Earth trembles begat centipillars?

i was awoken from my late afternoon nap on the couch yesterday by the swaying of walls, the grumbling of the earth, the violent swinging of houseplants, and the sound of things falling from upright, to upside down, onto the hardwood floor. For nearly half a minute I looked at Lula, and she at me, as we sat near paralyzed on the futon, and i thought 'damn, the earth is going to open up and swallow us whole, and make sure we never leave reno'.

Later that afternoon, while sweeping up the debris of white-popcorn paint which had fallen from the ceiling and copulated with dust bunnies and dog fur - i noticed, to absolute humor and horror, at least a dozen dead centipedes or caterpillars curled in various poses of the fetal position - which until the earthshake I had never seen in my house before. What the.....?

E=mc + poptart?

Interesting blog that you laid this morning; however, I believe that you are “borrowing” from the first law of thermodynamics and mixing it with diffusion concepts (Fick’s law). The problems with your thesis begin in the beginning. If I recall correctly, thermodynamics can only be applied to energy, and diffusion is primarily a concentration-driven process confined to gasses and liquids. While you apparently identified a clear transfer of a mix of these ideas to solids, solids act completely differently than energy, liquids and gasses – yes I know that 102% of the human body is a combination of liquids and gasses, but you are still a solid. To prove this point it is easy to see that the water bed would never have been invented if we were not solids.

Despite these errors and the fact that your logic is questionable at best, you do deserve props for trying to develop a new scientific law as you pondered your pop tart. Victor, the scientific community needs more bright minds working creatively on these incredibly important questions to ensure that our modern society continues to not only function but flourish. Therefore I applaud your efforts and will contribute toward your endeavors by pledging $2 toward a box of wine (does that cover an entire box?) for you.
