circles not lines

for some reason, our culture thinks that time moves in a linear fashion, extending as far along as we will ever exist. but that wasnt the case to the mesoamericans. they believed that there were cycles of time, being destroyed and recreated repeatedly.

somehow this reminds me of physics. and my speed of light lab. yes, i am an avid hater of physics. but during a discussion today, i realized that the speed or velocity of light is not just a quantity or label that allows humans to understand light. that the speed of light is an entity that humans can never fully understand but it still plays a huge part in our lives and the universe's. the interconnectivity of us and light and everything else that reaches us in our lifetimes is a force that we must preserve and protect. if not, we risk eternal chaos, internally and externally.
