| Anonymous Coward User ID: 31995398 01/11/2013 08:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One of these days.. God is gonna switch all those lights off, just to see if we'll notice the difference. The Universe is both Macro & Micro at the same time, it is without form, linear time & space. The measure of the vastness either within the open vastness of the atom or equally the many galaxies is the same. It's our consciousness & our material bonding that determines material expansion & rate of change between objects/energy (time). There's really, very little difference between an Astronomer and a Nuclear Physicist, both looking at the same things, but at a material/energy 'time delay' with consciousness. Mad, really. |

It's not mind-boggling it's the universe and the universe has many gems just waiting to be discovered. I bet there are more things like this out there than just this one or even larger. Things like this definately puts everything in perspective though. Last Edited by BAD WOLF on 01/11/2013 08:31 PM "The human race. For such an intelligent lot you aren't half susceptible.
