On Reflection

Whenever I look into puddles,
Reality just blends and muddles;
Do I see our world's reflected brother,
Or down a
hole

into

another?

Oooo perhaps every puddle is a window to another world! I like! I'm going to be more careful around puddles too!

@naaviie I thinks a possibility we just can't dismiss.

@waynedoz Must be a very wet other world 💦

@overskill it looks like ours as far as I can see. Just upside down.

@overskill @waynedoz perhaps a trained team of explorers is required

@overskill @naaviie good idea. Would we need a sub or skydivers though?

Perhaps both.

@naaviie a flying submarine?

Yes, perfect!

@naaviie and we'd need a hole in it where some kind of stick can reach out and poke things for scientific testing

Hahaha yes - a CLAW!

@waynedoz @naaviie Is it a different world in every puddle? If it is, we would need about 20,000 flying submarines.

@overskill I have no doubt it is. This exploration could take a while 😜

@overskill @naaviie it's that kind of scientific conundrum that this research will be determining. We'll start with one and see. Remember - we DO have a poking stick on board.

True, science is about sampling. We can do one exploratory mission with our flying submarine and poking stick before deciding whether the other, estimated 20,000 worlds, are worth poking too.

@naaviie we'll need some sort of measurement scale for poking. I suggest a rating of 1 to 10. As in "Hmmn.. This shoe is registering a poking factor of 6"

Are you sure a Poking Scale of 1-10 will be enough? I hear grave things from on yonder puddles.

@naaviie @waynedoz We do a way of measuring our poking. But it would need to be very precise. Maybe we could measure it in "Prods". Eg. "This shoe is 6547 prods". On the scale of 1-10, one number is worth a thousand prods (pr. for short).

@naaviie @waynedoz We could have categories of puddles. A puddle measuring 3000/3 out of 10 would be a category 3. Anything over 10000 prods would be a category 10.

@naaviie @overskill I like the way this going. With the gathering of this kind of data, we can bring it back and present it to someone. Maybe Stephen Hawking.

Brilliant stuff. Deeeep, man. 😊😝

@waynedoz @overskill - totally brainy and hawking worthy 😜🎉

Thanks @HeatherAnne :)

@waynedoz @naaviie We should win a Nobel prize.

@naaviie @overskill that's our goal with this project

Woop woop!

@waynedoz where are you? Need more clever and adorable poems 💋 💋

Hi @powpunch I'm easing off the writing really. I may post one here and there but I'm focusing more time on other projects. I'm still checking in most days though :)
