Physics

I was reading this morning about how physicists had discovered a new sort of neutrino which should not exist, but does. It should not exist, I suppose, because it possesses the quality of passing through other matter without affecting or being affected by that matter, somehow both coinciding and not coinciding with the matter. Weird. No matter how much you think about it, you can't explain it to yourself. Or at least I can't. I always find physics fascinating, although I certainly don't understand physics. I remember another study which showed, essentially, that things only happen if they are observed. At the atomic level, or so it seems, things are in a wave form, merely potential, and cannot occur, as a focused trajectory, for instance, unless they are observed. Similarly, each electron has a twin and each will mirror the action of the other even if they have been separated and scattered to opposite ends of the universe. 

What this says to me is that there is a whole lot about life and existence that we do not understand, that science has discovered far more mysteries than it has solved, that at the most essential level we are quite ignorant of the worlds by which our beings are contained. These neutrinos are ghosts, are they not? They both exist and do not exist, they are both here and not here. 

As above, so below, the saying goes. Or, in other words, On earth as it is in heaven. I think what I find fascinating about physics is the same thing I find fascinating about religion, spirit, theology--the mystery at the core, the meaning that is infinitely deeper than the search. We express in both the language of science and the language of religion bits and fragments of what we do not know, those things which God both knows and is.
