Guest guest Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Recently, physicists, finally, saw an electron and filmed it. Wow! But when you watch it, do you see an electron? Not really! You only see an electron represented with points of light. The representation is remarkable enough, but is not " the thing in itself. " Each point of light in the picture lasted only an attosecond. To give you an idea how short of a time duration an attosecond represents: there are more attoseconds in a second, than seconds had gone by since the Big Bang. Such things are beyond our understanding. Representing an electron with light it's like representing a dog with a cat. We only understand representations, which means, we don't understand reality at all. All we can do with reality is sense it, feel it, be it. When we try to explain, we fall into an imagination swamp. So, if seeing the film below, you imagine that you see an electron that's OK, and if you imagine that you're gazing into the tiny, tiny pupil of God's eye, that, too, is fine.

Neither a fart, nor a kiss will lure me to your door. I show up to hound you for no reason at all. But a very Graphic invocation.
