Re: [Phys-l] Dark Energy as an Entropic Force

[Brian Whatcott <betwys1@sbcglobal.net>]

Bob,

I worry about myself at times. When I read materials from David Bowman
or from you. I marvel that materials couched in a language so like English
are so opaque. I can treat them as works of art, and derive some pleasure
from that fact alone.

But I read your review on Dark Energy as Mirror Entropy below and I 
rejoiced:
not only English, but so near to one's grasp!  
I interpret this, in the ad lingo, as the Ring of Truth!

Bravo!
