To explain the universe, science first assumed the existence of an unseen phenomenon called dark matter. Finding the explanation insufficient, it posited a second unseen phenomenon called dark energy. Still unsatisfied, it hypothesized a third unseen phenomenon called dark flow. Relying on these three mysteries, science is now satisfied with its explanation. Here is a thought. We have known, since Einstein, that matter and energy are really the same thing in two different forms. Might it now be proved that flow, as in dark flow, is a third form of the same thing? And might science thus be discovering that the binding force of the universe is a Trinity? And might a religious believer say, "No kidding."

Sounds plausible to me. Amen.
I love you. :) You just put into words the thoughts I can't articulate. blessings, marlene
I love this!
I like the way your mind works.
=)
Robert. You are in a class by yourself. I could not have said this better myself. In fact, I could not've even thunk it. don

Thanks for your comments. Forgive me, please, a group response on this one.
The other day, on the Huffington Post site, I ran across this comment, "Brault writes cute aphorisms that have no intellectual merit." This was in response to my quote, "In comparing religious belief to science, I try to remember that science is belief also." The writer apparently took exception to my characterizing science as belief. I do think that today's post underscores the element of belief in science. We find, in its reference to dark matter, dark energy and dark flow, that science does not hesitate to turn to mystery when its premises so require. As to my allusion to the Trinity, I will leave others to judge its intellectual merit.

Repeating the same as all here ~ I LOVE IT!
This is fabulous, Robert! I'm reading this aloud to Chris ~ and later passing it along to family.
The Merriam-Webster definition of HUFF is:
to emit puffs (as of breath or steam)
to proceed with labored breathing
to make empty threats : bluster b : to react or behave indignantly
...sounds just about right ;o)
~ A Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours ~

Amazing ! Just loved reading what I believe but couldn't put across...:)
Maria,
Thanks for your spirited defense. One can do worse than writing cute aphorisms that have no intellectual merit. One could write long essays that have no intellectual merit.
khushi,
Ah, there you are. Thanks, as always, for kind words.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.

"And might science thus be discovering that the binding force of the universe is a Trinity" this humble student of science for nearly four decades can just salute Robert you for a beutiful illustratation of a fundamental concept!
Raj,
Whatever lies at the core of the universe, I do think that a discourse on dark matter, dark energy and dark flow might well be titled, "In Search of the Blessed Trinity."

Hi,
I think you are a marvellous thinker. I came across your blog through a quote site and I marvelled at how true and deep your quotes are. Seldom quotes from one specific person ring so true to me. Thanks for sharing your gift, for making it available to people all over the world - like me. Greetings from Brazil. :)
Izabel,
Thanks so much -- and welcome. I indeed count success as writing something that rings true.

So,if you write cute aphorisms that have no intellectual merit that must mean the Photos I use have no Visual merit..right ?
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion...but an opinion is only another mans perception of our reality...
I am Thankful for You and your cute aphorisms ♥

Robert,
I have been thinking about this Huff Post Comment and have come to this conclusion...it speaks much more about the writer of the comment than it does about you! And so, I have a response for him/her, whoever the writer may be...
"The greatest obstacle to most people isn't skill, it's attitude." Harley Brown
"Your mental attitude attracts to you everything that makes you what you are." Napoleon Hill
and finally...
"A chip on the shoulder indicates that there is wood higher up." Jack Herbert
Huffin's just puffin....meh!!!
Now, go have a great day, Robert!!
Nina
a friend of mine once said,
"It is a shame to see in the work of an artist the limitations of his critics." ...ok, ok, you can write the same quote to me tomorrow!
Nina
Nina,
I can truthfully say that while I have limitations, they're all mine. And if there's one thing NOT evidenced in your paintings, it's the notion of limitation. We're good, my friend.
