Uncertainty

I love that the only certainty that exists is uncertainty, and you can even give that a bit of an argue, proving that it's true! One of the things we discussed in our "eastern" minded group during class was the yin/yang nature of the universe and how well that applied to the discussion of uncertainty. There is certainty and uncertainty that exists and they are opposites. One cannot exist without the other. As certainty grows, uncertainty diminishes, and vice verse. And, interestingly enough, one always becomes the other. Like on game shows when someone is asked a trivia question, and they totally know the answer. Once asked to confirm, that seed of uncertainty that lives in their vast ocean of certainty grows until they aren't even sure about what they knew so well seconds before. Such is also true for all things that exist, like the photons. Folks were so sure, so positive that they were a wave. If it looks like a wave, acts like a wave . . . a wave, right? But wait! If we look at it another way, it looks like a particle, acts like a particle . . . must be a particle? Everything that has been proven has also been disproven, or will be once someone figures out how. Or maybe not . . .
