      Just a thought, but according to the rules of "Just a minute", you must talk for a minute without deviation, repetition or hesitation, then a natural stutterer would win every time...  @Luc Turpin

      I watched a show that said, “We have time so everything doesn’t happen at once.”
       
      But if there is a multiverse where indeed every possibility is happening all at once then our entire life and existence would be how we viewed the multiverse?
       
      I have read a book called The Planiverse. It is about the discovery of a 2D universe. There is much science explaining this 2D universe. But more important than the physics is how the life forms experience life with their world.
       
      That is my profound thought of the day. RSA is no more.

      It is a scientific fact that dogs know calculus. They perform it every day finding the shortest path to retrieve the ball that was thrown. So when Newton claimed to “discover” calculus there was much controversy. Not because Leibniz also claimed to “discover” calculus independently. The dogs were much aware of calculus since dogs have lived. Newton observed the dachshunds that he hunted with. Newton ask the wiener dogs how they knew which hole the badgers would go down. That is: the shortest distance to the hole which would often determine the badger’s direction. These interactions influenced Newton just as much if not more than when the apple hit his head. So the arguments between Newton and Leibniz was trival. It should be stated that calculus originated with the wiener dogs.
