Getting the heck out of Dodge

| No Comments
Many will say, and perhaps wisely, that it is impossible to step out of a network of which we are a part, and thereby know it.  So academics will say why bother asking the question, and others will assign God.

But what if consciousness is from a different network?  And we find in the human species an intersection of two networks, a network of consciousness and of biology, neither of which is particularly restricted to this planet, but exist in their own network planes.  In this scenario we could state that the act of searching for other solar systems and planets, is really about the search for other nodes of a third network, a planetary one.

This leads to the question of what an intersection of networks would look like?  Well, I am always amused by, and often in awe of, the synchronicity in my own life.  So about a week after I started up this blog, I found out about, and went to, NASA's Astronomy Picture of Day site, highly recommended by the way.  I decided to go to the picture for the day of my first blog post here, and ta-da, a picture of the intersection of stellar networks, colored blue by our perspective.

Interesting yes, but what would the intersection of different types of networks look like?  Could they even exist on a plane where they could intersect.  A universal plane?  I fear that my thinking/writing today is starting to sound a bit sophistic, so will give it a rest.
