The Earth is Flat Too and so are We

A warm night with a big moon and dry lightening. Went to the dentist in Juarez today. Didn't take long to get a temporary cap, but a long drive. Opposite the dental clinic was a doctor's office. Outside the door a man in a clown/doctor outfit capered about to very loud music and wagged his butt and waved and beckoned in an attempt to get people to come in for a medical evaluation - 'gratis, $20.00' whatever that means. Hard to imagine this scene in the U.S.
When I got home there was the Scientific American telling me that we might all be living in two dimensions in a sort of hologram. Somehow time and gravity were dispatched as well. I'm too tired to read the article with full attention. Then I found out that my lofty words about life on Earth being some billions year old chemical accident must be wrong because some scientists think it quite likely that life rode in on a meteorite. The Scientific American used to be much more sober. Much more documentation and valid research before they published stuff. Now they are more into provocative theories. More interesting, but confusing for us dumb people.
