Role of Whistles in the Origin of the Cosmos

God and her friends sitting around with "Do Bongs" t-shirts on..."hey man...wanna make a universe?" Just no way.

Are you sure you really understand God and Women? My understanding is that she wore a t-shirt with

Bob's Chicken House
on one the front and

Get fried
on the back.

"Hey godfellers, wouldn't it be cool to have a universe with cars, computers, the internet and stuff like that so that mankind thinks he is pretty smart. Then we could make people think they can play tubes of tin and blow goats up with bits of wood and some reeds in it and listen to them poot and call them uilleann bagpipes? What if we actually made someone believe they could play those things in public? That would be a whole lot more fun and laughs than that other universe with Job in it wouldn't it?

"Just think! Nobody could pronounce it right if we spelled it that way, you think?"

"Hey, listen! That dudess over there is sounding pretty good on that roll of tin!??!!!!??"

Reminds me of the night way down south on the Ba Sac when the Gecko on the ceiling ate too many mosquitos and fell into bed with me and the net. I beat him out of bed that night.

I knew all was right in my universe though when two nights later my pet brown rat, 'Sao' (not Ralph), caught up with the Gecko. I try not to think how its going in those parallel threads.

I think I'll go learn to blow up a goat.

"Yeah...so? You said you wanted 'em in yer' image, dintcha'?"

Holy Writ plainly speaks of the musical nature of creation, "Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" —Job 38:4-7

Personally I think it was better
when it was just God. Apparently
he didn't. Night all.

P. S. I mean, he must see something in it
that I don't, which means there's something
there I don't see. But I've never been
a big fan of the universe.

Ok you tune writers: we need one called Let There Be Light...

Maybe ... Colin Goldie, could make some really mammoth whistles and we could blow enough air through them, we could create a parallel whistle universe and there would be like dinosaurs and other cool stuff. But, I may be wrong about this because my mind is not that "scientific."

Nope, the parallel universe is not going to be created by the ultimate tone, Overton or otherwise, Mister Wisely.

The New Universe,
A work in progress,
The weaving togeather
Of every tune ever played,
Binding and molding the etheral mists
Into the heartland
Each musician yearns for,
Built on the indefiinable that each adds to tune,
Connecting each heart to its essence.

A New Universe where you can ...

There was a man, Moishe, in Chelm, who had always
wanted to visit Minsk, two days walk away. One morning
he packed his bag and set off, telling his family
he'd be back. He walked all day. At dusk he lay down
by the side of the road to sleep. "When I awaken in
the morning, how will I remember which way is
Minsk?' he wondered. 'I know, I'll leave my shoes by the
roadside pointing toward Minsk. In the morning, I'll
get in them and continue...'

During the night a cart dragging a fir tree
down the road to Chelm passed by. The branches of the
tree caught Moshe's shoes, turning them back toward
Chelm. In the morning he woke up, put on his shoes,
and proceeded back toward Chelm, convinced he was
on his way to Minsk.

In the late afternoon, Moishe reached the outskirts
of Chelm. 'My goodness,' he exclaimed. 'The outskirts
of Minsk are just like the outskirts of Chelm!'

As he continued into Chelm he began to recognize
people. ''The people of Minsk look very much like
the people of Chelm,' he observed. People started
greeting him: 'Hey, Moishe, back so soon?'
'There is a man here in Minsk who is my double!
I must go meet him.'

So Moishe went to his house. His wife and children
greeted him. 'No, no, I'm not your Moishe but
another one,' he explained.

'Well, apparently the Moishe of Minsk has gone on
an errand of some sort,' he concluded. 'I'll sit down here
on the wall of the well outside his house, remarkably like
the well outside my house in Chelm, and wait for
him to return.' So he did.

He's still there.

So you see, if space is curved, there are no
parallel universes. If we search for them we
will only return to our own and, if we're not
careful, mistake it for another. Maybe we will,
in travelling so far, really be travelling
backwards (or forwards) in time. The dinosaurs won't be
in a parallel universe; they will be our dinosaurs,
and we must be careful not to mistake travelling
backwards or forwards in time for travelling
to another world.

One is enough. Best

[emmline]

Well, even if there are more, they're still part and parcel of the same thing.

Travelling to another world is not the same thing as travelling to another universe.

No matter how far you travel in space or time, or up or down in dimensions, you are still in our own universe. If it's a place you can travel to at all, you are still by definition in our own universe.

If there are other universes, they are places to which we cannot go at all, no information would pass in either direction between universes.

I know there are considered to be "exceptional" circumstances--read that "unsurvivable circumstances" --under which limited "travel" might be possible between universes, usually involving "tears" in our universe caused by such things as singularities. But even then I would think if you could get information through such a thing, you wouldn't have entered another universe, you would merely have extended our own.

It's the "where ever you go, there you are" thing, all over again.

Something Under the Bed is Drooling!

One of the all-time best cartoon strips!

So, I'm thinking that if someone, maybe Colin Goldie, could make some really mammoth whistles and we could blow enough air through them, we could create a parallel whistle universe and there would be like dinosaurs and other cool stuff.

Judging solely from the posts in Chiff&Fipple, it's obvious that a lot of whistlers already live in an alternative universe!

And we all can communicate via the web despite the usual barrier between alternate universes??? Wow! Maybe there's more to this internet thing than we all orginally thought! Now maybe if we were to flood the internet with whistle music.....

This is true. So what would make another universe
another universe is that there would be no
path to it through time and space. That doesn't
make parallel universes OK, of course.
One is plenty. Thanks

There you go.

Also, does this mean we have to stop calling them Whistles of Mass Destruction and start calling them

Whistles of Mass Creation?
