility of the dark is manifestly crumbling. Your world is moving at its own pace toward something completely different and quite grand. Our medical teams notice a marked increase in your perceptive abilities, which means that you are accepting this change. And yet, somehow, you are still reluctant to fully embrace what you read, see, or even feel. This is hardly surprising given the intense; misleading indoctrination you are given by the Anunnaki and their minions. You are now, in effect, grappling with opposing value systems. Eventually, you are destined to break free and take on a set of new core perceptions concerning reality. And yet, what may seem quite fantastical to you now is merely the beginning of what you are destined to learn!

The investigation of the UFO cover-up takes you on a trip that reveals your off-world origins and shows the falsity of your stories of earthly evolution. Then you cannot help but look at your reality with new eyes. Now you will be able to focus on new insights and be ready to question how and why your present reality was shaped some 13 millennia ago. This then brings you to the next leg of the journey, which is to knit all the new facts into a whole. Now you have a structure from which to winkle out the falsities of your indoctrination and replace them with the new facts. This process feeds your growing faculties of discernment and readies you for the next step; namely, to be on the watch for "traveling companions" who can help you put the pieces of the puzzle together; and it is this skill that teaches you about the importance of sharing with others.

This next step of forming community and educating others is where most of you are right now. The remainder of the galactic year needs to be devoted to interaction. From now on, your solitary path of exploration that got you to this point needs to be more outwardly manifested, and we wish to encourage you now to take this next step. We realize that it is not easy for some of you to come forward and allow your discerning wisdom to come into the open. To help you in this, Heaven and the First Contact Team are firmly behind you. We ask that you summon your already proven resources of courage to form groups, which at first can be support and information groups. As mentioned before, resources are covertly being prepared to support you as you grow into this next phase of your mission. Remember, Together, We are indeed Victorious!

Today, we continued our discussion about what is truly happening around you. All signs indicate the swift approach of a grand change in your reality and of first contact. This pivotal event marks the boundary between your present and your golden new reality! We now retire. Know in your Heart of Hearts that the perpetual Supply and infinite Abundance of Heaven are indeed Yours! Selamat Majon! Selamat Kasitaram! (Sirian for Rejoice! and Be Blessed in Heavenly Love and Joy!)

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to let everyone know that the Mt. Pisgah Mushroom Festival and Plant Sale is the day after this wonderful party on the 27th. There will be displays set up of many different varieties of mushrooms, and tons of edible (alas, not psychoactive) mushrooms and growing kits for sale. Also, their plant sale is really nice. If you're a food/plant geek (like myself) or just want to see some awesome specimens, check it out! It's 10a-4p, $5 to get in.

Hope to see you there!!

Supporting Our Scene

Wed, 30 May 2007 18:45:03 GMT

I wanted to throw something into the mix here...my two cents.

I worked the gate at the last AWL gathering and noticed that quite a few people didnt come prepared to kick down the financial support asked for (some even refused to give anything), even though it wasnt a donation based party.

Throwing these types of events costs quite a bit of money for the focalizers, who seriously lay it on the line for us to have a place to celebrate together and for the DJs who invest their money into new beats for us to vibe to. The focalizers know their budgets...no ones trying to get rich off a party...their trying to pay for equipment, maintenance, gas to haul everything around, rentals, djs, etc so that we can all have this church to come back to to revel in joy and connection together. When money is made beyond the parties budget and you look at that amount by all the hours put into making it happen, promoters and djs are often the lowest paid per hour people.

While I havent been in this scene here for long, I have been involved in underground events for 15 years, and have seen promoters who throw great parties get burnt out and stop creating gatherings due to lack of financial support from the community. After losing money on multiple events, it becomes very trying and sometimes impossible to continue laying it on the line like that even when doing it for the love. I have also seen DJs who do it for the love give up due to how expensive beats are when trying to keep the rest of their financial lives in balance.

I would HATE to see that happen here, as the scene here in Eugene is sooooo amazing.

Lets all show our gratitude for what these people do for us with investment in a sustainable and balanced scene, no matter how good of friends you are with the crew or djs. If youre such good friends with them, support what theyre doing financially. Please come prepared to give to the cause...if you know you cant afford the amount asked for, talk to the focalizers before the party, ask if you can work staff for the event.

We are so lucky and should be so thankful for what we have here. It is a gift, not a right. I have been missing ths type of underground scene for years in San Francisco and New York, where the promoters shifted from outdoor family gatherings to club based nights in order to keep it sustainable. The Eugene area seems to be one of the last truly underground based dance communities on the west coast...lets keep it that way!

Its our scene...we all create it with our actions and intentions. Lets keep this scene here thriving! Show the love at the gate, please =)

The Tzolkin: Music for positive planetary consciousness.

DarkMother — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 07:39:36 GMT

Positive planetary climate change requires positive planetary consciousness change. http://www.DarkMother.com

Twenty years ago, I was sitting in my little studio in Los Angeles, CA, sequencing and recording the first acoustic translations of the Mayan Sacred Calendar, the Tzolkin, and shifting into what was being called the "Harmonic Convergence." Throughout the convergence, the acoustic translations of the Tzolkin's 20 Sacred Signs were being broadcast through my house and yard via the only radio transmission system accessible to me at the time, an el cheapo walkie talkie. Lolol... Hey, gotta do what ya gotta do and, having "coincidentally" translated the Tzolkin into sound only months before, my intention was to insure that the planet's ethereal body received both the galactic radio transmission and a local radio transmission of the [concentrated] Tzolkin's currents, simultaneously. It was the least I could do for the planet and, although I had the least of the consumer broadcasting possibilities, I got the job done. (A little leaven leavens the whole loaf.) Since that auspicious transit, the world's consciousness has followed a predicted course toward collective enlightenment, on and relative to all levels of society. Now, here we are, 20 years later, poised on the precipice of (and rapidly accelerating into) the most profound shift in planetary consciousness the world has ever experienced. Fortunately, the ancient Maya priests who foresaw this time also perceived and left us the Tzolkin as a tool to help us transit this period successfully.

Here is the fundamental value of the Tzolkin; it is a Key unlocking the Archetypal Properties embodied in cycles of the 4th dimension, Time, that enable us to ascend into higher levels of Life and being human (in the Highest sense of the word). Time is about periodicity, frequency. Basically, Consciousness, the All in all, uses Time to effect change in the 3rd, 2nd and 1st dimensions. The Tzolkin is a map of how Consciousness does so relative to the expression of specific Aspects of Itself. The Tzolkin is a table of the Logic embodying specific, cyclic Patterns of Time facilitating the expression of those Aspects through all states of manifestation via electromagnetic radiation. When those Patterns are expressed in their purest Form, i.e. electromagnetic frequency, e.g. sound or light, that expression effects a psychoactive, ethereal bridge to the 4th dimension and the Consciousness that generates, progresses and sustains all that is.

