through the worm hole

Before I left for Boston I recorded a show called "Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman". Now, if you were in my english class last year, you would know that I have broken like 5 different grammar rules with that sentence, but we're just going to ignore that and move on. Anyway, I just finally got around to- Shoot I just remember that I haven't written anything about going to Boston, eh oh well- watching it right now. Now, when I first recorded it, I actually thought it looked really cool, but I may have also recorded it because it was narrated by Morgan Freeman. I think his narration voice might be why he gets like 80% of his work in the first place. First, Madelyn and I (Cayla) watched this episode about whether or not this is a 6th sense. At the beginning we just discussed what a tragic loss it would be if Morgan Freeman died and how it would probably be bigger than Michael Jackson. But, it was actually really interesting! I don't know a thing about molecular physics or "quantum mechanics" which doesn't even sound like a real thing, but the stuff they were explaining sounded like it could really be true! They managed to bring all this high level theoretical thinking down to regular Cayla level, which is quite a feat within itself. Also, they talk about Einstein a lot, which reminds me how Tony Stark's dad is in Captain America. Whoops, hopefully you've seen it already. If not, it may or may not be a life or death situation that you see it. Okay, so it wasn't that good, but The Avengers isn't going to reach its intended awesomeness (psst it probably will anyway) if you don't see it. Also, Chris Evans is SMOKIN' hot (isn't that a reason within itself?). GO SEE IT.

Oh wait, back to the show. Later we watched another episode about Time. It was questioning if time existed or not. They posed lots of different theories that could explain if humans made up time and if not, how humans started to use time. I'm not going to go into super detail about all of, but there was theory that I liked a lot. This scientist said, that time didn't exist, but life itself was just a series of snapshots played out like a movie at whatever frames per second. That every moment in time never ceased to exist, even before or after we had already experienced it. So say, me watching that show, changing the channel to South Park after it's over, then laughing at Kenny being attacked by velociraptors at a snowed in hospital happened as single snapshots and are still happening within their own little snapshot. They don't go away after I have passed them. The reason I liked it was because all the good things that have happened to me in my life are still happening. I can look back and say, "I'm still being surprised when I got a scooter for Christmas," "I'm still riding The Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland for the first time" or "I'm still laughing hysterically with my friends at a restaurant in Berlin." All of these things are happening in their own little bit of "time." That's totally sweet, right? All the other scientists were like NO WAY and wouldn't let him join in on all their theoretical physics games. But, Morgan told me that they were all fighting about their own theories because they all want to be right. I thought maybe I would go to some super intense college and join in on the debate, but then I got a really bad headache and it hurt to move my head too fast, so I decided against it. But, in all, it's kind of a good though to think that all the happy moments in your life are still going on somewhere, and you are locked in that moment of being happy forever, even if you can't go back to it.

By the way, is velociraptors spelled right up there? I typed it into google and it came up, but the spell check on this thing keeps telling me it's wrong.

Cheers,
Cayla
