Romantic Matter & Other Theories

There’s also beauty at smaller dimensions.
~ Richard Feynman

Scientific examinations of the natural world are often filled with poetic metaphor and analogy to common human experience…
Dark matter makes up most of the universe, yet eludes scientists and can only be identified by its effect on other matter. 
I pursued a non-scientist interest in neuroscience, quantum theories on the structure of the universe,
dark matter, particles & waves, oscillating strings and so on…
to see where it would lead.
~ Kris Iden
