but how much can we *really* measure and observe...even if we have the instrumentation. After all., it would be a pretty sure thing to think there are frequencies and vibrations and layers of reality we haven;t even CONSIDERED, much less thought of a way to read.
...and considering Heisenberg's Principle, I venture to guess we may find exactly what we seek...

But it still begs the question... what happens IF we find we are IN the Matrix? the ramifications are infinite and cover ground from the spiritual to the arcane...beyond science, and into alchemy and dreams...
