Breathtaking indeed. Like touching the greatest mistery of all. I know it's just a passing feeling, but sometimes I wonder what if science exists exactly because of and for such moments? Reminds me of "Eritis sicut Deus, scientes bonum et malum", from Genesis 3:5 (Vulgate) and, more importantly, "Faust". Sometimes it's not quite clear with modern science, whether to behold in silence, or to laugh out loudly. Only time will tell. Or will not. Damn it.

Also ties into your earlier discussion of Jung, whose discussion of synchronicity with the rare beetle is frequently quoted as being the starting point for the study of the concept.

Strange, that was almost exactly the topic of a pretty hot discussion between me and my colleague last week. He's got a Ph.D. thesis on gnoseologic analysis of a problem of reality in science, so we clashed upon phenomenological approach in mental health disorders treatment. We've been arguing about religion, too, invoking a good bit of I. Kant and M. Heidegger among other things. I didn't realize that I'd have such a solid backup soon, especially from a quantum physicist. Such a synchrony, Bruce, thank You very much for that link. Skarda's book on perceptual neuroscience mentioned in comments seems to be an entertaining read, too. That stuff by Bernard d’Espagnat is quite impressive, if not to say shocking.
