There was another thread recently called "What's the Most Awesome
Thing You Saw Today?" (or words to that effect.) To me, the "most
awesome" thing happens *every* day just in seeing the Sun and stars,
in knowing they are the incandescing Vent Points, glittering testament
to the awesome dynamism of *space itself*venting down.. in seeing the
process of gravitation as the inverse of the Big Bang process, the
Continuous Big Bang. "Most awesome" is seeing Life as the pinnacle of
that Process. And "most awesome" of all is the privelege of being
alive and savoring life to the fullest.

Shame your wrong about most of the above, save the last sentence.

There is hope for you, Phineas. For me, savoring
life to the fullest means exploring the possibilities,
the potentials, of what science has learned so far.

Science isn't just merely "knowing"... science is
knowing which way to go.

Quantum mechanics cannot explain gravity in a
way that jives with general relativity, can it?

Could this be because gravity is not a force that
works from within? sucking your feet to the floor?

Maybe we haven't found the graviton because
maybe there *is* no graviton? no transfer particle?

Gravity is the gentle push of spatial energy. It
keeps you from flying off without crushing you.
Your strong legs enable you to move around in all
this spatial energy. Your strong hands enable you
to build devices that *use* this gravity to perform
work. Your strong mind savors life to the fullest.

Welcome to alt.astronomy!

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

--
Invisible the hand which builds a spinning galaxy,
Unseen the busy fingers bursting stars so tenderly,
We may not see the fireballs that sizzle thru our skies,
Oh! what's the use for us to have such dark, unlucky eyes?
I see the need when night arrives on sparkling starlit sea.

Indelibly yours,
Paine
