How the Universe Works

A long time ago, when I took chemistry in high school, I thought about the properties of the elements and how they changed when they became compounds.  That caused me to realize that,  as small as an atom was, they had to be made up of even smaller things.  I had no idea back then about quantum mechanics, but I realized then that, whatever these smaller units were, the properties they would have to have would seem to be simply magical.  This is because, underlying the physics of our level of existence, the foundations would have to have properties not of this world to our ways of thinking.



As much as I enjoy the big bang theory, there are troubling questions and evidence that would seriously impact, if not radically change the way the universe started, if it started at all. But I'll leave that for a later post. Enjoy the video.
