Hope I'm not late for the party. I've been reading a bit of Feynman lately, found this amusing quote: Feynman then goes on to pick apart what is actually in a glass of wine, including that the glass itself is distilled rock. The chapter concludes:A poet once said , "The whole universe is in a glass of wine." We will probably never know in what sense he meant that, for poets do not write to be understood.
If our small minds, for some convenience, divide this glass of wine, this universe, into parts - physics, biology, geology, astronomy, psychology, and so on - remember that nature does not know it! So let us put it all back together, not forgetting ultimately what it is for. Let it give us one more final pleasure: drink it and forget it all!
