Astronomy and Cosmology are vast fields and everything is connected through the stuff of the Universe, from the largest stellar objects to the infinitely small particles and energy that makes it all up. As immense as it seems, our imaginations feverishly push our exploration. The idea that explanations can be found for the cosmos is only made possible by the creative imagination of those who dare to seek out the answers and try to apply our understanding of physics to make sense of it all.
I believe that opening our minds to what may not seem possible can often lead to great discoveries in science. Our perceptions, however, are often the custodian of our limitations. Being comfortable and complacent with all around us, we place our attentions on day to day activities. This diverts our focus away from imagination and replaces it with what we think as practicality. The problem with that is that there is a universe out there that does not always act practical. In order to appreciate it and stem exploration, we will always need to capitalize on our imagination. Early science fiction is loaded with ideas that have since become reality. This is a result of imagination exploration. The more we explore, the more we encounter new mysteries in the cosmos. It is this endless set of questions that keeps us exploring and moving forward with discovery.
If we knew everything already, our existence would be quite boring. Each day brings new discovery and innovation. In fact, this text was updated several times with new ideas and they just keep on coming! At some point the text has to be published but a watchful eye will be maintained on the incredible things that are happening all around us. There is excitement afoot and those who feel it know it in themselves. These are the explorers that will lead the next generation. The possibilities are endless and woven into the fabric of our universe and within our own minds are the endless discoveries that await us.
