Last night I strolled into the garden for my “last widdle of the day” ritual, as I do every night. I wandered over to my favourite rock and cocked my leg then watched as Jess and Alf did their business and headed inside. I like to be last in to make sure that my big sister and brother get in ok, and make sure the garden is secure.

Instead of going straight in though, I sat down and looked up. I could see stars twinkling down, winking at me and I felt at peace. Dad was tucking Jess in so I had a minute or so to myself, just to sit there and look at the stars. I remembered an old skin I heard about called Hermes or Herman or something who was from Egypt or Greece or somewhere that’s probably on the other side of the fields down the bottom of our road; he lived a long way away and a long time ago, he probably had a beard. He said something about “As is above, so is below,” I think that’s what he said. I’d never thought about it before, it’s just one of the crazy things skins come out with when they’re trying to pretend that they’re intelligent. Yet as all dogs know, skins couldn’t find their own butts with both hands without us to look after them.

Last night as I gazed up at the stars, it occurred to me that the bearded one was right; keep up with me now. If you look at the stars, each one of them is a sun like we’ve got, each with their own planets circling them. Now, think about the atoms that make up your bodies; each of them has a nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons that looks like a micro solar system. I bet a penny to a pinch of pig poo that inside the nucleus there the whole thing is repeated but smaller. And the solar system is only one of billions that make up a galaxy, and the galaxy is only one of billions that make up the universe; I will go double or nothing on that penny to say that there are billions more universes!

So what does this mean? Well it means, as I look at it, we are all connected to and part of …..well, everything! Taking it further, something holds all this together, something is inbetween the solid matter, be it suns and planets or protons, neutrons and electrons. This is not a vacuum, it cannot be nothing because nothing by definition cannot exist. This dark matter, this vibration, this multi-universal consciousness binds everything. Some may refer to it as God, because God is everywhere. Doesn’t that lead to a logical conclusion that God is in all of us and we are all part of God? This is not about religion, this is physics.

“Y’ok boy?” I looked around and dad was stood in the doorway, the light from the kitchen forming a halo around his head as he smiled down at me. Maybe I was wrong after all.

In the news these terribly bright skins are preparing to announce details about their hunt for the elusive Higgs Bosun, the so-called God Particle. I’m not going to go into too much detail about theoretical particle physics because I am still a puppy, so if you are of a nerdish disposition and want to learn more then follow this link to the BBC website where more info is available.

The long and short of it is, these scientists have spent billions to build a machine to find the tiniest thing you can imagine, and they don’t even know if it’s there or not. If it is there where they predict and it is the thing that gives everything its mass then they will have proved right the standard model of physics. But here’s the funny thing: they don’t want it to be there! If they can prove its not there then it opens the door to new theories. New theories create new opportunities for investigation and new reasons for them to build machines that cost billions and give them a reason to exist.

On the other side of the life, the universe and everything coin are the skins who believe what it says in the Bible, God created heaven and earth, plants, animals, sky and sea, and last of all skins in six days and rested on the seventh. No wonder He needed a rest after all that. The thing that bothers me the most about this is why would He invent skins in the first place? Seeing as He knows everything, He must have realised that they would set out to bring the whole house crashing down on top of them? Like termites, their whole purpose seems to be to destroy everything.

My question is this: what does it matter? This endless and pointless search for knowledge about our planet’s place in the universe, skins….it don’t matter. What matters is where we are now, today. What matters is instead of hiding in a laboratory underground and looking curiously up your own butts, go outside, feel the sun warm your face, then you’ll know where you are. Spend the money on lifting the third world out of poverty, give them tools, education and let them feed themselves. Stop exploiting them and keeping them down. There are 7 billion skins on this planet, many of them living in absolute poverty; without food, clean water, medicine, education, or a way of earning a living. So what the hell does it matter to them what’s holding the mass of the universe together? Why are billions being spent on these machines that only benefit the overly large brains of boffins when billions are holding out their hands?
