    Mr Einstein said 'imagination is more important than knowledge' but I don't think e=mc2 was an imaginary calculation

      It would add a comma to your question just after the word “logic” to correctly separate its clauses.

    Without any supportive logical procedure I suppose things could go in the wrong direction.

    But there could be a program that might help people to imagine themselves healing from an ailment,  that is to help inspire a placebo effect to occur for them. No logic required.

    Also maybe give an explanation about the baby born September 11 2019 at 9:11 pm weighing 9 lb 11 oz. Unraveling the chaos of chaos theory,  possibilities are almost infinite.  This post was edited by Kittigate at September 18, 2019 8:08 AM MDT

  • Me:  "Alexa, I'm bored.  What's something fun I can do?"

    Alexa:  "Go into your closet and take a sledgehammer to the back wall.  Step through and frolic in the snow of Narnia!"
