How can something so heavy have no mass? Is the earth falling through space? What holds it up? How can astronauts experience weightlessness 'outside of the pull of earth's gravity'? Where are we heading? In a big circle because we are attached to the far end of one of the spiral arms of the milky way galaxy? Why? It's to early for these kinds of questions! I just got up.
Why is it raining today? Will it rain all day? This is where our drinking water comes from, you know. Water simply falls from the sky and we collect it. Isn't that amazing?
There was once lava flowing on this island. Lava is what made this island a long, long time ago. Was 'I' here then? Was anybody?
Sounds like I'm searching for a topic today. This IS the topic. There is nothing more important than just writing down these words. How can that be? Aren't there 1,001 things to do, things that I would be 'better off' doing?
Topics come and topics go. Today the topic is that the earth seems to be floating in space and we don't even QUESTION that crazy fact. We don't even know where in the heck we are, but that's okay. It's all right that we don't know, can't figure it out, or explain it in a way that makes sense. I would like some answers to these questions, though.
Shouldn't we be more concerned about what's out there rather than the ancient ones who didn't have the technology that we do, technology that allows us to peer into space farther than they ever could? No. We should be busy writing more episodes for Netflix and creating robots and trying to figure out how to invest our money. These are the important things, we are told.
Well, I don't agree.
