The Lounge is a universe that uses a different cosmological constant than the other universes here.

In the Lounge, time's one-way arrow travels without a wake; hence there is no past, and all previous posts are mere collective fantasies, shadows of our human tendency to manufacture memories to suit motivation, context, and then collude to anoint those memories as "reality."

In the QA forums however, the universes there have a continuously circular dimension of time; all messages appear again and again, even though they are posted by different people. Some might call this re-incarnation, or, "what goes around comes around."

I would call it: "the persistence of meaningless," but, I'm a poet, and can't help thinking like that.

cheers, Bill
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008