At this time, the world understands the principals of using complimentary sounds to effect brain synchronization and cognitive enhancement. Now, we understand the validity of using tone to effect remarkable physiological and psychological shifts. Furthermore, we not only accept, we embrace the mathematical plausibility of a multidimensional universe beyond the accepted 4 dimensions; length, width, height/depth and time. Today, we understand the unity of these dimensions and of all things in such a way that we can comprehend how certain harmonic patterns transmitted in the 3D expression of Life may effect links to their concurrent Life expressions in the 4D, 5D and higher realms. We understand that sound can be used to effect vibrational states whereby higher levels of perception and informations are obtained. And now, as a result of the Tzolkin acoustic translations, we are capable of taking an ordinary CD and tangibly applying dynamics of the 4th dimension to radically and positively progress individual and communal consciousness, health and vitality.

Jesus (the Christ, not Martinez) said "They that have ears to hear, let them hear." He knew not everyone was prepared to hear the enlightening Truth that Consciousness was pouring through him, nevertheless, he spoke so those who could hear It would have the opportunity to do so. I'm sure there are many people reading this who are dismissing the above as New Age delusion, at best, and that does not negate the validity of what I'm sharing, nor of my experience and the experiences of many others who have used the Tzolkin acoustic translations. At one point, we lacked the instruments to confirm we live in an heliocentric planetary system, that information can be transmitted across open air without wires, that our cells are individual microcomputers. We may not have the instruments required to validate string theory or the practical linking of our 3D experience to the vital currents of the 4th and higher dimensions using sound and/or light, however we will. Those who do or may understand and are seeking the value of the easily applied tools for personal enhancement such as the Tzolkin translations (who share this online community) deserve to hear now, and they can.

The Live Earth concerts!! Wow, speaking of hearing, the sound quality was incredible. I was online through most of the event, jumping from country to country, continent to continent. I heard a lot of great music and I heard a consistent message. The message is that we are ready to drop our individual b.s. and start making the necessary shifts in consciousness and personal responsibility necessary for planetary survival and well being. It was a motivating experience. Being motivated to directly further the positive planetary consciousness shift, I have decided to offer my company's mp3CD versions of the 4 most fundamental and dynamic Tzolkin acoustic translations at 1/2 price for 260 days, beginning July 11, (2007). The Tzolkin is a 260-day Calendar; if we're gonna do a Tzolkin music sale for the sake of raising planetary consciousness, we might as well do it for a full Calendrical cycle. (Otherwise, it's just a sale, and that's not what this is about.) The translations are among the most powerful and effective cognitive and personal enhancement tools available -- more comprehensively and enduringly effective than Hemi-Sync, Holo-Sync and other similar products -- at a very low and reasonable price for such products. Nonetheless, it's a pivotal time, and I would have DMG/DarkMother.com assist in the process of planetary ascension by making the core of our product line "Ascension" available to millions more people by simply making it more affordable.

Positive planetary climate change begins with positive planetary consciousness change. "They that have ears to hear, let them hear." Come, hear and experience Ascension @ http://www.DarkMother.com

May you grow daily as Light and Love,

Rev. Michaele de Cygne

Gathering May 19th Eugene Review thread

Yerba_Mate — Sun, 20 May 2007 20:22:36 GMT

Hey family -

I wanted to extend my appologies for not being able to make it to this gathering. I was slotted to bring lights/lasers/deco... But allas I awoke saturday morning and thought I was going to die! I had the worst back spasm I have ever had. I could not even lay down and be at peace. It was like I was trapped in my body of pain. So after some long n' hard contemplation I decided to no go out. I had to draw the line.

But It meant that I would not be able to bring the magic Luke had asked me to out to this event. So if it looked sparse out there... it was no ones lack of planning or ability to manifest...

Sorry Luke and Crew for not coming though... I feel bad but at the same time realized I made the right choice cus today I feel alot better.

I am sure the party went off even without lasers and lights....
toonie was there right?

Love you all

Mate'

bedouin — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 22:33:36 GMT

4 Chicchan, 3 Ceh, 2 Ik

Selamat Balik! We return, dear Hearts, with more information for you! Our Earth allies continue with the wrapping up of those tasks that are to bring you your promised prosperity funds. Also, those elements of the American government covertly assigned the most difficult mission of ousting the present illicit administration are finally ready to carry out this task as soon as the necessary preliminaries are over. Moreover, we can report that the mechanisms are in place to move fiscal responsibilities from the Federal Reserve to the Treasury and that the new Treasury Bank is now actually operational, albeit "under camouflage." Indeed, the fiscal and currency policies of the American government have temporarily been bifurcated into an overt operation (the Federal Reserve) and a covert one (the Treasury Bank), the latter being secretly in charge of most "key" fiscal pronouncements. The exceptions to this new arrangement are the so-called anti-terrorist decrees coming directly from the White House. The ongoing secret struggle has reached a point where the removal of this US regime is the only workable option.

To accomplish this, this global mission set up special Earth-ally task forces outside of the US with headquarters in Europe and in East Asia. These three bases are linked by a high-tech communications system supplied by the Galactic Federation, which allows everyone to talk to each other, engage in conference calls, and send important data streams outside the interception range of the world's intelligence agencies. This assistance has greatly helped the mission to stay on course by being able to set up the code criteria needed to carry out this project successfully. We are confident that the first series of steps is very close to manifesting in your media. That this entire operation has remained both clandestine and efficient is an emphatic tribute to those brave souls who deeply believe in what they are doing. This will permit your world to alter, which will then allow us to be formally introduced to you. First contact becomes more viable every day because of their steadfast activities. We ask you to stay patient and in favor of their complex and difficult undertaking on behalf of the peoples of your world and us.

A key aspect of our mission so far involves support and encouragement. We gladly lend whatever experience and expertise our Earth allies may need. We also brief, on a weekly basis, selected representatives of your world's governments on those aspects influencing your readiness for first contact. First contact requires that those who rule your world become fully aware that this event is not only inevitable but also quite close. Further, your world requires a steady diet of serious warnings about the destructive use of nuclear energy, especially since the dangers of the present nuclear age can so easily be converted into peaceful use. Also, many suppressed technologies seized by various governments under the veil of national security can be returned to the world to end your current energy crisis. The continuing refusal of your governments to do so appalls us: If your governments so wished, your poverty and pollution problems could be permanently solved. This makes it essential to implement, as soon as possible, the splendid line-up of programs drawn up by our Earth allies to enable you to be ready for our arrival.

First contact is above all a psychosocial phenomenon. Closing the gap between where you are at present and where you need to be for this event is a continuing task for us. Preparing you for this new reality will require a great deal of preliminary training. You are on a path composed of mandatory, interrelated steps set out by Heaven and the divine plan. As your consciousness grows, your search for answers about the meaning of life spirals upward and opens you up to possibilities that previously would not have occurred to you, or that you would have considered illogical. Now, however, your expanded body of knowledge allows you to rethink many of your most cherished precepts. This has led to many of you accepting the fact that we exist and that we are here to complete a divine mission based on benevolence and the desire to tell you about the wonders of full consciousness. We thank the Divine for this wonderful plan!

