who could possibly part with this?
the hurricane simulator
is on the trash heap
behind a bowling alley
why has no one snatched it up?
has it lost its luster, its wind, its power to awe?
looks a time-travel machine to me if there ever was one.

and if you want to make a simulation of nature,
you’d better make it quantum mechanical,
and by golly it’s wonderful problem,
because it doesn’t look easy.”

That’s hilarious. Why would anyone want to simulate a hurricane?

You need to send that time-machine over to John Howell where he’s talking about being at the Sistine Chapel the day it opened!! He’ll get a kick out of it!

Wow, Beth. Maybe there’s no many of the real thing now?

I’ve been in an earthquake simulator but never a hurricane. The hurricane simulator wins! Much more lifelike based on the picture.

There are suppositions that each of us humans is a simulation. But I’ll stick with Feynman’s comments. He was a fascinating bird.

Probably not (I have been fortunate to not be in hurricane type winds but I am pretty sure you are correct!)

Hurricane simulator – why? Just move to Florida! I can’t imagine getting into one of those things. We lived in Florida for 5 months in 2003 and went through 3 hurricanes – it was awful. We said, enough is enough!

I want to know the backstory of the hurricane simulator. Part of my fascination comes from wanting to know how someone came up with this idea and if it was popular at one time.

in an ironic twist of fate, perhaps a hurricane lifted the simulator from its original location, and deposited it behind the bowling alley…
