One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The year the tsunami hit the Philippines I was in the middle of a holiday on the south coast of SA (near L'Aghulas), the TV at the small (and only) pub there, was reporting the disaster. Later that night the sea level pulled back and exposed more than a km of coast normally covered in water. We were walking around and picking up fish that lay on the 'beach'. Boats in the harbour settled sideways on sand and later the tide pushed them all onto the parking lot. This all happened within a couple of hours, it was awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

There's no use in trying to figure out where we come from. We are here. Our beginning (start of our universe, the Big bang, God or whatever) is impossible to understand. To understand we need to look at it from the outside, and this is impossible. The universe is either border less (a huge static void that has no end and is just there, quite unimaginable, isn't it?) or it is expanding at the speed of light (if it was created by a Big bang, the expansion would be the fastest speed possible), in both cases the 'outside' is unreachable because the first case has no 'outside' and in the second we need to travel faster than the fastest speed to reach it. Maybe the real problem lies in our perception.
