The sun to their backs, tail in the wind, and the sea glistens in the dark of their eyes, together they fly. They fly. Reminiscent of Shadow of the Colossus?

I got the feeling GRRM gave D&D a rough draft of how he planned to end it, but they screwed it up so badly he now has to come up with something new for the novels. GRRMs dilemma in the novels was how to get all his characters back together at the right place and time for the final book without it looking contrived considering they are scattered all over his world. D&D made his job harder because he has to come up with a different ending on top of that. --- "But who prays for Satan?

BB mofo 06/19/21 4:59:52 PM #26:	creativerealms posted... Occam's razor: The simplest solution (answer) is most likely the right one I was listening to a lecture by theoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder. She felt that modern theoretical physics was too preoccupied with looking for "beautiful" answers. She believed a lot of workable theories for long standing problems that fit the observations were rejected by the community because they were too complex and messy. Instead they would rather prop up "beautiful" simple models even if they introduce new unobserved particles. It should be mentioned she prefers modified gravity models (MOND) over theoretical dark matter particles (WIMPs and MACHOs). She also thinks Many-Worlds and the Multiverse theories are religion for scientists. --- "But who prays for Satan?
