The search for answers

Astronomy, the collection of light is a science that boggles the mind in its evaluation and complexity.
The scope of exploration, the size and expense of the arrays of multi million pound high altitude telescopes that collect not only the wavelength of observable light but also the specialities of X ray, Gamma rays, Infra Red, Ultra Violet, the whole gambit of radiation which is emitted by stars in their various stages of birth and decay. The overlay of these captured images placed one on the other reveal a vivid ultra complex picture of the force of the earliest events in the history of the universe
The sub atomic world of the Neutrino and other strange particles which are there but not there, here but not here, are not observable but leave a footprint like a thief in the flower bed, the arrest is imminent but still needs identification. Another source of the energy that was manifest at the beginning of time.
Mankind, who can do the most crass things  particularly to other humans, a history littered with stupendous stupidity, has another side to its chequered history based on scientific achievement and philosophical reasoning.
We are too quick to despise the dark side of human nature and cast history as a succession of blunders and cold hearted power play but on the other side of the coin, mankind has been magnificent in the continuing search for answers.
