According to World News Forecast<\/a>, 11:11am on 11\/11\/11 could, if Uri Geller is right, be a portal to another universe. This is from Geller’s web-page on the subject<\/a>:<\/p>\n

String theory<\/strong> is said to be the theory of everything. It is a way of describing every force and matter regardless of how large or small or weak or strong it is. There are a few eleven’s that have been found in string theory.<\/p>\n

I find this to be interesting since this theory is supposed to explain the universe! The first eleven that was noticed is that string theory has to have 11 parallel universes (discussed in the beginning of the “11.11” article) and without including these universes, the theory does not work.<\/p>\n

The second is that Brian Greene<\/strong> has 11 letters in his name. For those of you who do not know, he is a physicist as well as the author of The Elegant Universe, which is a book explaining string theory. (His book was later made into a mini series that he hosted.) Another interesting find is that Isaac Newton (who’s ideas kicked off string theory many years later) has 11 letters in his name as well as John Schwarz<\/strong>. Schwarz was one of the two men who worked out the anomalies in the theory. Plus, 1 person + 1 person = 2 people = equality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Whether or not a portal to another universe does open up, there will be a film opening that day about the topic, see here<\/a>. In possibly related news, Brian Greene’s Fabric of the Cosmos<\/em> series will start appearing on broadcast TV 11\/2\/11, with the first episode already available here<\/a> if you are an iperson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
