Pondering....................

Dennis Overbye, acknowledging the unsettledness of science, wonders about this Universe we find ourselves in.  Full post is here.  A few excerpts here:

"Is nature discrete or continuous? Is the universe infinite or finite? Is life inevitable, or is it a lucky accident? Will we ever find company in the cosmos?  Is the truth of the world to be found in the ways things change, like the river that you cannot step into twice, or the ways they remain the same, like the law of gravity or, indeed, the name of that river?"

"A single moment of insight or beauty or grace — like hitting a perfect towering drive off the eighth tee — can illuminate eternity."
