Stars, Viruses and Us

I love science.  I love how it kicks open our heads and shows us how much we don't really know.  And I also love how the scientific paradigm is a mobile periscope.  It's always moving.  And what we knew yesterday, isn't what we know today, and probably isn't what we're gonna know tomorrow.


So as we try to explain the universe, and ourselves, to ourselves, the light shines on knowledge in new ways, and opens up new mysteries.  And science is a great tool, and a wonderful adventure, but of course it's limited by our very human boundaries.


We now know were born inside stars and we have been changed and molded by viruses.  We embody the high and the low.  So above as below.  We are a crossroads, a meeting place, a microcosm of the macrocosm.


We know a lot.  But really, it is so little that we know.  We are dancers in the dark, brothers and sisters to the stars, the viruses, and everything in between.
