They tried to undo evolution’s pace of snails, But the stratified fossils ever told the tales Of no special humans at once unveiled, But of only natural selection’s weathered sails. On and on they say of Who paved the way, Then even tell the nature of such Theity, And on and on they presume further upon, Joining that group called ‘On and On Anon’.

More than that , it has to physical from the start , to the minutist, tiniest before being observable , to being physically observable . To us . It always was physical .
Because it a wholly subjective statement and we KNOW that the best we can do is GUESS. The rest is hubris.
↑ river ↑ As I said "for observation". But we can observe only a tiny part of reality. We exist . Nothing , no-thing , can not ever become a thing . We have been through this before Write4U .