This plan is proceeding at a pace designed to allow you, as a global population, to adjust to a great deal of change. The complex web of control and manipulation set up by the Anunnaki, and then reinforced by their on-planet minions, will require extensive recasting. It includes your history, philosophical and religious beliefs, and your myriad cultural conditionings. Such sweeping change in the short period allowed us is no easy matter, and yet the process already underway under the aegis of the Divine is wondrously preparing you for what lies ahead. We watch carefully as Heaven alters your RNA/DNA, introduces new charkas into your physical energy systems, and opens you up to new mental, emotional, and spiritual prospects. These things raise your ability to perceive us as your long-forgotten family in spite of the foolish propaganda spread by the world's mass entertainment media. The key is to keep focused on what you know is truly going on, rather than be distracted by erroneous offerings.

Our operation relies on your growing acceptance that a great change is underway. This inner knowing of yours enormously aids our cause. Your scrutiny of our presence reveals to you that our actions are not merely benevolent, but beneficial to Mother Earth and to you. This growing realization lies at the core of a proactive paradigm shift in favor of first contact. Each day, we see this movement gaining more adherents across your globe, and this evidence of your acceptance of us sincerely touches our personnel. First contact is to deliver you to the next level of your conscious existence, and it is in this state of Beingness that you will be able to interact with those sentient Beings who reside beneath you in inner Earth and in the untold vastness of the galaxy that surrounds you.

First contact, in short, represents a level of attainment in your growth in consciousness. It is a sign that you have graduated from your present reality's limitations to a higher and more expanded one. In accordance with this, we tailor our contributions to support, in all ways permitted to us, your current development which the Divine is now exponentially accelerating. This means that this next step is approaching rapidly. Your destiny is to soar over your present troubles and to forge a galactic society of some consequence. This society is destined to lead us to things that have long been prophesied by many of our more illustrious forbearers. And it is this, amongst other things, that inspired us to dispense with the usual protocols and to sanction this present, unique first contact mission.

Your first contact has reached the moment where it is to be manifested. Events are moving fast to free you from a series of overwhelming disasters most of you consider to be inevitable. But contrary to appearances, you, as a species, are not on the brink of dying, but on the point of your return to full consciousness. A crucial point here is to keep seeing your true and glorious future and not to lend any power to the dark's desire for your demise. Those now in power on your world know for a fact their game is up and are frantic for you not to discover this truth. Be aware that this next period can dispirit you if you let it; instead, be in joy in the knowledge the time comes to slip into the reality of your great potential now manifesting. As spring follows winter, you are fated to burst into the bloom of who you truly are. Know, Together, We are Victorious!

Today, we continued our discussion of the present day and of those events ready to manifest before you. Always bear in mind that you are a truly powerful and magnificent Being cast temporarily into physicality by the divine plan of a most Loving Creator! We now take our leave. Know in your Heart of Hearts that the perpetual Supply and infinite Abundance of Heaven are indeed Yours! Selamat Majon! Selamat Kasitaram! (Sirian for Rejoice! and Be Blessed in Heavenly Love and Joy!)

Stolen bags

modcam — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 22:39:42 GMT

I just wanted to voice a concern over the theft of several backpacks that occurred at the mythicall fundraiser party. At least two bags were stolen that I know of, and it disappoints me that not everybody in this community can be trusted. Sure, these parties are full of well-intentioned people, but I think the rampant substance abuse attracts many undesirables that will take advantage of anybody who lets their guard down. Just take heed and guard your valuables, it's sad, but true.

defining the fabric of time and space (verbaetum manuscript)

Justin — Sun, 26 Nov 2006 08:56:06 GMT

BRIAN GREENE: Imagine that we were able to control space or control time. The kinds of things that we'd be able to do would be amazing. I might be able to go from here...to here...to here...to here...and over to here in only an instant.

Now, we all think that this kind of trip would be impossible. And it probably is. But in the last few years, our ideas about the true nature of space and time have been going through some changes. And things that used to seem like science fiction are looking not-so-far-fetched.

It's all thanks to a revolution in physics called "string theory," which is offering a whole new perspective on the inner workings of the universe.

JOSEPH LYKKEN (Fermilab): String theory holds out the promise that we can really understand questions of why the universe is the way it is at the most fundamental level.

DAVID GROSS (University of California, Santa Barbara): String theory is really the Wild West of physics.

MICHAEL B. GREEN (University of Cambridge): This is an area of theoretical physics which is so radically different from anything that's been before.

BRIAN GREENE: This radical new theory starts with a simple premise: that everything in the universe, the Earth, these buildings, even forces like gravity and electricity, are made up of incredibly tiny, vibrating strands of energy called "strings."

And small as they are, strings are changing everything we thought we knew about the universe, especially our ideas about the nature of space.

To see how, let's first shrink all of space to a more manageable size. Imagine that the whole universe consisted of nothing more than my hometown, Manhattan. So now, just one borough of New York City makes up the entire fabric of space.

And just for kicks, let's also imagine that I'm the CEO of a large corporation with offices on Wall Street. And because time is money, I need to find the quickest route from my apartment, here in upper Manhattan to my offices in lower Manhattan.

Now, we all know that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, but even if there's no traffic—a bit of a stretch even in our imaginary Manhattan—it'll still take us some amount of time to get there. By going faster and faster, we can reduce the travel time. But because nothing can go faster than the speed of light, there is a definite limit to how much time we can cut from our journey.

This Manhattan Universe fits with an old, classical vision of space, basically a flat grid that's static and unchanging. But when Albert Einstein looked at the fabric of space, he saw something completely different. He said that space wasn't static; it could warp and stretch.

And there could even be unusual structures of space called "wormholes." A wormhole is a bridge or tunnel that can link distant regions of space, in effect, a cosmic shortcut. In this kind of universe, my commute would be a New Yorker's dream.

But there's a hitch: to create a wormhole, you've got to rip or tear a hole in the fabric of space. But can the fabric of space really rip? Can this first step toward forming a wormhole actually happen? Well, you can't answer these questions on an empty stomach.

Turns out that by looking at my breakfast—coffee and a doughnut—we can get a pretty good sense of what string theory says about whether the fabric of space can tear.

Imagine that space is shaped like this doughnut. You might think that it would be very different from a region of space shaped like this coffee cup. But there's a precise sense in which the shape of the doughnut and the coffee cup are actually the same, just a little disguised. You see, they both have one hole. In the doughnut it's in the middle and in the coffee cup it's in the handle. That means we can change the doughnut into the shape of a coffee cup and back again without having to rip or tear the dough at all.

Okay, but suppose you want to change the shape of this doughnut into a very different shape, a shape with no holes. The only way to do that is to tear the doughnut like this and then re-shape it.

Unfortunately, according to Einstein's laws, this is impossible. They say that space can stretch and warp, but it cannot rip. Wormholes might exist somewhere fully formed, but you could not rip space to create a new one, over Manhattan or anywhere else. In other words, I can't take a wormhole to work.

But now string theory is giving us a whole new perspective on space, and it's showing us that Einstein wasn't always right. To see how, let's take a much closer look at the spatial fabric.

If we could shrink down to about a millionth of a billionth of our normal size, we'd enter the world of quantum mechanics, the laws that control how atoms behave. It's the world of light and electricity and everything else that operates at the smallest of scales. Here, the fabric of space is random and chaotic. Rips and tears might be commonplace. But if they were, what would stop a rip in the fabric of space from creating a cosmic catastrophe?

