> [@Mr. Blue Sky](#): > > And she didn’t see this coming? Okay, let’s see… If astrology is true, then that implies a closed universe. That is, the future, the past and the present all exist together. The future has ‘already happened’, but we (non-astrologers) can’t perceive it. That is, the present used to be the future and must be what it is because of what happened in the past. Had someone in the past seen into the present and tried to change it, they couldn’t because from the present (in the existing timeline, assuming an open universe), their actions had already been done. So: In the continuum, the comet will have already been hit in the future when time began. It was _supposed_ to happen, and it has. Thus, all is well with the universe and she has no case. ---

Johnny’s post made my head hurt. Pass the vodka, comrades. 😉 What _is_ NASA going to do about this (besides laugh their asses off like the rest of us)? ---

**lieu** , man, that was beautiful. Way I figure it, she’s bound to win this case. Otherwise, why would she have bothered filing it? Daniel ---

I thought it was interesting to see that the Russians have embraced capitalism and litigation. We really DID win the cold war… ---
