  • WTF?

    As I sit here, silently pondering the origin of my space within your time, a sense of doubt begins to creep into mind’s eye. That I exist, somehow, is certain to me. For how else could I be reading these very words? But if my space was to suddenly vanish, swiftly erased from your time, then how else might I exist? Oh, how these thoughts strangle me. Thoughts which make me feel like an oblivious fool.

    Thankfully, to this eyeball, the web is even wider than the world. And it seems to form all sorts of funny little patterns which simultaneously disturb and enrich the understanding.

    The pattern I will speak of today, however, is no mere circle.

    A physical substance was clearly there; YouTube said so. And it was clearly a perfect circle. But when another thing was introduced to the circle’s domain, an unbreakable square of sorts, it became altogether certain that I was witnessing a miracle. As if the pixels had a life of their own, the unbreakable square was suddenly sucked into the circle. And so in the center it remained, gone but no lost: invisible. The circle had regained its apparent perfection.

    Yet something else happened as I watched this YouTube video. That sense of doubt, slowly creeping into mind’s eye, began to vanish like a drop of water, patiently waiting for a miracle. Have a look for yourself.




    They call it “Magnetic Silly Putty.” Now I’m sure any old physics book can explain why a ball of silly putty is able to absorb a cube of metal. That’s not the point. The point is this: a circle hides a square inside its belly. And hell, if this is true, then who’s to say that a two-dimensional eyeball of unknown origin isn’t creeping into your mind’s eye at this very moment?

    So before I take my leave, I must first offer my apologies. I am sorry for thinking that your thoughts were strangling me.



    What the Flux.
