Philosophy Wire: Life. Microgravity. Impact analysis. Planets. Death.

Scientists have found evidence that when projectiles hit soft clumps of dust or hard clumps of loose glass beads, the scaling laws for energy dissipation and energy transfer are the same in each case. This helps us understand how granular clumps stick together, and how planets are formed. [1] Analyzing how planets are formed. By analyzing beads. It seems proper and scientific. And because of that, totally wrong and out of place. The world is not made out of beads or atoms. It is not made out of particles or matter. It is a cosmos made out of Logos. A living world full of light even in its darkest corner. Light which can never be seen or measured. For the beads will always behave like beads. And inside the vast galaxies, planets will always be formed. But there will never be even one planet in the universe, without someone treading on it. There will never be a planet in the cosmos. Without someone dying on it. Don’t analyze things much. For at some point you will understand all their details. And it is then, right at the moment of your greatest triumph, that a tear will drop down your cheek… A dead butterfly… Right on your hands… Do you see?
