Black holes make me crazy. If I start thinking abut space too much, I enter this terrible state of despair because I cannot know the answers... This is a fabulous photo.

When I first caught this image it sent a chill up my spine. To think that something like that is part of the universe, and thus in a way part of me is simply awe inspiring. I am a firm believer in the idea that space/time is a kind of a usefull illusion. I think that we are all manafestations of the grand unified field, so in fact I am part of that and that is part of me.
