Well, human achievement has come as far is can. Mr. Shifty has been cubed. We can all pack it in folks and go eat some Doritos or something.

I'm having "Hot & Spicy" Cheez-its actually.

So, I have decided to coin a phrase:

Cube the shifty - To reach the pinnacle of human endeavor in a given field.

Cubing the Shifty implicitly rejects string theory, which posits eleven, not three, dimensions.. I cannot support this.

You just cubed the shifty in lame attempts to play devil's advocate.

You're so fucking Newtonian. Here's an abacus for you to do your equations.

For day to day calculations, Newtonian physics are actually still the gold standard, because their predictive properties work fine when not dealing with the infinitely large and the infinitesmally small.

Also: shouldn't you save this sort of baiting for Potsy, Ralph Malph?

Newtonian physics works well enough for imprecise but close enough calculations at the human level, yes. But your cubing of the shifty invokes the extremes, either small or large, hence quantum or Einsteinian measurements are needed. And cubing just doesn't cut it, dude.

He's mentally in Nebraska right now. There's no talking to him when he's like that.

Um...hyperbole is my bread and butter, even my fucking definition has "HUMAN" in it. Not universal extremes.

Human beings are products of a quantum universe. Acknowledge it, lepton.

Sophistry*. I'm using this term in a cultural sense, and you know it.



*in fact, I think you just cubed the sophistry shifty.
