The best writer on AN is probably one of the "lurkers", which in this case is a compliment,

these are the members whose names you see in "recently browsing" but never see them posting.

My reasoning is these are folks who are too intelligent to feed the trolls (the majority of AN posters) and just look on with amusement.

Probably among these more intelligent members is the best writer.

 

Your reasoning sounds like another one of those TEAPOT Theories.

You know the ones....

Considering the other GG and me, from a Quantum Perspective, it goes like this:

 

Let us consider the "doppelgänger quantum theory" of the two GGs on TV.....

 

We first need to grasp the fundamental quantum concept of....SUPERPOSITION....

 

What, indeed is superposition?????

 

 

Let us CLARIFY it further...here....

 

 

What this means is that ...... the other GG might be somewhere in the universe, not here, yet still able to post on TV, as me...

 

This is physically equivalent to, for the other GG....what I would call....The ZERO State...

 

Please refer to this fantastic, and truly wonderful, MIT lecture..... (Seriously:  A great lecture.  Tks...MIT....!!!!)

Also....who does not love cats, especially physicists....?

 

 

No cats are ever harmed during thought experiments performed by physicists....unlike what sometimes happens to cats during experiments performed by biologists.

True faith does not require others to share your beliefs.  It may require you to help your neighbours find salvation - If you preach, and they do not listen, that is their damnation, not yours.

Agreed.

Members with dangerously high post-counts wouldn't - with perhaps a few exceptions - even be in contention.

Wit is like urine.  When it's your last sustenance, you don't want to share it with anyone else.

No Christmas Spirit for me yet, if ever. But thinking about making my usual Christmas pudding as I do every year. The Thai family is always very into Christmas. They like the 'Give the pudding a stir before it goes into the steamer, and make the traditional wish.
