The universe is ultimately governed by mathematics. So would it be surprising if its creator - if there is one - would be a mathematician? At this point, cutting-edge physics is no longer observable, just conceivable - but only through math. And what physicists are doing now is to figure out the most basic laws of physics that governs the fundamental forces in the universe, by showing how consistent their math models are to the limited evidence provided presently.

Wish them luck...

Love and Relativity is an epistolary short story being read from the perspective of a long lost husband and father, on his wife's despairs and his daughter's journey to find him. It's a good estimation on the consequences of the paradoxes brought on by Einstein's theory of Special Relativity.

Maybe love, just like timespace, transcends human understanding.

Here's a question. When you've figured out how the building blocks of universe works, what's the first thing you do with that knowledge? The obvious answer: make better versions of the universe itself. Humans have been doing that since the dawn of civilisation: we built monuments using, at first, stone, then bricks, then concrete, and finally steel.

Making better things had always been the prime mover of our ascent to civilisation. And we're still doing it today. That's where material sciences come into play...

For many of us, chemistry is about mixing chemicals, balancing equations, and endless measuring. But there's also an artistic, aesthetic, even philosophical appeal to it.

Precipitation reactions were used in this sense, but of course understanding it is a prerequisite.
