Sorry, I was just kidding around. While it does consist of reasonably
accurate cosmological metaphors, its intent is to seem like nonsense at
first and then lead you into a vague sense that maybe there really IS
something profound out there; that it all isn't just nonsense (which
it is).
The metaphors are a joke with myself. If actual cosmologists were to
read it, they'd probably not get them either. And if I were to explain them,
they'd laugh and tell me: 'You are so FAR from right that you aren't even
wrong' (the last being a reference to a book that was less than impressed
with string theory).
