Lately I have been intrigued by a notion I picked up from an article I read.

The theme was that the age of great discoveries is over. The reason being given is, that humankind has now solved the great mysteries which it is capable of imagining. Beyond what we have answered there is a universe of questions which the brain of this species is not capable of reaching.

Ask Pat if they've discovered a way to keep the clasp on a woman's necklace from revolving to the front.

I certainly don't know what causes gravity, but I'm perfectly willing to attribute this to God.Come on John, get on the program here.

I always thought the Poles caused gavity.

Dashmann said...

Could that be either the Wisniewski's, Kowalczyk,s or
Pulaski's causing it ????
I know our bodies aren't magnetic and would logically fly off the rotating Earth with centifugal
( center fleeing ) force, unless there were some other mysterious force ( GRABITY - as Dennis the Menace used to call it ) holding us down.

I came to this realisation a few years back at a science museum in Toronto, while staring at some display with mathematical stuff about the universe and black holes. I thought, someone certainly more clever than me can make sense of this stuff, but surely there must be a limit.

Actually, isn't this the reason people believe in God?
