A mad thought
Posted: Mon Nov 22, 2010 5:06 am
What if the four imponderables are in fact imponderable because what lies beyond is madness in reality?
In other words: Pondering these things leads to madness, not because there is no answer but because what lies beyond are crazy things. Understanding the madness which lies beyond is knowledge of the madness, which is bewildering. To ask these questions is like falling down the rabbit hole of Alice in Wonderland.
Perhaps the universe is like a bubble of orderly laws in a sea of chaos; a bubble of "things" and "reactions," like a pinball machine.
