Yes, I've found some answers in Science and some in other areas
   of inquiry. Some of science's answers I'm dissatisfied with
   because they rest on some unspoken assumptions, and so I keep
   researching.

   For example, at 11 years old, I had a moment where I wondered,
   'What if there was no color and only refractions of light and
   density of things could tell things apart?" [we had just gone
   over how light works in school]

   and for a few minutes, it was as if I could see, superimposed on
   reality, all the colors gone and I was able to imagine seeing
   through myself, through the earth, able to distinguish the
   differences between things but not by color or by lines but more
   like textures I guess.

   I looked up and could see through the roof while the roof
   remained and through planets and suns to the end of the universe
   with sharpness and distinction yet without lines or color, not
   even white or black.

   It was a cool experience and, as nutty as it seems, I can recall
   it and redo it, and the more I learn about "what lies beneath"
   physical objects - the density and shapes of materials, the more
   clear it gets. It's part of what keeps everything in life
   absolutely fascinating to me.

   One of the things that annoyed me was, "Why can't the electrons
   just cooperate, line up like two sets of window blinds, and just
   allow things to pass through each other?

   That one bugged me for a long time until I learned about the
   Pauli Exclusion principle, fermions, bosons, charges, and being
   stuck on variations of the Casimir effect from hundreds of years
   ago.

   Then I got annoyed with those things. I *still* think it should
   be possible, eventually. but I know I won't see it in my
   lifetime. I just don't like areas where we're asked to accept,
   "Well, that's just how it is".

   Oh well they're just some of the things I find interesting. Now,
   my 9 year old nephew came out bugging me to install mods for
   Minecraft that he wants to play with me on our LAN, and says
   I've been typing for too long. But I'll return later
