    Is there something about space/time that encourages biological organisms to grow in patterns that incorporate/reveal the Fibonacci spiral (or Golden Ratio)?

    Not only is helium the 2nd most abundant element in the universe, when it’s brought to 452F it becomes a superfluid and can drain through molecule thin cracks in a container.

    It’s impossible to burp in space.
    The gas can’t escape the solids and liquids so no burp, just puke.

    How can our minds replicate the feeling of falling from a high altitude in a nightmare, if we’ve never felt it before?

    There is a Buddhist saying I came across years ago. It goes something like this:
    “Do not mistake the finger pointing at the moon for the moon itself”

    A more poetic way of saying this is:

    A finger
    pointing at the moon
    is not the moon.
    It is a finger...
    pointing at the moon.

    What does that mean? Don't mistake words or teachings or concepts for the thing itself.

    As a lover of science, I am cognizant of what this means in respect to science. For all that science has done for us, it is still only our current understanding of reality. Some people seem to think science is telling them exactly what reality is like, but this is not so.

    In the quote above, I think of Science as the finger and reality as the moon.
    Don't mistake the finger for the moon.

    A language translation by a computer program turned this:
    "Out of sight, out of mind."
    ... into this:
    "Invisible idiot."

    My older brother tried to explain that to me when I knew addition but not multiplication. He asked what 2 x 3 would be. I said 5. He said, "No, it's 6." I didn't believe him, but he insisted, and that upset me. My mother had to sit down with me and help me understand. After the ah-ha moment, I loved math. After that, she called me her "little mathematician".
