We live on an island surrounded by a sea of ignorance. As our island of knowledge grows, so does the shore of our ignorance. - Kenneth W. Ford

Nobody can be anybody without somebodies around.

the past has no existence except as it is recorded in the present. (...) we would seem forced to say that no phenomenon is a phenomenon until it is an observed phenomenon. The universe does not 'exist, out there' independent of all acts of observation. Instead, it is in some strange sense a participatory universe

There are many modes of thinking about the world around us and our place in it. I like to consider all the angles from which we might gain perspective on our amazing universe and the nature of existence.
