On describing what's going on

The introduction: wondering why some people ask questions that others cannot.
It all begun (i think) during an unusual winter night at the seacoast. A painter, a violinist and a biochemist watching a TV physisist explaining why gold wwas not created in this world, but rather came from somewhere else. The question was posed by Mr. Mendelev.
How many people the world had to have -and how old it had to be-, in order to hear such a question?
And so on.

What questions haven't we asked yet?

It is wonderous to listen to questions. Some we might have intuited, some others hit us by surprise. They might come from worldly observations that we have not even noticed.
A thought for tonight: all those questions that have startled us, all those observations that we have let pass by, all those answers, elaborated and delicious, that address the unquestioned and unobserved.

The world is big for those who wonder.
