Aleph-1, on the other hand, is one of the most powerful psychadelic drugs 
ever devised (by, if it interests you, Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin, renowned 
as a scientist who personally tests his work), and is legal in at least 
some areas of the world. I would ask if this idea of an infinite grid was 
devised while under the influence of this or any other of his more 
interesting concoctions.
