Space,Time, & Other Dimensions

My daughter gave me the book Hiding in the Mirror for Christmas. I finished reading it this past week and passed it on to a student who likes to talk about white holes, traveling faster than the  speed of light, dark matter, ... stuff like that. I must admit I didn't understand a lot of the book, especially toward the end when Krauss gets into D-branes, M-theory, different types of string theory, stuff like that. At the end I sort of got the impression he was saying that there is no physical evidence that supports any of the many mathematical theoretical constructs that suggests there are other dimensions out there or all around us. Hopefully it is something 'afterlife' will clear-up.
Not much to do this Sunday as I am pretty well planned for the next couple of weeks and  am treading curricular water between the end of the 3rd and beginning of the 4th bimesters. Admin moved bimester exams back a week. I missed the meeting that discussed the movement of bimester exams as I had duty and was told by the principal that if I couldn't find my own duty replacement I could get the info from someone else. I chose the latter option. My wife is in school today beavering away and I have spent the past hour checking out what jobs are out there. Not that I am seriously looking, but just for old times sake dreaming about where I might go next. I cruised TIEonline, SearchAssociates, and QSI websites and dreamed about being director of a small school in Kosovo. Maybe another lifetime.
Now for the philosophical question that will hopefully pull this Sunday morning ramble together.
Does destiny exist and if so is it evidence of another dimension?
I was reading an article not too long that said something to the effect that the temperature of the universe is decreasing which indicates a universe that is becoming more organized. Entropy (2nd law of thermodynamics concept) states that energy in a closed system (our universe) always increases. The temperature of our universe should be going up unless the universe is getting more organized. If the universe is becoming more organized what is it becoming organized to be like. Does the universe 'know' what it will be like and are all our actions part of what has to happen to make the universe that way?
In 1984 my 2nd wife, new son, and I were in Quito on a buying trip. We were going to go into the importing South American handicrafts business and leave education behind. We were a little nervous as the next paycheck was dependent on several boxes of sweaters, scarves, straw Christmas ornaments, primitive paintines, and more stuff like that reaching the USA and being desired by folks enough to pay us at least 3 times what we paid for it. We had just shipped off the last of the boxes and were wandering down Avenida (or is it Calle) Amazonas looking for a place for lunch. We had decided against going to La Fuente because we had lunch there almost everyday when we were in Quito. It was where I met artists I bought from. We started at one end of Amazonas and must have gone in 6 restaurants, but for different reasons (not open yet, bad smell, cleaning, available table not in good spot, stuff like that) we ended up at La Fuente. There we saw 2 friends who were teachers at Academia Cotopaxi. One was a high school science teacher who had just gotten his schedule for the coming year and was not happy. He asked me if I could teach high school Chemisty. I said, "Yes." He called the director and chauffered us immediately to meet the director who had jobs for us both. We looked at our baby, each other, and abandoned our handicraft business dream. Coincidence, Fate, Destiny, Dark Energy pulling us toward a dimension that exist which is the future universe where the energy of our current universe has achieved its highest level of organization before it starts to fall apart and heat up? Every person I  have interacted with since then owes our relationship to the sequence of events that pushed us to return to La Fuente. My daughter who gave me the book was born in Ecuador almost 2 years after the fateful lunch at La Fuente.
Oh well - time for lunch. Where shall I eat today?
