Thank you for your expansion of my admittedly generalized view it was
not meant to be an absolute but merely an example of the differences
that are begining to show themselves.. We all know there can be no
absolutes in life other than death ( allthough I am sure there are
some that would argue that point but thats a whole other thread ).

I was simply trying to bring peoples attention to the fact that we may
have allready caused a singularity to begin it just isn't done
happening yet.

I may be wrong I may be right.. But my guess is either way we probably
won't notice.

Rich..

( Speaking for himself too )
