Math Is Discovered. To Be Invented Requires An Inventor, But Math Exists Outside Of Humanity. But Ultimately, The Laws Of The Universe Will Be Reduced Down To A Single Equation, Perhaps No More Than One Inch Long. But Leaves The Final Question, Where Did That One Inch Equation Come From?

Although Humans Have Existed On This Planet For Perhaps 2 Million Years, The Rapid Climb To Modern Civilization Within The Last 200 Years Was Possible Due To The Fact That The Growth Of Scientific Knowledge Is Exponential; That Is, Its Rate Of Expansion Is Proportional To How Much Is Already Known. The More We Know, The Faster We Can Know More. For Example, We Have Amassed More Knowledge Since World War Ii Than All The Knowledge Amassed In Our 2-million-year Evolution On This Planet. In Fact, The Amount Of Knowledge That Our Scientists Gain Doubles Approximately Every 10 To 20 Years.

I Used To Watch The Old 'flash Gordon' Series On Tv, And It Was Thrilling To Rocket To The Planet Mongo Every Week. But After A While, I Figured Out That Although Flash Got The Girl And All The Accolades, It Was Really Dr. Zarkov Who Made The Series Work. Without Dr. Zarkov, There Could Be No Flash Gordon.

In String Theory, All Particles Are Vibrations On A Tiny Rubber Band; Physics Is The Harmonies On The String; Chemistry Is The Melodies We Play On Vibrating Strings; The Universe Is A Symphony Of Strings, And The "mind Of God" Is Cosmic Music Resonating In 11 Dimensional Hyperspace.

It's Humbling To Realise That The Developmental Gulf Between A Miniscule Ant Colony And Our Modern Human Civilisation Is Only A Tiny Fraction Of The Distance Between A Type 0 And A Type Iii Civilisation - A Factor Of 100 Billion Billion, In Fact. Yet We Have Such A Highly Regarded View Of Ourselves, We Believe A Type Iii Civilisation Would Find Us Irresistible And Would Rush To Make Contact With Us. The Truth Is, However, They May Be As Interested In Communicating With Humans As We Are Keen To Communicate With Ants.
