| Feelings about .0:
While in college, a professor gave out a suggested reading list,
not to be looked at until 5 years after graduation - so we were
experienced enough in professional and worldly matters to absorb
more of the weight of the books.
In this light, the base note describes what seems like an unreadiness
for reading the book, as perceived by the book. ??

| Please correct me if you mean something else, but how does a
BOOK know when someone is ready to understand its contents or not?

I don't know.
I'm just trying to spur some discussion any way I can because I can't
think of anything to adequately explain this. Maybe I just have
another inexplicable thing in my life that I just have to live with.

| I also have a book entitled "Relativity" by Albert Einstein. I
went through a very similar scenario reading to the point of the
tensor equation and the putting the book down. I haven't looked
at the book in about 5 years. I'll take a look and see if there is
a tensor equation and on what page. Maybe you were reading a different
book 8 years ago.

| I have a book "Relativity" by Albert Einstein, and I don't remember
seeing any Tensor equations, and certainly not on page two...but
I haven't read the book, so maybe I forgot something...I have read
more than the first two pages.
OR, we're all part of a strange space-time warp that had to
do with the event which published that book...
I have other books on Relativity that DO have tensor equations
in them, but...I don't know...

| 265.6 | A PARALLEL UNIVERSE... | EDEN::KLAES | Looking for nuclear wessels. | Fri Dec 19 1986 19:31 | 14 |
| Perhaps the original noter in this topic was somehow jolted
from his slightly alternate parallel universe by an unusual space-time
warp fluctuation in his sector of the Universe, and has been here
for who knows how long without knowing it - until now, when he
discovered that tensor equations were not written by Einstein in
this Universe (I wonder what other subtle changes there are in that
Universe?).
The question is now, how do we get hm back to his own parallel
universe? We cannot wait for another space-time flux, because of
their random behavior. Does anyone know what to do?

| re: .8
That's why I checked out my whole library of books. (I don't
give books away - except for certain paperback science fiction.)
I can't find any two books which may have merged into one memory.
If I could, I would have had my explanation. But I don't. And
unless someone comes up to me and tells me that he "borrowed" a
book of mine without asking and that book happens to be close enough
in title and author to confuse me (sounds unlikely given "Relativity"
and "A. Einstein"), I doubt I'll ever have a solution.
