I’ve been a part of organized hitchhiking for nearly fifteen years, but that’s just one small aspect of my oh-so-large life. Stories give me a way to forget about the sometimes smelly strangers sitting next to me on the fifty mile trek into town (I pick up hitchhikers every day. The horrid commute gives me plenty of time to zone out and think about my characters in full, brilliant details (I’m a safe driver don’t worry). We live just outside Washington, D.C., and every day I wake up to find myself stuck in traffic trying to get there. I’m happily married to the love of my life (don’t gag) and raising three beautiful children in the gorgeous state of Virginia.

Rumpelstiltskin is the hero of this messed up story. He didn’t have to give her 3 nights to guess his name. I think he was saying his name in the woods so the girl wouldn’t have to give up the child. He always shows up just when he’s needed. He seems to know what’s going on around that castle. I think he wanted her to overhear his name. She didn’t have to offer up her child, but she did. Then, this strange little man does a job for you, you agree on payment and then he ends up the bad guy. You were going to kill me, great, let’s get married, you are husband material. He seems like quite the villain to me, but she ends up marrying him.

Over the last century, physicists have learned a lot about which spiritual ideas are still compatible with the laws of nature. Science and religion have the same roots, and they still tackle some of the same questions: Where do we come from? Where do we go to? How much can we know? The area of science that is closest to answering these questions is physics. On the other hand, the idea that the universe itself is conscious is difficult to rule out entirely.Īccording to Sabine Hossenfelder, it is not a coincidence that quantum entanglement and vacuum energy have become the go-to explanations of alternative healers, or that people believe their deceased grandmother is still alive because of quantum mechanics. The notion that there are universes within particles, or that particles are conscious, is ascientific, as is the hypothesis that our universe is a computer simulation. Not only can we not currently explain the origin of the universe, it is questionable we will ever be able to explain it.
