Your point?
It annoys the hell out of me when people want to put a price on everything. Most things, the really important things, need to be done regardless of the cost.
And it's a sad thing because a lot of people in the world today share this rather small, short-sighted view of the world.
It is the reason our country is so politically divided anymore.
Half of the country says: "Man we have some serious social, environmental and economic issues that need tended to. We should really buckle down and start writing policy to handle these things."
While the other half says: "Even though a fool could see that these problems are a reality, we have discovered that fixing these problems would cost a lot of money. Therefore we will argue that they don't exist... ignoring reality."
Getting back on topic:
We cross over planes of existance daily. 100% of all possible realities are valid, as this is the only way to avoid the "grandfather paradox." Therefore at the point before action of any maniplulation of our environment, either direct or indirect we are at the threshold of an infinate divergance of timelines. Each timeline represents the possible actions and a whole mathmatical cascade of piled-on cause and effect realities. Based on the action that actually occurs (in our reality anyway) we seamlessly pass through into the proper causality branch.
This happens an infinate amount of times every smallest quantifiable passage of time.
So in a sense we are all "sliders". That means that in a sense I am Jerry O'Connell. So I really need to get on the phone with my lawyer about those missing "My Secret Identity" royalities.

Did you really just put the theory of Gravity(sic) next to the theory of quantum mechanics?

Yes, and your point is?

You really really don't think they are different?
What with one being consistently proven and established, and the other being constantly modified, redefined, refined, and reexamined? No difference there?
