The science trap
Reading about Quantum Physics and the way the world works on a scientific – or even smaller – level, it’s very easy to become first confused and then disenchanted about life. First you might think How can a table be rock solid when it’s actually made up of lots of little things which aren’t really even solidly connected? And secondly you might ponder ever setting foot outside your door again, as the risk of a black hole opening up is so enormous (and it truly, genuinely is. I’m not just being dramatic – science says it’s possible!). Yet we do, every day, so what does that tell us about our race? It tells us that we’re optimistic, is what! But here’s the thing: get too close to science and you’ll stop enjoying and appreciating life. So is it any wonder that scientists seem to be perpetually thinking (and some not appreciating life like the average night-clubber)? Probably not. After all, on the level they see the world at, there’s an awful lot to think about.