Well, this is where the power of strings comes in. Strings calm the chaos. And as a single string dances through space, it sweeps out a tube. The tube can act like a bubble that surrounds the tear, a protective shield with profound implications. Strings actually make it possible for space to rip.

Which means that space is far more dynamic and changeable than even Albert Einstein thought. So does that mean that wormholes are possible? Will I ever be able to take a stroll on Everest, grab a baguette in Paris and still make it back to New York in time for my morning meeting?

It would be kind of cool, though it's still a very distant possibility.

But one thing that is certain is that string theory is already showing us that the universe may be a lot stranger than any of us ever imagined. For example, string theory says we're surrounded by hidden dimensions, mysterious places beyond the familiar three-dimensional space we know.

AMANDA PEET: People who've said that there were extra dimensions of space, have been labeled as, you know, crackpots or people who are bananas. I mean, what, do you think there are extra dimensions? Well, string theory really predicts it.

BRIAN GREENE: What we think of as our universe could just be one small part of something much bigger.

SAVAS DIMOPOULOS: Perhaps we live on a membrane, a three-dimensional membrane that floats inside higher dimensional space.

BRIAN GREENE: There could be entire worlds right next to us, but completely invisible.

NIMA ARKANI-HAMED (Harvard University): These other worlds would, in a very literal sense, be, be parallel universes. This isn't a particularly exotic or, or strange notion.

BRIAN GREENE: No wonder physics students are lining up to explore the strange world of string theory.

SHELDON LEE GLASHOW: String theory is very active. Things are happening. There are a lot of people doing it. Most of the young kids, given the choice, at a ratio of something like ten to one, they will go into string theory.

BRIAN GREENE: But strings weren't always this popular. The pioneers of string theory struggled for years, working alone on an idea that nobody else believed in. Here's the gist of it: for decades, physicists believed that the tiniest bits inside an atom were point particles. Flying around the outside were the electrons, and inside were protons and neutrons which were made up of quarks. But string theory says that what we thought were indivisible particles are actually tiny, vibrating strings.

BURT OVRUT (University of Pennsylvania): It's nothing really mystical. It's a really tiny string. It either closes in to its little circle or it has end points, but it's just a little string.

BRIAN GREENE: In the 1980s, the idea caught on, and people started jumping on the string bandwagon.

MICHAEL B. GREEN: Well, the fact that suddenly all these other people were working in the field had its advantages and its disadvantages. It was wonderful to see how rapidly the subject could develop now, because so many people were working on it.

BRIAN GREENE: One of the great attractions of strings is their versatility. Just as the strings on a cello can vibrate at different frequencies, making all the individual musical notes, in the same way, the tiny strings of string theory vibrate and dance in different patterns, creating all the fundamental particles of nature. If this view is right, then put them all together and we get the grand and beautiful symphony that is our universe.

What's really exciting about this is that it offers an amazing possibility. If we could only master the rhythms of strings, then we'd stand a good chance of explaining all the matter and all the forces of nature, from the tiniest subatomic particles to the galaxies of outer space. This is the potential of string theory, to be a unified "Theory of Everything."

But, at first sight, in our enthusiasm for this idea, we seem to have gone too far. Because we didn't produce just one string theory, or even two—we somehow managed to come up with five.

MICHAEL DUFF (University of Michigan): Five different string theories, each competing for the title of the Theory of Everything.

BURT OVRUT: And if there's going to be a "The Fundamental Theory of Nature," there ought to be one of them.

AMANDA PEET: I suppose a number of string theorists thought, "Ah, that's fantastic. That's wonderful. And maybe one of these will end up being the right theory of the world." And yet, there must have been a little nagging voice at the back of the head that said, "Well, why are there five?"

BRIAN GREENE: With five competing players, the stage of string theory was looking a little crowded. The five theories had many things in common. For example, they all involved vibrating strings, but their mathematical details appeared to be quite different. Frankly, it was embarrassing. How could this unified Theory of Everything come in five different flavors?

This was a case where more was definitely less. But then something remarkable happened. This is Ed Witten. He's widely regarded as one of the world's greatest living physicists, perhaps even Einstein's successor.

MICHAEL B. GREEN: Ed Witten is a very special person in the field. He clearly has a grasp, particularly of the underlying mathematical principles, which is far greater than most other people.

JOSEPH POLCHINSKI (University of California, Santa Barbara): Well, you know, we all think we're very smart; he's so much smarter than the rest of us.

BRIAN GREENE: In 1995, string theorists from all over the world gathered at the University of Southern California for their annual conference. Ed Witten showed up at Strings 95 and rocked their world.

EDWARD WITTEN (Institute for Advanced Study): I was really trying to think of something that would be significant for the occasion. And actually, since five string theories was too many, I thought I would try to get rid of some of them.

BRIAN GREENE: To solve the problem, Witten constructed a spectacular new way of looking at string theory.

JOSEPH POLCHINSKI: Ed announced that he had thought about it, and moreover, he had solved it. He was going to tell us the solution to every string theory in every dimension, which was an enormous claim, but coming from Ed it was not so surprising.

BRIAN GREENE: The atmosphere was electric because, all of a sudden, string theory, which had been going through a kind of doldrums, was given an incredible boost, a shot in the arm.

LEONARD SUSSKIND (Stanford University): Ed Witten gave his famous lecture. And he said a couple of words that got me interested...and for the rest of the lecture...I got hooked up on the first few words that he said, and completely missed the point of his lecture.

NATHAN SEIBERG (Institute for Advanced Study): I remember I had to give the talk after him, and I was kind of embarrassed to.

JOSEPH LYKKEN: Ed Witten just blew everybody away.

BRIAN GREENE: Ed Witten blew everybody away because he provided a completely new perspective on string theory. From this point of view, we could see that there weren't really five different theories. Like reflections in a wall of mirrors, what we thought were five theories turned out to be just five different ways of looking at the same thing. String theory was unified at last.

Witten's work sparked a breakthrough so revolutionary that it was given it's own name, "M-theory," although no one really knows what the M stands for.

S. JAMES GATES, JR.: Aah, what is the M for?

BURT OVRUT: M-theory.

STEVEN WEINBERG (University of Texas at Austin): M-theory.

DAVID GROSS: M-theory.

JOSEPH LYKKEN: M-theory.

GARY HOROWITZ (Institute for Advanced Study): The M-theory.

STEVEN WEINBERG: M-theory is a theory...

BURT OVRUT: I don't actually know what the M stands for.

STEVEN WEINBERG: Well, the M has...

BURT OVRUT: I've heard many descriptions.

STEVEN WEINBERG: Mystery theory, magic theory...

JOSEPH LYKKEN: It's the Mother theory.

STEVEN WEINBERG: Matrix theory.

LEONARD SUSSKIND: Monstrous theory? I don't know what it...I don't know what Ed meant.

EDWARD WITTEN: M stands for magic, mystery or matrix, according to taste.

SHELDON LEE GLASHOW: I suspect that the "M" is an upside down "W" for "Witten."

