So in one of my more ambitions moments, I decided I wanted to understand the idea of parallel universes and/or string theory. I purchases two books. I got about halfway through one. I understood about five percent of what I was reading.
Only five percent...or less. It was entirely over my head. And so I stopped. but it hasn't stopped me from thinking of the fascinating idea of parallel universes or the idea of time travel. Or the idea that time, as we understand it now, is merely a human construct of our limited understanding and that one day, the idea of time as we know it will be irrelevant.
So I'm probably thinking about this because I've been watching Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman. Have you watched this stuff? It's pretty fascinating what scientists are doing. Actually, it's more than fascinating. It's exciting. I never imagined I would say that. If someone had told me when I was fourteen that I would one day say that science is exciting, I would have scoffed.
But I do think it's extremely interesting and exciting. Think about it. The idea that wormholes are out there and could connect us to the stars or other galaxies. The idea that our brains might have a collective consciousness, that we can sense the future, that we can change the nature of aging by understanding the biological function of our bodies...the physics that control our cells and their functions.
All of it is amazing. And I should have been a scientist. I have a great idea for a book. But I really fear writing it. It deals with parallel universe theory. But I don't understand the physics and geometry enough to understand how the theory works. And I want to understand, or at least some basic fundamentals, before I write it. I should have paid attention in science. I should have fallen in love with physics.
