Oct 11 2023 - The Universal Question

 

What's it all about? The universal question.  And to see a question mark in the universe seems perfect.

That's how we see this question mark in the photo taken by the James Webb Space Telescope.  The focus of the picture is is a pair of actively forming stars. But down in the corner is the unmistakable shape of a question mark.

And the answer?  "It's "all about projection," Garcia Marin explains. She says the reason we see the galaxies in a question mark shape is a result of both the angle with which they have encountered each other and our own point of view."

The "composite of a half-dozen infrared images — went viral on social media sites like X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit after the European Space Agency (one of the three agencies behind the telescope) shared it late last month, prompting the ESA to clarify weeks later that "it's not a hoax."

And that's the story.  But there are lots of answers on Reddit:

"Finally we have found the question for that 42" 

"The riddler strikes again?"

"I don't know what it is but it was obviously put there by the same creatures that built the face shaped mountain on Mars."

“It’s a white hole.” - The Cat

"Maybe some galactic Stranger and Freak mission from Galaxy Theft Auto."
 

"If we knew, it wouldn’t be a question mark…"

What if...

Wake Up on the Bright Side 

 

What If questions are considered the questions that reimagine the future.  Forbes tells me so.

The forbes.com article tells me that a 'what if' question is one where the brain usually holds no previous precedent, paradigm or example to rely upon for an acceptable answer, so the answer heads to a different area of the brain.

The Forbes article goes on to present these questions for our consideration:
• Health: "What if I felt energetic, focused and ready to go every morning?"
• Adventure: "What if I took the most outrageous adventure of my life this year?"
• Wealth/Investments: "What if I had $5 million in liquid assets invested by 2025?"
• Learning: "What if I finally learned to paint with watercolors?"
• Team: "What if we doubled our sales this year?"
Here's a question that seems very familiar.  It is the premise for a series of novels/movies (by Robert Ludlum). 
 
  • What if you woke up one morning with only the clothes you sleep in all alone in another country unable to speak the country’s language?

And here is Einstein's famous 'what if' question:

"What if I could ride a beam of light across the universe?"
