She's wrapped up in blue jeans and a brown fleece jacket and a red-black scarf. She seems to be enjoying the season.::

[seaandsky]

Hm? *blinks up at you while he was mid-sip*

Why would I be afraid of learning something?

[hexeninmadchen]

Because you seem quite annoyed vith the idea of trying to reach a little bit farther.

[seaandsky]

I'm not annoyed, I just have... limits.

... besides, we're talking about a dream. That's all.

[hexeninmadchen]

And vut is life if not putting dreams into action.

[seaandsky]

Is dreaming of a library really a dream to reach for?

[hexeninmadchen]

Knowledge is always a dream vorth reaching for.

[seaandsky]

Hm... I guess so. I guess it is something to reach for, if it's that.

But that's assuming that it really is that.

[hexeninmadchen]

... Hrm?

[seaandsky]

What if the dream really is just a dream? What if it's just meant to be a place of peacefulness, instead of a place of knowledge? A library can be quite peaceful, after all. Quiet. Serene.

[hexeninmadchen]

When one knows all, it is a world of peace. Absolute knowledge leads to absolute understanding vhich leads to absolute world peace.

[seaandsky]

... I guess. *sips his drink*

You seem very interested in knowledge, yourself, ma'am.

[hexeninmadchen]

I'm a mathematician. Our field is literally "Knowledge" and "Truth".

[seaandsky]

A mathematician? *he blinks at that, looking up at you.*

I guess it makes sense then, why you're so interested in the idea of me dreaming of such an expansive library.

[hexeninmadchen]

Yes, vhen math is a fundamental language.

[seaandsky]

I see... Hmm... *looks down at his drink*

Though, you'd think you'd be looking at this more scientifically, then. I mean, a dream of a library? Not many people in terms of logic and science would think too deeply on dreams.

[hexeninmadchen]

Personally I think vat it represents is quite real.

[seaandsky]

Oh, you do? Why's that?

[hexeninmadchen]

The universe is underpinned by the mechanics of numbers and how they vork.

In theory, the universe is merely a giant math equation if you boil it down enough. So it's not impossible for there to be a way to analyze absolute knowledge, if you have enough technology and the right equations.

Ja?

Vell, there's a belief that a small amount of matter can be used to extrapolate the knowledge of the entire universe.

[seaandsky]

A small amount of matter...?

[hexeninmadchen]

Ja. Because objects interact with other atoms and particles and those interact with other particles, in theory, you can know the entire universe from the lunch your mother makes.

Maybe.

[seaandsky]

"Maybe"? You're not certain on that, of course.

[hexeninmadchen]

Theory is theory, and much of this requires bigger computers.

[seaandsky]

... I see. *he finishes his drink, standing up*

This has been a rather... Interesting conversation, miss. But I do think it'd be better to not sit out so long in the cold.

... Actually didn't intend on sitting out in the cold, regardless, so...
