mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

More seriously - is it something to do with the destruction of the earth?

CdM

procrastination? I'll tell you tomorrow.
destruction of earth? No.

Is it an abstract concept for the book's characters?

ImNotJohn

Does it have visible/tangible effects

(OK, I know that's two questions in one)

ImNotJohn

Although we associate it with HHGTTG, could it actually occur/exist in real life?

CdM

abstract for book's characters? Yes. (Good question)
visible/tangible effects? Yes. Though, in the context of the book/series, more easily visible than tangible.
exist in real life? I answered that somewhat cryptically earlier on. As far as I know, the concept is entirely fictional. But then I'm not a physicist, so I could be wrong. Or the physicists could be wrong. And while I think all of us here associate it with HHGTTG, something similar almost certainly existed in prior works of fiction, and I think it now has acquired something of a life of its own, in that I suspect people refer to it without knowing about HHGTTG. I could be wrong about that too, though.

The end of the universe?
