I immensely enjoyed reading this post. Glad you’re with us on this earth pioneering away;-)
Science makes beautiful connections! The famous quote by George J Seigel is fit to mention here: “The ability to relate and to connect, sometimes in odd and yet striking fashion, lies at the very heart of any creative use of the mind, no matter in what field or discipline.”
And unrelated to science but more to the soul and spirit I add a short piece from a lecture by Joseph Campbell printed in ‘Reflections on the Art of Living’ He wrote: ”When the physicist explores the depths of the atom or the outer reaches of space, he discovers pairs of opposites and mysteries that science hasn’t been able to penetrate. When it does penetrate to the next level, it’s still mysterious. They’ve got so many sub-atomic particles. One is named after Joyce’s “quark.” It seems to me that’s about as mysterious as you can get. There is the transcendent. Know it’s there, and then don’t worry about it. Simply behold the radiance everywhere.”

And another one from his ‘Myths to Live by’ He wrote:’ We may think of ourselves, then, as the functioning ears and eyes and minds of this earth, exactly as our own ears and eyes and minds are of our bodies. Our bodies are one with this earth, this wonderful “oasis in the desert of infinite space”; and the mathematics of that infinite space, which are the same as of Newton”s mind---our mind, the earth’s mind, the mind of the universe—come to flower and fruit in this beautiful oasis through ourselves.’
