Just finished reading Asimov's "Atom: A Journey Through the Sub-Atomic Cosmos" .... and it has pictures too .... As I was grappling with the concept of antimatter, neutrinos, and how everything seems to obey the laws of conservation, even in the absence of a unified field theory, it struck me that there may be some guiding force in the Universe. While these musings are not going to send me scurrying off to the nearest Church, they are making me think in a sort of religious way ... but it's not making me happy, or even content. I think that what makes some people happy is the belief that all the s**t we have to put up with must have some purpose. This, I am not prepared to believe.