EDWARD WITTEN: Some cynics have occasionally suggested that M may also stand for "murky," because our level of understanding of the theory is, in fact, so primitive. Maybe I shouldn't have told you that one.

BRIAN GREENE: Whatever the name, it was a bombshell. Suddenly everything was different.

JOSEPH LYKKEN: There was a lot of panic, if you like, realizing that big things were happening, and all of us not wanting to get left behind in this new revolution of string theory.

BRIAN GREENE: After Witten's talk, there was renewed hope that this one theory could be the theory to explain everything in the universe. But there was also a price to pay.

Before M-theory, strings seemed to operate in a world with 10 dimensions. These included one dimension of time, the three familiar space dimensions, as well as six extra dimensions, curled up so tiny that they're completely invisible.

GARY HOROWITZ: Well, we think these extra dimensions exist because they come out of the equations of string theory. Strings need to move in more than three dimensions. And that was a shock to everybody, but then we learned to live with it.

BRIAN GREENE: But M-theory would go even further, demanding yet another spatial dimension, bringing the grand total to 11 dimensions.

BURT OVRUT: We know that there would have to be 11 dimensions for this theory to make sense. So there must be 11 dimensions. We only see three plus one of them. How is that possible?

BRIAN GREENE: For most of us, it's virtually impossible to picture the extra, higher dimensions: I can't. And it's not surprising. Our brains evolved sensing just the three spatial dimensions of everyday experience. So how can we get a feel for them?

One way is to go to the movies.

THEATER BRIAN GREENE: We're all familiar with the real world having three spatial dimensions. That is, anywhere I go, I can move left-right, back-forth, or up-down.

MOVIE SCREEN BRIAN (on screen): But in the movies, things are a bit different. Even though the characters on a movie screen look three-dimensional, they actually are stuck in just two dimensions. There is no back-forth on a movie screen, that's just an optical illusion.

To really move in the back-forth dimension, I'd have to step out of the screen. And sometimes moving into a higher dimension can be a useful thing to do.

MOVIE SCREEN BRIAN GREENE (in theater): So dimensions all have to do with the independent directions in which you can move. They're sometimes called "degrees of freedom."

THEATER BRIAN GREENE: The more dimensions or degrees of freedom you have, the more you can do.

MOVIE SCREEN BRIAN GREENE (in theater): That's right.

BRIAN GREENE: And if there really are 11 dimensions, then strings can do a lot more, too.

BURT OVRUT: People found, fairly soon, that there were objects that lived in these theories, which weren't just strings, but were larger than that. They actually looked like membranes or surfaces.

BRIAN GREENE: The extra dimension Witten added allows a string to stretch into something like a membrane, or a "brane" for short. A brane could be three-dimensional or even more. And with enough energy, a brane could grow to an enormous size, perhaps even as large as a universe.

This was a revolution in string theory.

STEVEN WEINBERG: String theory has gotten much more baroque. I mean now there are not only strings, there are membranes. People go on calling this string theory, but the string theorists are not sure it really is a theory of strings anymore.

BRIAN GREENE: The existence of giant membranes and extra dimensions would open up a startling new possibility, that our whole universe is living on a membrane, inside a much larger, higher dimensional space.

It's almost as if we were living inside...a loaf of bread? Our universe might be like a slice of bread, just one slice, in a much larger loaf that physicists sometimes call the "bulk."

And if these ideas are right, the bulk may have other slices, other universes, that are right next to ours, in effect, "parallel" universes.

Not only would our universe be nothing special, but we could have a lot of neighbors. Some of them could resemble our universe, they might have matter and planets and, who knows, maybe even beings of a sort.

Others certainly would be a lot stranger. They might be ruled by completely different laws of physics. Now, all of these other universes would exist within the extra dimensions of M-theory, dimensions that are all around us. Some even say they might be right next to us, less than a millimeter away.

But if that's true, why can't I see them or touch them?

BURT OVRUT: If you have a brane living in a higher dimensional space, and your particles, your atoms, cannot get off the brane, it's like trying to reach out, but you can't touch anything. It might as well be on the other end of the universe.

JOSEPH LYKKEN: It's a very powerful idea because if it's right it means that our whole picture of the universe is clouded by the fact that we're trapped on just a tiny slice of the higher dimensional universe.

BRIAN GREENE: It is a powerful idea, especially because it may help solve one of the great mysteries of modern science. It has to do with gravity. It's been more than 300 years since Isaac Newton came up with the universal law of gravity, inspired, as the story goes, by seeing an apple fall from a tree. Today, it seems obvious that gravity is a powerful force.

SHELDON LEE GLASHOW: It would seem to most people that gravity is a very important force, it's very strong. It's very hard to get up in the morning, stand up, and when things fall they break because gravity is strong. But the fact of the matter is that it's not strong. It's, it's really a very weak force.

BRIAN GREENE: Gravity pulls us down to the Earth, and keeps our Earth in orbit around the sun. But in fact, we overcome the force of gravity all the time. It's not that hard. Even with the gravity of the entire Earth pulling this apple downward, the muscles in my arm can easily overcome it.

And it's not just our muscles that put gravity to shame. Magnets can do it, too, no sweat. Magnets carry a different force, the electromagnetic force. That's the same force behind light and electricity. It turns out that electromagnetism is much, much stronger than gravity.

Gravity, in comparison, is amazingly weak. How weak? The electromagnetic force is some thousand billion, billion, billion, billion times stronger. That's a one with 39 zeroes following it.

The weakness of gravity has confounded scientists for decades. But now, with the radical world of string theory, filled with membranes and extra dimensions, there's a whole new way to look at the problem.

NIMA ARKANI-HAMED: One way of approaching the question of why gravity is so weak compared to all the other forces, is to turn the question completely on its head, and say, "No, actually gravity isn't very weak. Compared to all the other forces, it just appears to be weak."

BRIAN GREENE: It may be that gravity is actually just as strong as electromagnetism, but for some reason, we can't feel its strength.

SAVAS DIMOPOULOS: Consider a pool table, a very large pool table. Think of the surface of the pool table as representing our three-dimensional universe, although it is just two-dimensional, and think of the billiard balls as representing atoms and other particles that the universe is made out of.

BRIAN GREENE: So here's the wild idea: the atoms and particles that make up stuff in the world around us will stay on our particular membrane, our slice of the universe just as the billiard balls will stay on the surface of the pool table—unless you're a really bad pool player.

But whenever the balls collide, there is something that always seeps off the table, sound waves. That's why I can hear the collision. Now, the idea is that gravity might be like the sound waves, it might not be confined to our membrane. It might be able to seep off our part of the universe.

Or think about it another way. Instead of pool tables, let's go back to bread. Imagine that our universe is like this slice of toast. And that you and me, and all of matter—light itself, everything we see—is like jelly. Now jelly can move freely on the surface of the toast, but otherwise, it's stuck, it can't leave the surface itself.

But what if gravity were different? What if gravity were more like cinnamon and sugar? Now, this stuff isn't sticky at all, so it easily slides right off the surface.

But why would gravity be so different from everything else that we know of in the universe? Well, turns out that string theory, or M-theory, provides an answer. It all has to do with shape.

