So… I havent posted for weeks due to frantic exam panic, but guess what?

They finished last thursday!

So in celebration of this momentous occasion, allow me to enlighten you about the amazing foresight of greek philosephers and alchemists.

In modern physics, there is a theory stating that all matter and antimatter trends towards the lowest energy, most stable state possible (this is why that when a strangelet is created, it will in theory hyperstableize all matter it contacts, causing a massive chain reaction and release of evergy). Now as it tunrs out, this idea isn’t exactly new…

In fact, the idea stems from some 2300 years ago. The alchemists of ancient greece (who were most often also philosiphers), just after the time of Aristotle and with the help of his observations created a theory of Prima Materia. This theory, through a number of less than scientific conduits states that all matter STEMS from a state formless chaos, the Pirma Materia. Now this may seem like a direct contradiction of the modern theory, but it also states that as the complexity of matter increases away from the base state through the input of energy, the easier it is upon withdrawal of that energy for the matter to return to chaos. This mirrors the moden lin of thinking so much so that as with many of history’s greatest ideas, the question of where they developed the idea must arise. Some sentient force driving humanity’s technological advancement throughout history? Could there possibly be a god of science, steering humanity, so that many experiment’s “accicdental results” cause inventions that advance the human race (grahme bell’s telephone, flemming’s penacillin) .

Atheists hate the idea, but an agnostic such as myself… well, it’s an interesting possibility
