When I first started to look into physics it contributed to the awe I always felt about life itself. I read an extensive article about the path scientists took to manipulate viruses that led to the current pandemic and was horrified anew. I have believed for eighteen months or so that we need a Nuremberg trial for those who stood before us as saviors and were in fact the monsters responsible, not only for the viral pandemic, but for everything that continued to destroy our humanity. Now I see the outraged (virtually everyone) clamoring for a nuclear war and a new company investing billions in crispr technology. I am feeling a little hopeless today. Whatever progress science makes seems to inevitably lead to destruction.
Thank you for answering me. I don't have a materialist/secular mindset and would love to understand what your "wilder" ideas are. (or at least to try) I realize your posts must take an enormous amount of time (and being retired now...(VA vax mandates and though I am old enough I resent this forced end to my career) I have lots of time, so if I ask you to clarify something don't feel compelled to respond. But if you have time, and are willing to indulge me as I try to keep my brain somewhat functional, what do you mean by 'upside down'?
O.K. I have responded to a couple of posts. My first was an attempt to elicit a simple explanatory summary from you. Because I find your writings much too complicated to understand ( a literary post graduate science degree) Are you a professor of advanced literature or science? Anyway I decided to go back to first posts in an attempt to 'learn' your language. I am an RN who will be retiring in one week. As someone that has always been interested in the mysteries of the physical universe, both the enormity of space (or is it?) and the infinitely small quantum world, I am inspired by someone who obviously knows so much more about so many things than I do. Because I find you so interesting I want to ask you who you are but I won't intrude. I hope you can still get a comment from such an old post. If you can, expect to hear from me as questions arise. I get several stacks and like them all but yours is the most challenging.
So what I had always thought of as an intimate beautiful genetic dance taking place in the creation of life is actually a whole ballroom.
