Those who investigate the intricacies of physics are always looking for extra dimensions.

One candle burning at both ends gives a very lovely light. 3379 candles burning at one end give even more light. 3379 dynamite sticks exploding at the same time give light and power. But one single lightning gives both, at a speed of 130,000+ mph. But ah, my foes, this is not very poetic and oh, my friends, it lasts only a fraction of second, although being 110+ miles long (and 1/2 inch wide). But why? But why?…. …

But why? … ???

But, bugger all, why do I use miles and inches? I should use meters indeed.

My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light.
Edna St. Vincent Millay, “A Few Figs from Thistles”, 1920
US poet (1892 – 1950)

That’s what parallelism is about I guess… From candles to rockets. You sure add some extra-dimension to the quote…

I wouldn’t want to see the Dalai Lama try to light 3379 dynamite sticks then, if only one of them is not a damp squib.

I've only just seen this, Evan but, even if I had seen it earlier, I wouldn't have been able to reply as I have euboiaphobia.

Don’t get your knickers in a twist by thinking too literally. The original candle doesn’t have to light all 3379 candles, but only a few which then each do the same.
It’s the principle of duplication which network marketing is based on.
The trouble with network marketing is that people are not candles; some are rockets that shoot up and burn out with a bang and most are damp squibs that refuse to burn.
