Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hi All. I was watching the latest manifestation of documentaries about the Universe, the formation of Earth, evolution etc. on the History channel recently. It's a very well-done series that's gets updated and revised from time to time. Though they are fun to watch, they do tend to tickle my primitive monkey brain to the point I just can't take it anymore. Anyhow, I had a big, enjoyable 'Aha' moment when watching a computer simulation of the Big Bang occurring in reverse. They basically reversed the outward movement of galaxies and galactic goodness back to a single, sub-atomic sized point. One thing about Big Bang that always nagged my limited monkey brain is how do you fit all this stuff, the universe etc. into one tiny little point? Well as I was staring at the point surrounded by infinite emptiness on my tv screen it dawned on me. You can't! All this stuff can only all be jammed into one tiny, little, sub-atomic point *conceptually*. This made sense and it became darn obvious on a level deeper than usual, that the universe is indeed a *concept*. After all, there isn't a limit to how much stuff you can imagine being stuffed into one tiny, little, sub-atomic particle. And furthermore, perhaps my little, tiny monkey brain might possibly expand into something limitless ala Big Bang style? Do Mystics still like bananas? ...God's kids sure do have big imaginations.
