Philosophy Wire: Weird shapes. Everywhere. Child gods.

Researchers at The Ohio State University and their colleagues are using a supercomputer to simulate what happens when two exotic superfluids mix. The simulations have produced some unusual shapes, including 'mushrooms' and this frog-like shape. [1] Seeing weird shapes everywhere. But there are no weird shapes. Seeing exceptions everywhere. But there are no exceptions. Weird fluids mixing in usual ways. Unusual fluids producing usual shapes. A cosmos full of everything. In a cosmos full of children, there are no surprises. The child god is not dead. It follows us every moment. Sitting on a dolphin, riding the waves of the rough sea… “Don’t look at me in awe”, it says smiling. “You could always ride the waves”…
