Caught between
The universe is a strange place. It is not at all how it seems. There is a macrocosm of quasars, folded space and black holes and a microcosm of quantum absurdities.
The human mind reels.
The reality we appear to live in is an illusion. Even solidity is not real. There is more space, relatively, between atoms than there is space between stars.
I love these absurdities. We live in a world that seems to be real but nothing is at all as it seems. We are arrogant enough to believe we can understand.
Perhaps we can?
What is certain is that the concrete nature of the world we appear to live in is not correct.
Our lives are lived in a universe that appears to be trapped, like the meat in a sandwich, between two greater realities.
Caught between
Between the elements
And the emptiness
Lies a world of reality;
A delusion we inhabit
That is home for you and me.
Inside the event horizon
We live our merry lives
Living our existence
As husbands and wives.
Giving each day importance
As we do what must be done
Thinking we understand the truth
Of each and every one.
But fiction is our world
And reality a dream.
Between strings and quarks
Nothing is as it seems.

Kind of like infinity. We don’t know much. Nothing is as it seems.
I like thaty analogy of knowledge being like a bubble – the bigger it gets the more it comes into contact with more of the unknown.
