Last night Stephen Colbert interviewed an Astrophysicist. I would have remembered the scientist's name except I found his 'findings' quite boring. He said that the universe is comprised of mainly nothing.





Nothing? I can't believe an astrophysicist who actually gets an opportunity to share on national television what he has learned throughout his life-long career has this to say: there's really nothing out there & P.S.: Pluto is no longer considered a planet.

There is one scientific conclusion I hold near & dear to my heart: We human beings only use about 10% of our brain capacity. That premise keeps our discoveries humble, which in turn keeps our research indefinitely minimal. If I were to be so bold as to pursue a career in astrophysics, I would ask the same questions my 'shroomed brain did when I was in college.

Namely:
-If our Sun is a star, how many stars are actually suns (complete with solar systems)?

-Given that we know atoms exist, is it possible that our solar system, from another vantage point, is actually the size of an atom?

-Either there is someting or there is nothing - so how is it possible that there's 'nothing' out there when there's obviously so much we experience everyday that is clearly not 'nothing'?

Opposites enhance each other. The happier you are the more sadness you actually allow yourself to feel, the more pain you acknowledge the more meaningful joy becomes. In conclusion, the opposite of nothing is most certainly not just something - it's everything.
