"True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us." — Socrates

Which just goes to show how far we’ve come since Socrates' day and age.

While its true that the answer to understanding the world around us only happened to occur in the last decade or so, the answer to life, the universe and everything turns out to be self-evident.

Which should come as no surprise to anyone considering that we are discussing something as auspicious as the matter of the universe, and yet it did. So much so that a fringe science has formed around the mysterious quirks of the subatomic particles that define the very nature of the universe called quantum physics.

Since we had our first glimse of what lies beyond the structure of the atom, scientists have put the universe through her paces trying to fit what we see with what is, and rejecting anything that doesn't fit in with what they believe.

Unperturbed by the lack of evidence to the contrary, and apparantly ignorant of the clear and consistent proof of the wave-particle duality evidence, the spooky nature of their behaviour seem to have driven the Physisists to distraction.

Which is no suprise either, given the cause and clause that undermine our scientists ability to see the wood for the trees are suprisingly related.

Rooted to the apparently unpopular but irrefutably apparrent truth that everything in the universe must by its nature make sense, a vote of no confidence in the nature of existence is bound to be met with cosmic ignorance, and a refusal to bend reality to such delusional belief.

From a conscious point of view the dual nature of matter make perfect sense, and the fact that quantum wave potential collapse to express reality is exactly what we'd expect given the providence.

And once we give the realisation some headspace to resonate without dissonance it stands to reason why subatomic particles exist in entangled opposite mirrored pairs.

The spooky action over a distance that Einstein refused to acknowledge, and the weird behaviour that physics fail to fathom defy the view of Nature's confluence, and obscures the sense that is as pervasive and irrefutably real.

Who would ever have thought it would all make sense, right? Where's the mystery, what happened to the spooky action that Einstein used to describe the fundamental nature of the universe?

What ever will become of us mere mortal men without the fallacy of bias and the figment we believe is hardly worth considering if we look at we we stand to gain by looking at the present in mutual relevance.

And yet we choose to close our mind in fear, and prefer losing our mind to changing our point of view.

Why?
