Themes Of Things

Take a moment to consider this before continuing.
(should the video not work here is a a link to the original Powers of 10)

After viewing that video a suitable framework can be established for the relative scale of possible ideas to explore. As you may have noticed the range in size presented by Powers of 10 is unnerving and subversive to most of what we assume to be. The amplitude of distance and dimension dominates any regular thought until it is realized that humans are still part of the observed universe. Even if the entire population on Earth is not microscopically comparable to a segment of the milky way other then fundamental atoms constituting the composition of matter, the link exists. Between outer space and inner space a nearly unnameable amount of objects are present. Diversity among them is vast yet common bonds commingle through out every category. Next comes the action of bringing focus to these divisions like Science, Nature, Philosophy, Religion, Arts, Culture, and Politics. Paying tribute to their sources and individual facets in such a way as to define relationships and meanings. Subsequent postings will be devoted to investigation of highlighted topics, stay tuned.

Continuance

(Disclaimer: read from original posting dates, this project is only relevant by them)

Proceeding onwards now, as a branch with no beginning or ending. Thoughts will course in all directions, landing in many different areas only to resume their path in a seamless current of discussion. Mention was made earlier of Answering by Questioning and the paradox of thought which it creates. Examining this concept further reveals that once an inquiry has been made there is usually a response to follow. The key to this method of contemplation is to continually interrogate replies received until additional consideration becomes virtually impossible. At least to the extent of human capability. Any subject or topic may be used as an example. For instance, something as simple as the color Red. What makes Red appear as it does to us in comparison to all the perceived colors?(
Investigate)> Varying wavelengths of light witnessed as different colors in the spectrum.>What is light and why does it behave like waves?(Investigate)> Light is electromagnetic radiation composed of particles called Photons.> What are Photons and particles and why do they exist in the forms we've discovered?..... The potential for pressing forward is extreme and Red was only meant to serve as an example . From here themes can be introduced and discussed in whatever direction curiosity leads. More to come...

Opening Lines,Shapes, and Structures

First post on first blog, is this the end>?. what I mean is...is this the point where I decide that adding my ramblings and other things of interest to the sea of blog matter will have any meaning, other then my own slight satisfaction? Not entirely concerned with the Answer. More interest is going to be reserved for the Question in these texts. See, Questions are endless and Answers are the attempt to make the endless endable. The Universe however, seems to be designed in a different manner which opposes Q&Aing to a point of ultimate conclusion. Yes this is quite contrary to the beliefs so much of the world holds dear: Religion, Faith, God. These values all have their place sternly secured in human life as a point where one does not have to ask anymore but only to believe. Nothing is wrong with belief so long as you believe that one possible Answer is to always Question, call it the gift of consciousness. From that statement a paradox of thought is born and the flow of words begun. To be continued.
