Super spiderweb

"It's difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive earth men or merely enslave them. One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the spiders will soon be here. And I for one welcome our new insect overlords."
-Kent Brockman (paraphrased)

I for one welcome our new insect overlords

Deepak Chopra Life after Death

persephone says...

There are some pretty learned people who might disagree with you, Glui. Lawrence M. Krauss' article "The World May Be Fundamentally Inexplicable" is an interesting read. It's in John Brockman's "What is your dangerous idea?". I bought it for Dag for Christmas gone past, but only got 'round to reading it myself, just now.

I believe that scientific inquiry is an excellent tool to help us explore our universe, but that it is blinkered-thinking to say that so long as we stick to scientific theory, always applying rational thought, one day we'll finally GET what it's all about.

"The end of 'fundamental' theoretical physics....might very well occur not with a theory of everything but with the recognition that all so-called fundamental theories that describe nature are purely phenomenological-that is, derivable from observational phenomena-and don't reflect any underlying grand mathematical structure of the universe which would allow a basic understanding of why the universe is the way it is". Krauss.

Chopra is saying the same thing: Fundamentalism offers no guarantee for a handle on the ultimate truth.