For years, we concentrated on strings that were closed loops, like rubber bands. But after M-theory, we turned our attention to other kinds. Now we think that everything we see around us, like matter and light, is made of open-ended strings, and the ends of each string are tied down to our three-dimensional membrane.

But closed loops of string do exist, and one kind is responsible for gravity. It's called a graviton. With closed loops, there are no loose ends to tie down, so gravitons are free to escape into the other dimensions, diluting the strength of gravity and making it seem weaker than the other forces of nature.

This suggests an intriguing possibility. If we do live on a membrane and there are parallel universes on other membranes near us, we may never see them, but perhaps we could one day feel them through gravity.

SAVAS DIMOPOULOS: If there happens to be intelligent life on one of the membranes, then this intelligent life might be very close to us. So theoretically, and purely theoretically, we might be able to communicate with this intelligent life by exchanging strong gravity wave sources.

BRIAN GREENE: So who knows? Maybe someday we'll develop the technology and use gravity waves to actually communicate with other worlds.

ALIEN: Ay-yoo-ya.

BRIAN GREENE: Yes, hey, it's Brian. How you doing?

ALIEN: Brian, hoh-ba jubby wah-fa-loo poo-jabba "Simpsons!"

TRANSLATION: I told you never to call me during "The Simpsons!"

BRIAN GREENE: We don't really know if parallel universes could have a real impact on us. But there is one very controversial idea, which says they've already played a major role. In fact, it gives them credit for our existence.

As the classic story goes, the vast universe we see today was once extremely small, unimaginably small. Then, suddenly, it got bigger—a lot bigger—during the dramatic event known as the big bang.

The big bang stretched the fabric of space and set off the chain of events that brought us to the universe we know and love today. But there's always been a couple of problems with the big bang theory. First, when you squeeze the entire universe into an infinitesimally small, but stupendously dense package, at a certain point, our laws of physics simply break down. They just don't make sense anymore.

DAVID GROSS: The formulas we use start giving answers that are nonsensical. We find total disaster. Everything breaks down, and we're stuck.

BRIAN GREENE: And on top of this, there's the bang itself. What exactly is that?

ALAN GUTH: That's actually a problem. The classic form of the big bang theory really says nothing about what banged, what happened before it banged, or what caused it to bang.

BRIAN GREENE: Refinements to the big bang theory do suggest explanations for the Bang, but none of them turn the clock back completely to the moment when everything started.

PAUL STEINHARDT (Princeton University): Most people come at this with the naïve notion that there was a beginning—that somehow space and time emerged from nothingness into somethingness.

BURT OVRUT: Well, I don't know about you, but I don't like nothing. Do I really believe that the universe was a big bang out of nothing? And I'm not a philosopher, so I won't say. But I could imagine to a philosopher, that is a problem. But to a physicist, I think, it's also a problem.

BRIAN GREENE: Everyone admits there are problems. The question is: "Can string theory solve them?" Some string theorists have suggested that the Big Bang wasn't the beginning at all, that the universe could have existed long before even forever. Not everyone is comfortable with the idea.

ALAN GUTH: I actually find it rather unattractive to think about a universe without a beginning. It seems to me that a universe without a beginning is also a universe without an explanation.

BRIAN GREENE: So what is the explanation? What if string theory is right, and we are all living on a giant membrane inside a higher dimensional space?

PAUL STEINHARDT: One of the ideas in string theory that was particularly striking to me, and suggested perhaps a new direction for cosmology, is the idea of branes and the idea of branes moving in extra dimensions.

BRIAN GREENE: Some scientists have proposed that the answer to the Big Bang riddle lies in the movements of these giant branes.

BURT OVRUT: It's so simple. Here's a brane on which we live, and here's another brane floating in the higher dimension. There's absolutely nothing difficult about imagining that these collide with each other.

BRIAN GREENE: According to this idea, some time before the big bang, two branes carrying parallel universes began drifting toward each other, until...

BURT OVRUT: All of that energy has to go somewhere. Where does it go? It goes into the big bang. It creates the expansion that we see, and it heats up all the particles in the universe in this big, fiery mass.

BRIAN GREENE: As if this weren't weird enough, the proponents of this idea make another radical claim: the big bang was not a special event.

They say that parallel universes could have collided, not just once in the past, but again and again—and that it will happen in the future. If this view is right, there's a brane out there right now, headed on a collision course with our universe.

PAUL STEINHARDT: So another collision is coming, and there'll be another big bang. And this will just repeat itself for an indefinite period into the future.

BRIAN GREENE: It's an intriguing idea. Unfortunately, there are a few technical problems.

DAVID GROSS: Well, that was a very ingenious scenario that arose naturally within string theory. However, the good old problems creep back in again.

BRIAN GREENE: The fact is we don't really know what happens when two branes collide. You can wind up with the same situation we had with the Big Bang; the equations don't make sense.

GARY HOROWITZ: They have to make a lot of assumptions in their models, and I don't think they've really solved the problem of the big bang in string theory.

BRIAN GREENE: If string theory is the one true theory of the universe, it will have to solve the riddle of the big bang. And there's a lot of hope that someday string theory will succeed. But for now, there's also a lot of uncertainty. As promising and exciting the theory is, we don't entirely understand it.

DAVID GROSS: It's as if we've stumbled in the dark into a house, which we thought was a two bedroom apartment and now we're discovering is a nineteen-room mansion—at least. And maybe it's got a thousand rooms, and we're just beginning our journey.

BRIAN GREENE: So how sure are we that the universe is the way that string theory describes it? Is the world really made up of strings and membranes, parallel universes and extra dimensions? Is this all science or science fiction?

MICHAEL DUFF: Well, the question we often ask ourselves as we work through our equations is, "Is this just fancy mathematics, or is it describing the real world?'

S. JAMES GATES, JR.: These exercises in our imagination of mathematics are all, at the end of the day, subjected to a single question: "Is it there in the laboratory? Can you find its evidence?"

JOSEPH LYKKEN: String theory and string theorists do have a real problem. How do you actually test string theory? If you can't test it in the way that we test normal theories, it's not science, it's philosophy, and that's a real problem.

BRIAN GREENE: Strings are thought to be so tiny, much smaller than an atom, that there's probably no way to see them directly. But even if we never see strings, we may someday see their fingerprints. You see, if strings were around at the beginning of the universe, when things were really tiny, they would have left impressions or traces on their surroundings. And then, after the big bang, when everything expanded, those traces would have been stretched out along with everything else. So, if that's true, we may someday see the tell-tale signs of strings somewhere in the stars.

But even here on earth there's a chance we can detect evidence of strings. This pasture in Illinois serves as command central for a lot of this research. Well, actually, the real work happens underground where the hunt is on for evidence supporting string theory, including extra dimensions.

JOSEPH LYKKEN: Not too many years ago, people who talked about large extra dimensions would have been considered crackpots, to put it lightly.

BRIAN GREENE: But all that has changed, thanks to string theory.

This is Fermilab, and right now, it's our best hope for proving that extra dimensions are real. Fermilab has a giant atom smasher. Here's how it works: scientists zap hydrogen atoms with huge amounts of electricity. Later, they strip them of their electrons and send the protons zooming around a four mile circular tunnel beneath the prairie. Just as they're approaching the speed of light, they are steered into collisions with particles whizzing in the opposite direction.

