And now for something completely different — for some reason, at this point, the below conversation from my favourite trilogy seems relevant:
FORD: Yeah, well, Forget that. I mean do you know how the universe began for a kick off?
ARTHUR: Well probably not
FORD: Alright imagine this: you get a large round bath made of ebony.
ARTHUR: Where from? Harrod’s was destroyed by the Vogons.
FORD: Well it doesn’t matter –
ARTHUR: So you keep saying!
FORD: No, No listen. Just imagine that you’ve got this ebony bath, right? And it’s conical.
ARTHUR: Conical? What kind of bath is –
FORD: No, no, shh, shhh, it’s, it’s, it’s conical okay? So what you do, you fill it with fine white sand right? Or sugar, or anything like that. And when it’s full, you pull the plug out and it all just twirls down out of the plug hole… but the thing is…
ARTHUR: Why?
FORD: No, the clever thing is that you film it happening. You get a movie camera from somewhere and actually film it. But then you thread the film in the projector backwards.
ARTHUR: Backwards?
FORD: Yeah, neat you see. So what happens is you sit and you watch it and then everything appears to swirl upwards, out of the plug hole and fill the bath… amazing.
ARTHUR: And that’s how the universe began?
FORD: No. But it’s a marvelous way to relax.
