Well, sceptomatic has at least a point when he says our universe is so wonderous that it is hard to accept how it works if you don't have the proper training and education.
No, I don't say our universe is anything at all. I'll say that our cell/world that we live in can be fantastic. As for universe, nobody knows what it is except for the story books and reflective pictures they believe is a universe.
Physics turned out to be more compex and at the same time more elegant than most of us expected.
Physics is only as complex as people make it. It could all be simple if people stopped making simplicity appear super complex.
But we are in trouble if we don't believe things we personally could not imagine.
Being able to imagine something can work both ways. If you have a mind of your own or you have a mind to follow the minds of others who may or may not be mindful of what reality is.
Fifty years ago, no one could have imagined an iPad. And here I am, typing on one, battling autocorrect.
Another thing nobody would have imagined fifty years ago.
So you're using an ipad. It's called learning and adding as you go.
Anyone can imagine anything but it doesn't mean that it becomes reality.
I blame star trek and star wars for the way many people's minds are, in terms of so called space and all the pathetically made up so called physics that supposedly push it as reality.
Some people who can be stood out as extremely clever, could tell you all you need to know about the workings of the star ship enterprise, right down to the colour of Kirk's socks, etc.
What are they describing? Reality?
The trouble is they absorb into it all as a reality. They do it as a release from the actual reality they are part of. They could convince people that all this star trek crap was real and many people would buy into it.
This is exactly what's happening in the world from the past to the present. It's just stories of fiction mixed in with reality.
Most people don't want to veer off course from that because fantasy stories can be exciting and magical, as well as scary in terms of fictional world obliterating weapons and what not.
The reality of what life actually is can be a massive come down to many, or a fascinating insight to some.
