Brain Forests


J.B.S Haldane, the British geneticist and evolutionary biologist said " My own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose".



Reality is a crazy place to be! what strikes me as crazier, is that for sweeping multitudes of our population there is more interest in finding out how their team did on the weekend than considering this extraordinary framework we all exist in. 

As children we are all governed by an insatiable curiosity about the workings of the things and people that surround us. Unfortunately as adults we often lose the desire to understand the world and ourselves.  It's so easy to get trapped in the routine and the mundane and forget to look around and question the why's and how's.   

Sometimes though all it takes is a carefully planted seed to fire up an imagination.  I don't claim to be an expert on any of the things that I will be posting about, but hopefully somewhere in this brain forest you can find a seed that takes hold . 

Here is something to get you started, http://scaleofuniverse.com/
