WORLD BOOK: Some Thought on Entangled Metaphors

IMAGE: A warped image of a planetas seen from space with a complex quantum entanglement mechanism.

Liao: (scratching his head) Isn't the world like a book in many ways?

Nadya: If so, it would have a nearly infinite number of pages.

Gus:   Most people readily describe things they cannot understand as "infinite". 
       However, often they are actually very large, but finite.

Bill: Whatever . . . my patience is finite and running out.

Gus:  (muttering to himself) What a lame conversation!

Liao: (overhearing him) Relax. The outcome of the universe will not change an iota by the things we say.
