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!
