Getting Started

The obvious title to this blog, plagiarism aside, is Infinity and Beyond but this  blog is all about our propensity to overlook the obvious and search for deeper meanings even though the meanings we pursue have  little to do with the reality  we find ourselves in.

Overlooking the obvious sometimes results in terrific comedy. Jerry Seinfeld put together one of the best television shows ever done on how we complicate our lives with the problems we create for ourselves  even when the solution is right in front of our face.

Buzz Lightyear's "To Infinity and Beyond!" is a perfect example of how we ignore the reality. in this case, infinity and pursue the highly improbable or impossible, beyond. Hell it even sounds good to me and I know enough about science to understand how impossible beyond is.  

Many of mankind's greatest discoveries have been right under our noses waiting to be discovered. In some cases it  has taken an accident or unplanned event to reveal  a mystery someone was trying to solve. In all cases we had to develop the tools and the skills to understand and analyze the phenomena before recognizing  the answer.

It is my hypothesis that we now have the tools and skills needed to understand  what happens when  we each come into existence and when our bodies die.  If I am right, this new knowledge will impact every facet of our lives and mankind will have to look at reality for what it is and not what we think we want it to be.

Change doesn't come easily as the unknown provides a wealth of resources to those who seek wealth, power and notoriety.  It didn't go well for you  if you were among the first to suggest the world was round and the earth revolved around the sun. When it comes to physical science and technology, society  is a lot more flexible than it used to be until any new knowledge impacts faith or politics. Push those boundaries  and you find yourself  back on a flat world.  It makes a great situation comedy for television but our continued denial of reality and exhaustion of our resources pursuing the will o' wisps of the improbable and impossible diminishes us as a species and defeats the purpose of  either our creation or evolution.

 I fervently hope this blog will act as a catalyst to instigate research into recording what happens to the unborn in the 20th to 27th week of pregnancy. I do not have the credentials nor the finances to pursue the research. I have done all I can do researching whether  we have the tools and skills  to conduct the research and I believe we do. I have written several scientific  groups that should be interested in pursuing this research with no success. Since I do not have any credentials I can understand why  but this is far too important for me to just let it go.

At the risk of sounding too corny, this is an area where we have to, "go where no man has gone before".
