There is something about the way we talk about Science that’s always interested me. When talking about equilibrium states, we often speak as though the Universe wants equilibrium.

Does the electron *want* to be attracted to a proton? Does the North pole *want* to be with the South pole? Does the East want to meaet the West? Does the universe want to go from Chaos to Order, or from Order to Chaos? After all, as Maxwell said: “All heat is of the same kind.” Is all energy of the same kind? Is all matter, living or not, of the same kind? Does all matter want? Do all Fundamental Forces need? Do the Quantum Fields desire!?

Why do donuts wanna be eaten with coffee, and muffins with tea?

And Robert tells me there’s a link between Fashion, Faith, and Fantasy.

Or perhaps it’s all a mathematical illusion…

It’s not the Particles, but the Patterns, that really matter

Why is a sense of impending doom a harbinger to disaster?
How can our mind know its future before our bodies in these cases?

Why do muffins wanna be eaten with coffee, and donuts with tea?
