    Yes, but the what in the goddamn fuck is spread through so many scientific fields.

    Who: biology What: chemistry When: physics Where: geology, archeology Why? Philosophy

    All these fields just because the universe exists. kind of beautiful if you ask me.

    The Universe: Exists
    Also the Universe: Doesn’t explain itself
    Scientists: What in the goddamn fuck
    Scientists: Tries to look for answers
    The Universe: Not so fast *does everything in its power to stop the Scientists from figuring out how it all works, why it exists and is the way that it is.

      I like to think of it as this super huge structure, with all these mysterious facets and faces cut into it. We found it, have no idea how to properly measure or capture it. We started as blind men, groping their eay through the dark, and now we’ve found ways to light a flame and to see the surface before us, but it’s so huge and there’s so many patterns layered over patterns that it’s uncomprehendingly beautiful and we have to continue to invent new tools and methods of processing what’s before us.