Most collisions are just glancing blows, but occasionally there's a direct hit. The result is a shower of unusual subatomic particles. The hope is that among these particles will be a tiny unit of gravity, the graviton.

Gravitons, according to string theory, are closed loops, so they can float off into the extra dimensions. The grand prize would be a snapshot of a graviton at the moment of escape.

MARIA SPIROPULU (Fermilab): And then the graviton goes to the extra dimension, and then it shows in the detector by its absence. You see it by its absence.

BRIAN GREENE: Unfortunately, Fermilab hasn't yet "seen" the vanishing graviton. And the pressure is on, because another team is hot on the same trail. Four thousand miles away, on the border of France and Switzerland, a lab called CERN is constructing an enormous new atom smasher. When it's finished, it will be seven times more powerful than Fermilab's.

JOSEPH LYKKEN: There's a great sense of urgency that every minute has to count, but eventually, CERN, our rival laboratory, will frankly blow us out of the water.

BRIAN GREENE: CERN will blow Fermilab out of the water, not only in the search for extra dimensions, but other wild ideas.

At the top of the "to do" list for both labs is the hunt for something called "supersymmetry," that's a central prediction of string theory. And it says, in a nutshell, that for every subatomic particle we're familiar with, like electrons, photons, and gravitons, there should also be a much heavier partner called a "sparticle," which so far no one has ever seen.

Now, because string theory says sparticles should exist, finding them is a major priority.

MARIA SPIROPULU: So, it's a big discovery to find supersymmetry. That's, that's a humongous discovery and, and I think it's a bigger discovery to find supersymmetry than to find life on Mars.

AMANDA PEET: If we were to hear tomorrow that supersymmetry was discovered, there would be parties all over the planet.

BRIAN GREENE: The problem is, if they exist, the sparticles of supersymmetry are probably incredibly heavy, so heavy that they may not be detected with today's atom smashers. The new facility at CERN will have the best chance, once it's up and running in several years, but that won't stop the folks at Fermilab from trying to find them first.

MARIA SPIROPULU: The competition is, is friendly and fierce at the same time. We're competing like bad dogs, essentially. It has always been like that, and it will always be like that.

JOSEPH LYKKEN: We have to make sure that we don't make any mistakes, that we do absolutely the best we can do at these experiments and take advantage of what is really one of the great golden opportunities for discovery.

BRIAN GREENE: If we do find sparticles, it won't prove string theory, but it will be really strong circumstantial evidence that we're on the right track. Over the next 10 to 20 years, the new generation of atom smashers is sure to uncover surprising truths about the nature of our universe.

But will it be the universe predicted by string theory? What if we don't find sparticles? Or extra dimensions? What if we never find any evidence that supports this weird new universe filled with membranes and tiny vibrating strings? Could string theory, in the end, be wrong?

MICHAEL DUFF: Oh yes, it's certainly a logical possibility that we've all been wasting our time for the last twenty years and that the theory is completely wrong.

JOSEPH LYKKEN: There have been periods of many years where all of the smart people, all of the cool people, were working on one kind of theory, moving in one kind of direction, and even though they thought it was wonderful, it turned out to be a dead end. This could happen to string theory.

BRIAN GREENE: Even though there's no real evidence yet, so much of string theory just makes so much sense; a lot of us believe it's just got to be right.

STEVEN WEINBERG: I don't think it's ever happened that a theory that has the kind of mathematical appeal that string theory has turned out to be entirely wrong. I would find it hard to believe that that much elegance and mathematical beauty would simply be wasted.

GARY HOROWITZ: I don't really know how close we are to the end. You know, are we almost there in having the complete story? Is it going to still be another ten years? Nobody knows. But I think it's going to keep me busy for a long time.

JOSEPH LYKKEN: We have been incredibly lucky. Nature has somehow allowed us to unlock the keys to many fundamental mysteries already. How far can we push that? We won't know until we, until we try.

BRIAN GREENE: A century ago, some scientists thought they had pretty much figured out the basic laws of the universe. But then Einstein came along and dramatically revised our views of space and time and gravity. And quantum mechanics unveiled the inner workings of atoms and molecules, revealing a world that's bizarre and uncertain.

So, far from confirming that we had sorted it all out, the 20th century showed that every time we looked more closely at the universe, we discovered yet another unexpected layer of reality.

As we embark on the 21st century, we're getting a glimpse of what may be the next layer: vibrating strings, sparticles, parallel universes and extra dimensions. It's a breathtaking vision, and in a few years, experiments may begin to tell us whether some of these ideas are right or wrong.

But, regardless of the outcome, we'll keep going, because, well, that's what we do. We follow our curiosity. We explore the unknown. And a hundred or a thousand years from now, today's view of the cosmos may look woefully incomplete, perhaps even quaint. But undeniably, the ideas we call string theory are a testament to the power of human creativity. They've opened a whole new spectrum of possible answers to age-old questions. And with them, we've taken a dramatic leap in our quest to fully understand this elegant universe.

A Calling

Justin — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 12:44:50 GMT

Anyone going to eugene from around southern oregon, i for the most cosmic of reasons need to be at pronoia, it embodies everything i believe in, stand for, i try to spread the word about how our sub atomic vibration is sensitive to the metaphysical manifestations of our mind, i mean gravity is metaphysical in a sense by the definition metaphysical means anything existing between mind (conciousness) and reality and it is the reason our physical laws even exist. It holds us and "physical matter" (which recently discovered doesn't truly exist in the way we thought it did) together. Anyways anyone who is around medford going to pronoia hit me up 541 621 5290 or 413 204 6104, it's a spiritual calling otherwise i wouldn't care. I will mos def get down with the kick down if you can get me to that town, i don't care about getting back, i just need to get there.
blessed be

DJ/ performance opportunity - World Fusion Beat Wed in Eugene, OR

djlayla — Sun, 05 Nov 2006 00:57:11 GMT

Hello all!

I thought I'd put this out there in a few different tribes to see what the interest is in this sort of a night. Recently I have been approached by the owners of the Taboo nightclub in Eugene, OR who are interested in having me program the Wednesday nights of their club. They have given me pretty free reign in what sort of music I would like to present and also to incorporate all sorts of different performers into the night, including fire performers and world fusion dancers.

I'm asking people in Eugene and the surrounding area (Portland, Roseburg, Bend, Ashland, and beyond?) if they would be interested in performing at, DJing at or attending a weekly wednesday night that featured world fusion music and dance performance.

Performers - I am open to all styles of world dance, and have a particular interest in Middle Eastern dance either in traditional or fusions such as tribal fusion or ATS style improv., but I would also love to work with Bhangra, African, Balinese or really whatever people would like to present that has a worldly flair.

DJs - If you are already a world music DJ, great, and if not, I'd still love to have you come and play a world-beat-inspired set. I really feel that the drive behind this night is to unite communities in recognizing that the way we groove isn't all that different no matter where in the world you come from.

