...how thought that The Simpson's didn't contain any step for Absolute Knowledge was completely and utterly wrong!
It seems that the yellow people series has done some "major" contributes to linguistics, creating an english word that is being used by Theoretical Physicists
The word is referenced in the phrase:
"A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man".
and is rather self-explanatory ;-)

The 2,718,281,828 steps for Absolute Knowledge...
... at least we know how many there are!
Some of you may have recognized it as the first 10 algarisms of e !
That transcendantal number has more than meets the eye....check it's fascinating history in The Number e
This post was inspired by a New Scientist article named e:the mystery number . (the full article is for subscriber only) The abstract gives a nice preview of its contents. and a web search can provide with more fundamental tidbits of information about the "magic properties" of e

Matrix time...
... can the human body be used as a battery?
At least some research is shedding some light to that ideia:
Personnaly I would like to have a power plug for a reading light ;-).... and maybe that could double as a weight loss diet: Burn fat to read at night!

What We Don't Know
I consider that the Second Step for Absolute Knowledge is the knowledge of what we don't know.
Wired Magazine did a nice job compiling some of the big questions:
Wired 15.02. What We Don't Know
My favorite one is:
Is the universe actually made of information?
Have fun trying to know what we don't know

First Step taken...
...blog created!
This blog is dedicated to all who seek the Absolute Knowledge.
Although this is its main goal , I just wish to start with a warning:
Good luck trying to achieve it ;-)
So, since I'm a pessimistic person, I already know from the first post, that this blog is doomed : its ultimate goal, Absolute Knowledge , cannot be achieved.
Still, that is not reason enough not to take every step towards this utopian goal, right? ;)
Have fun and post here articles, quotes or anything you think that could be useful for Absolute Knowledge ;)
