Reminds me of that joke about how a physicist dies and goes to Heaven, upon which he asks God why He made the speed of light as arbitrary as 186,282 miles per second.
“What do you mean?” God replies. “The speed of light is 1.”

we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through underground networks. where octopuses dream. where elephants return to the bones of their dead and stand over them in silence. where bees communicate through dance, showing each other where to fly. where flowers bloom...where crows remember human faces -especially those who were cruel to them - and pass that memory on to their young. where ants build entire cities. where cats purr at a frequency that can help heal bones. where forests, after fires, grow flowers first.
sevginin en sevdiğim yanlarından biri ilkel bir arzuyla hayatı kolaylaştırma çabası şüphesiz. saçın mı ıslak, aman dur kurutayım. yolunda taşlar mı var? kaldırayım. böyle yağmurlu havayı sevmiyorsa, yağmuru durdurmak istemek gibi, amansız ve abartılı bir istek bu.
It always blows my mind that we still don't know how to explain many seemingly very simple phenomena everyone is familiar with like why ice is slippery.
It really shows how the naive reductionist view I think most people hold intuitively, according to which the difficult part is figuring out the fundamental laws of nature but once you have that everything else more or less automatically falls into place, is completely wrong.
In truth, even after you have a pretty good idea of what the fundamental laws of nature are, most of the work to understand the world around you is still ahead of you.
