Exciting new theory in Physics addresses a fundamental
puzzle:
“Despite its sway over
the motion of stars and galaxies, the force of gravity is hundreds of millions
of trillions of trillions of times weaker than magnetism and the other
microscopic forces of nature. This disparity shows up in physics equations as a
similarly absurd difference between the mass of the Higgs boson, a particle
discovered in 2012 that controls the masses and forces associated with the
other known particles, and the expected mass range of as-yet-undiscovered
gravitational states of matter.”
Stoicism and the Fear of Death
Upon reading the above articles, one is reminded of ‘Heaven‘– the famous Rupert Brooke
(1887–1915) poem: http://www.bartleby.com/232/504.html
“FISH (fly-replete, in depth of June,
Dawdling away their wat’ry noon)
Ponder deep wisdom, dark or clear,
Each secret fishy hope or fear.
Fish say, they have their Stream and Pond;
But is there anything Beyond?
This life cannot be All, they swear,
For how unpleasant, if it were!”
