Mind-Boggling Questions

RE: Mind-Boggling Questions

Hitch69, I just want to reinforce this point of Rhythm's. The human ability to ask 'what if?' is our greatest intellectual tool. The reason we understand surface tension is because someone once asked the question 'what if water collected in big spheres?'. The reason we understand (as much as we do about) atoms is because someone asked 'What if objects could pass through each other?'.
Keep asking those questions.
