- #1 Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman from NY TIMES Book Review, Jan 3,
- 1993(quotes written by Dennis Overbye):
- "In one dream, a woman is swept back into the past ... huddles in a
- doorway trying not to kick up dust that could alter history."
- She need not have been so careful. It does not matter what she does. The
- universe will be what it will be when she leaves it in future partly
- because she did whatever she did in the past. It's a big globally self-
- consistent loop in time.
-
- "... time moves in a circle ... some unhappy people, sensing they are
- doomed to endless repetitions of their mistakes, fill the night with their
- moans>"
-
- It's Dante's Inferno!
-
- "... cause and effect become disjointed: a woman's heart leaps and week
- later she meets a suitor>"
-
- How romantic! Isn't it great that retarded causality is violated in what
- John Lilly calls "cosmic coincidence control".
-
- "In the acausal world, he gushes, 'each kiss is a kiss of immediacy.'"
-
- Play it again Sam!
