God's Mighty 'Tater Chip: The Universal Pringle


"Juan Maldacena at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, has confirmed that the idea is on the right track. He showed that the physics inside a hypothetical universe with five dimensions and shaped like a Pringle is the same as the physics taking place on the four-dimensional boundary."

Gee, Eliot was a prophetic genius, what with that "we are the holo men" riff. He really should get an Ignoble before The Big Crunch. Another Handful
Or, just maybe, the theoretical physicists have gone madder than the hatters of Planet Pepe's Mount Laudanum.

A giant hologram? Maybe Pepe can put it up for sale.

Even better, one of his "bestest artists" could photograph a pringle on a white background, with evocative zoom and zang, call it "Universe". Frame it in pretentious fashion. Sell it for 10,000 bucks to some ninny with madoff cash to burn. That would be a cosmic joke worthy of the epithet.

When physicists use commuting diagrams... Back when PDE were physics and vice versa, there was non of this nonsense.
