Last night I was watching the discovery channel and it had programs all about the Universe. Its size, its birth, and our amazing ability to use the technology that we have to map and discover its mysteries. It is so big, some starts are 60 billion times larger then our Sun. 60 BILLION TIMES....... We have one telescope that works around the clock to map in 3d the entire universe. When one pulls back and looks at the bigger picture it looks the same as a neurone in the brain. stars cluster to make Galaxies, Galaxies cluster to make Supper Galaxies clusters, these cluster then into filaments that weave a web structure on and on and on and on. And its all held together by "Dark matter and Dark energy"...... Something that no one can seem to define. In Buddhism and Hinduism, Indra’s Web is a profound metaphor for the structure of reality, representing the interconnectedness and interdependency of all things, describing a rich and diverse universe where infinitely repeated mutual relations exist between all its elements and entities. With this in mind I feel blessed to be alive at such an amazing time.
