New Realms


We
live in a
universe
of
subatomic
particles,
the building blocks
of everything else.
All
we can see
and touch
is made up
of the stuff.
Even
in the seemingly
empty void
of space
science
tells us
virtual particles
pop in and out
of existence.

Reductionists
will tell us
all we need do
is understand
these
subatomic particles
and we\'ll
understand
everything.
But,
I wonder
if there\'s more
out there than
meets
the eye.
Mathematics
for example,
the language
of the
universe.
Was
mathematics
invented
or
discovered?
Was it always
out there
just waiting
for a brain
of sufficient size
and complexity
to tap into
its realm.
This
seems to be
the case.
Would E=MC2
be true here
and one billion
light years from here?
I think so.
The question
is then,
what other realms
might there be
awaiting
discovery
when a brain
of sufficient
size and complexity
comes to be?
We\'ll need to
grow one
or make one
to find out.
What interesting
times await.
Indeed!
