Soup, brilliant Thai salad and beers. Sweet-peppered cream cheese over crackers. And homemade marshmallows for dessert.

The texts?

Walt: "... and Newton says that time 'flows', like river, smoothly from what has come before, up through the present moment, and through on to what will come after. It's an analogy. And then Einstein says no. There is no flow. Time is there. Time is part of the continuum. But there is no flow. So, that being the case, why then does it continue to feel so certainly like a flow? A flow in exactly one direction?"

Matt: "... and it's an ad; an ad addressed to artists, to convince artists to come to what's essentially a tradeshow. A tradeshow at messe frankfurt and sponsored by Deutsche Bank and Nestle ..."

Aki: "... any page will do ... and here is this one ..."

Feynman through Jared: "... and so I learned at a very early age the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing what something really is ..."

Perhaps the first of several.
