Free Lunch

According to Guth, all the matter and radiation visible today in the universe emerged from the colossal energy that was stored in empty space during the inflationary stage.

 

This form of creation ex nihilo he calls the ultimate “free lunch.”

 

The inflationary free lunch is a voyage from minimalism to maximalism: then back again. It shares with conceptualism a cool, detached faith in flatness today; it gravitates toward facile, not outlandish. It doesn't sound as feasible as one might imagine, but it is inspiring stuff - food for thought, at least, next time you find yourself staring absentmindedly at the tab in the chic culinary capital of Great Britain (Cambridge), or somewhere near M.I.T.

Is it a quiz??? :lol:

 

With a certain obvious logic, lost to some modern vegans, inflation is a poor substitute for the skilled shopping of the past. The artificial flavoring added to the free lunch sounds suspiciously harmless and greaseproof (but not weed-proof).

 

However, even when chewed thoroughly, inflation, like superstring spaghetti less than al dente, has little (nothing) to offer: except for a healthy dose of fragmentary dissent and antacid to wash whatever was eaten down. It doesn't stick on my wall.

 

How about on yours?
