For many traditional belief systems, the fact that inanimate things are 'alive' or have spirits wouldn't find that article too far fetched. From a religious/spiritual point of view that is.

For all we know, he could be right. Unfortunately, there's no way to test it. ::)
I doubt I'll live to see it, but I'd love to know what the actual TOE is.

Kol, I had not quantum-imagined that anyone could beat Deepak Chopra's ridiculous way of spewing the quantum-word "quantum" into everything in order to make it sound quantum-scientific. But maybe he got gyrobeaten by this gyrostuff. http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2012/01/27/the-comparison-to-jabberwocky-is-inevitable/ (http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2012/01/27/the-comparison-to-jabberwocky-is-inevitable/)
I like the little "Gyromodel Lexicon":
Term - "Meaning" Alternagyre - A gyrosystem whose gyrapex is not triquantal Dextragyre - A right-handed gyre or gyromodel Focagyre - A gyre that is the focal point of analysis or discussion Gyradaptor - The gyre singularity—a quantum—that exerts all forces on the gyrosystem Gyrapex - The relativistically high potential, excited, unstable, learning state of a particle Gyraxiom - A fact, condition, principle, or rule that constrains and defines the theoretical framework Gyre - The spacetime shape or path of a particle or group of particles; a quantum Gyrequation - Shorthand notation for analysis, discussion, and understanding gyromodels Gyrobase - The relativistically low potential, ground, stable, memory state of a particle Gyrognosis - The thermodynamically demanding process of learning and integrating IEM Gyrolink - The mIEM particle that links two gyromodules in a gyronexus Gyromnemesis - The thermodynamically conserving process of remembering and recovering IEM Gyromodel - The core model undergirding the theoretical framework Gyromodule - A dIEM particle in a gyronexus Gyronexus - A polymer of dIEM particles linked by mIEM particles Gyrostate - The potential and/or kinetic state that a particle occupies in its gyratory path Gyrosystem - A gyromodel with specific IEM composition, organization, and purpose IEM - Information, energy, and/or matter Levoragyre - A left-handed gyre or gyromodel Majorgyre - A gyrosystem whose gyrapex is triquantal Matrioshkagyre - A model that demonstrates how gyres organize in nested sets Ohiogyre - Higher-order organization in which a gyre gyrates around another gyre Particle - A discrete, finite, empirically definable unit of IEM Quantal - Of or relating to the quantum; tri-, di-, uni- and aquantal gyrostates found in majorgyres Quantum - A capacious, potentially infinite, uncertain unit of IEM; a gyre Subgyre - The gyre that subsumed by the focagyre Supragyre - The gyre that subsumes the focagyre Trimergence - Evolutionary emergence of a triquantal IEM
He's more gyrobsessed with the gyroword "gyro" than I am with the gyroword "bla". :)
