...Tucci), a revered New Yorker writer, published an article about Joe Gould (Ian Holm), a Greenwich Village Bohemian who claimed to be writing a history of the world millions of words long. Twenty-two years later, Mitchell admitted that Gould's manuscript, except for a few fragments, didn't exist. Thereafter Mitchell could be heard typing in his office every day, but he never published another word. There's a great story here, but Tucci's literate, civilized, wistful movie lacks savage impulse and refuses to show how mutual exploitation led to minor tragedy...
...over how that story is to be staged? Or does that power fall to the director, the man or woman who is to bring the playwright's story to life? Is the theater a cousin of literature, where the text retains the right of ultimate authority, or does it exist in a different realm, one where the particulars of visual experience can take precidence over the sacredness of words...
...this campus for survivors of violence to receive the love and care of a large group of their peers--we must also recognize the limitations of the TBTN rally. We cannot be lured into thinking that the experiences and pain that people speak about during the rally do not exist before TBTN, nor can we think that they will end right after the rally. We need to sustain the energy from TBTN after this week to keep on solving the problems that are highlighted; and for the people who speak, we need to sustain the network of support that they...
...first credible suggestion that alternate universes might exist came in the early 1950s when a young physics graduate student named Hugh Everett was toying with some of the more bizarre implications of quantum mechanics. That theory, accepted by all serious physicists, says that the motions of atoms and subatomic particles can never be predicted with certainty; you can tell only where, say, an electron will probably be a millisecond from now. It could quite possibly end up somewhere else...
...that's true, then trillions of these baby universes exist, for that's how many black holes are believed to inhabit our cosmos. And those are just the naturally occurring ones; baby universes could in principle be manufactured as well. M.I.T. physicist Alan Guth realized in the late '80s that you might create a baby universe in the lab from just a few pounds' worth of matter by compressing the stuff to black-hole density...
