"Not puppets. Beloved components, say rather. Were you never grateful and kind to your own cells? Eventually, I believe I'll withdraw, grant you free will-- almost without limits. Allow you all to forget I even exist. Modify myself so that no trace of me can be detected even on the submolecular level. Be content to dwell beneath the surface of things. ."~Ribofunk p.295~
And why not? This could very well be reality. This is not science fiction. Scientists around the word are now trying to discover if there is in fact a grand Urb lurking beneath the surface. In National Geographic's March 2008 article, "The God Particle", the recently completed European Large Hadron Collider is described as doing nearly the same thing in a hunt for the ultimate nano. "The standard model can't explain several towering mysteries about the universe that have their roots in the minuscule world of particles and forces. If there's one truly extraordinary concept to emerge from the past century of inquiry, it's that the cosmos we see was once smaller than an atom. This is why particle physicists talk about cosmology and cosmologists talk about particle physics: Our existence, our entire universe, emerged from things that happened at the smallest imaginable scale." "Most physicists believe that there must be a Higgs field that pervades all space; the Higgs particle(God Particle) would be the carrier of the field and would interact with other particles, sort of the way a Jedi knight in Star Wars is the carrier of the 'force.'"
This similarity between what scientist are trying to discover and what the Urb was revealing to Greenlaw was the ultimate shock for me. Greenlaw's grand finale of unifying truth could be my own. The Higgs Particle, or God Particle, may be the urb "dwelling beneath the surface of things". I think it is awesome. I am all about being a collection of Urb spore. In a way, it is an improvement upon a random disassociated existence. Aren't we even now in this class striving to become one whole Plurk Organism? This is the ideal of our species. "The Urb gently and sincerely kissed itself". Isn't sincerity all that we can ask for?
