What science can tell us about… us
Cosmic Doughnuts and Bulletproof Bears
What does science tell us about our humanity and place in the Universe?
Let’s start with the size of the observable Universe. It’s big, extending 46 billion light years in every direction, and it’s getting bigger (ie: the light is moving away from us). Is it infinite? More like a cosmic doughnut that bends back on itself.
Could it expand forever? Balloons go pop, so could we? Possibly. But then we’re all going to die someday anyway, so going pop and being covered in doughnut sprinkles probably wouldn’t be such a bad way to go.
But what about small creatures that can live in boiling water and -200 degrees and live in outer space without oxygen, or without food or water for 10 years? This is not science fiction. These are water bears. Tardigrades, actually. But they look like little bears, albeit a millimetre long.
Scientists have taken the genome from these little miracles and added it to stem cells that have gone on to resist extreme temperatures. Hardy? You betcha!
What do these two facts tell us about our own humanity? Well, they go to show that there is more going on out there than the latest contestant to get kicked out of Love Island.
“Science is the new language of mysticism” – Dr Joe Dispenza.
We can use science to tell us about our significance (or otherwise). It can tell us about extreme possibilities. And it can explain how stuff that seems impossible actually happens. One day, it might even be able to tell us about the infinite nature of the Universe and our place in it.
And one day, we may very well be able to tap into the infinite potential of this knowledge and do something really cool with it, like time travel. Don’t forget, it’s only just over 200 years ago that we thought flying was impossible (let alone self-driving cars and AI!)…
Have a great week, learn heaps, love loads and then pass it on.