If you're interested in performing or DJing at an event like this please email me at layla@djlayla.com as I am compiling a list of possible performers. If this sounds like something you'd like to attend, just give a shout out and a little encouragement. I'm excited for the opportunity, and with the help of the community, I know it could become a special place for us to groove.

Thanks in advance!
"DJ" Layla

disturbing behavior @ the full moon party.

joe — Sun, 08 Oct 2006 19:49:44 GMT

So, saturday night while enjoying the festivites & music I was disturbed by the outright negative behavior of a few people. Having been a veteran of underground events for sometime now, I thought that what I overheard was not only demoralizing, but just an outright shame & embarrasment that I coudl possibly be asociated with a group of individuals who were purposly bringing in a negative vibe. Let me describe to all what happened. Just to let everybody know- I am staying anonymous so I do not get mixed into this person(s) drama.

I was standing by the fire when a group of individuals (one wearing glasses, obviously on his own trip) approached a small group of people who were hangin out nest to me. This one person with the glasses approached one l=young lady and asked if she was hangin out with so&so. She replied yes, and then this person proceded to go on a rant on how bad this person was, how much of a thief this person was, hwo this person will "rip you off" and how she should "watch her back" when hangin out with so & so. ( i am not goin to say this persons name to save him the embarrasment). Then this person's friends procedded to give a nod of approval as the guy in the glasses started shouting "so & so is a thief!" and other explentatives at the top of his lungs. It was at this point that I felt disgusted with this offensive behavior, the total lack or respect for the positive vibe everybody was enjoying & not to mention the fact that it made this guy look like a total ass in front of his friends, possibly even his girlfriend.
Reguardless, I do not know if this person deserved the bad mouthing or not, however I do know that there is a time & a place for everything, and that was neither the time nor the place for this individual to publicly voice his dislike for this said person. I do not feel liek this person had any right to mess up my night. with his negative attitude. I left shortly after, feeling uncomfortable due to what I had just experienced.
My whole attitude on the situation is this, please if you ahve a beef with someone, don;t bring it to a place that is supposed to be free of negativity. This person obviously was not respectful of other people around (like myself) who were subjected to the spectacle of this guy going on a drug induced rant to a bunch of people that he obviously did not know. The underground events here in this town do not need a person like this atending thier events with such a negative attitude.
I do not know either parties involved in this, nor do I want to. I just wanted to bring up that fact that this kind of behavior should not be practiced at an event. If you have a problem with someone, talk to that person like an adult. Don't ruin my night ( and others) becasue of your drama.
If any of you know this guy with the glasses, tell him that this kind of stuff is not wanted nor warranted in our scene here in Eugene. We have a peacefull vibe that is full of love & light & I for one want to see it remain that way.

Namaste'

Help me out Eugene Friends

MicheleDLC — Fri, 27 Oct 2006 06:27:01 GMT

Some one near and dear to me is coming into town, and they need some under-the-table work! Meaning, not a standard job with a paycheck, but anything to earn a little extra dough! So if you know anyone paying for some house cleaning, moving, labor, ANYTHING, please let me know. He's a super good worker, intelligent, and a quick learner. You would really be helping him AND me out by helping us in this search. Thanks for you support!

lost bag at full moon party

michaelblanco — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 00:17:08 GMT

When I got home this morning I realized I left my bag out at the party. If you can help me get it back I'd much appreciate it ( I has some important stuff in it including a check book ).

Its a blue Timbuktu bike messenger bag with some shiny fringy stuff on the side. I left it by the base of the hyperbolic black light thing.

Thanks!

Word of Mouth - Thanks!

Jeigh — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 22:42:20 GMT

I posted this to Eugene Events as well, but Gaia Tribe and FourC have played such a crucial role in my ability to step into the Eugene (and Northwest in general) scene that I wanted to make sure you guys saw it:

Hey guys,

So my first summer doing Word of Mouth in Eugene has drawn to a close.

I just wanted to extend my gratitude to all of the people who helped make Word happen this summer. Everyone contributed their time, equipment, and energy to help represent the Eugene underground in a money-free environment. Whether you donated sound, generators, transportation, DJ skills, or your very energy just by attending, I can't thank you enough.

The original plan was to have four events this summer. Unfortunately, due to time and budgetary limitations, the fourth Word of Mouth never saw fruition. I hope you can forgive me.

Luckily, free parties have a Money-Back Guarantee. :)

By the way, I'm still seeking local artists and designers who would like to contribute their time to help create a visual representation for Word. Contact me for further details.

On another note: I'm looking take things indoors (monthly?) this winter and having smaller $5.00 gatherings to help defray the cost of next summer's debauchery. I'm looking for smaller venues with a coffee shop, and potentially a beer/wine license (no hard alcohol whatsoever), willing to host an all-ages crowd. Ideally not too close to downtown so that we can keep off-the-street presence to a minimum. If you have any insight, please contact me.

Thank you again for a summer of bass, beats, and insanity.

I can't wait to do it again.

Cheers,
--Jeigh

We're leaving next week!

crimsonslumber — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 18:30:00 GMT

For those of you in Eugene, we're going to be leaving Wednesdayish. We're thinking we should just have everyone come down to see us at Indigo District on Monday night. So... If you're in Eugene and want to see us before we leave, come to Indigo District on monday night. I would suggest a house instead so kids can come, but ours is out and I have no clue how many people would stop by.

We'd LOVE to see you.. If you can't make it Monday night then call us or message me here to see if there's a time we can hang...

Blessings,
Lyra

Hello everyone!!

I'm so excited about this that I had to post here. We had them out at Faerieworlds for a short time, and got much acclaim! I'm totally in love with the name, too. heh.

I think the thing I'm most happy about is the Goblin Repellant Spray. It's for kids to spray under beds and in closets to keep the beasties away! :D

Check it out, I just made a tribe and posted some pics... http://tribes.tribe.net/augustmoon

Question to Friends

MicheleDLC — Sun, 30 Jul 2006 00:45:10 GMT

I am getting a kitty from the Humane society. I most likely have some one to watch it for Metapoesis and Burning Man, but I would like backup sitters if possible. I've heard of a few people I know not going to Burning Man, don't know about Metap. Could anyone who's interested in helping me look after an adorable kitty please let me know?

Thanks
Michele

thursday night party

Fri, 21 Jul 2006 11:14:50 GMT

I just wanted to formally thank everyone who attended the Thursday night party @ Molly’s house. I came in expecting a low-key gathering, with a bit of music in the background, maybe even myself messing around on CDJs for the first time. What I was met with, however, was a real party; everyone wanted something to dance to. I just wanted to thank everyone not just for inviting me in, as you all always do, but also for consuming me with all of the energy in that house. Thank you for giving me your collective energies so that I could channel it all back to you with my music. I had a lot of fun, just like everyone else involved-- I had a great time and I am proud to represent fourC because that means I am representing all of you.

Strange how good house parties often are.

Peas,
Eric

I will be doing a cooking thing for my New Culture summer camp from 27 July to 20 August. There are folks temporarily living in my back house, but I need someone to watch over this space. It would be to see that the border collies get out in the AM, and back in at night, to feed em, and just generally keep it safe here. You don't have to stay here, but could... Details to anyone who thinks they can do it.
