The Matter with Matter

[Guest guest]

The matter with matter is we take it for granted. We stand on it, we breath it,

we eat it, we piss it, we give it no respect. What the heck! It's all around us,

and of course, we are

not it. We are much better: we are spirit, soul, the Unknown, God, It. Ha, ha!

 

We idolize the Spirit and all its derivatives because we can't touch it, see it,

or even

know it. We think we know matter, that we touch it, and see it, but do we? Only

those

that doesn't read modern physics think they understand matter.

 

There was a time when we thought matter was made of round little balls, then we

discovered the little balls were tiny solar systems with smaller balls revolving

around

each other, but still acting very predictably. No big deal, balls are balls no

matter what size they are.

 

Enters Quantum Theory. The little balls in the solar system are made of still

smaller balls. So what? Balls are balls. But wait, this balls could behave like

waves, and are no

longer so predictable. They might be here, they might be there, they might not

be anywhere at all. They might be just a probability. Randomness, rather than

predictability rules the quantum world. Time and space may act quite different.

 

Then, enters M String Theory. The quantum balls are made of tiny strings

of energy vibrating at different rates. There are eleven dimensions, and

parallel universes

floating around, and even sometimes, colliding with each other in cataclysmic

events such as the Big Bang.

 

So if this is correct, and quite a few physicist, ten time smarter than I,

think it is, matter is energy, and energy is movement, but movement of what?

Something mysterious, unknown is moving, and that mystery is matter.

 

Science won't give us the answer as to what is moving and why. Science only

answers the how. The what and the why is left to each of us.

 

Pete the material boy.
