When I was younger I would gobble up scientific research with wide eyed awe that science was on the cusp of understanding the mysteries of the "infinite" universe.
A this stage in life I feel there's a disconnect with reality when each passing month and each passing year provides a glut of contradictory information and hugely speculative "scientific analysis" that debunk previous theory or lend support to the latest.
The way I saw it a a kid was that 'we could be a speck of dust on a ball of lint of the floor in the corner of gods kitchen'... Little did I know people were making their life's work trying to support equally plausible observations.
There is nothing I would love more than knowing the quantum universe and all the riddles it has to offer, but I don't see how it's possible? Not that we should stop speculating, or doing research, but the volumes of contradictory information that comes out regularly does nothing but water down what we do know.
I liken this subject to the current trend of battery breakthroughs. I think most of us can agree that this field of study is ripe with overblow ideas, just because something works of paper doesn't mean it's a practical solution.
We don't have enough time on this planet nor the resources to figure it out. Maybe it's a crutch to have this mindset, or maybe it's liberating to know we can't know everything. Statements like "Everything that can happen does happen" sound like painting with a broad brush to cover up the lack of actual detail.
My wide eyed awe currently has the notable addition of rolling eyes each time I read one of the new and fantastical studies that attempt to make sense of everything.. At a time where we obviously can't even make sense of what's happening inside biosphere one.
I have a good chuckle when I think about the science, manpower, and money behind each new discovery study.
You have to laugh about it or it will gnaw at your very soul ...or whatever it is we have guiding us through the vastness of the cosmos.
Do you buy into this latest report? Do you feel it's highly plausible or is it yet another report for the sake of churning out something to justify (a groups) existence.
Mind-Melting Study ... It's mind melting for a reason.
