We love the Voynich manuscript mystery so much that we cannot resist posting about it again this month!

This is a very detailed and well done documentary from National Geo about the mysterious Voynich manuscript – a beautiful handmade book that continues to befuddle all experts who attempt to understand it. What IS known is that the manuscript is not a forgery — it is very old. It was also created using the very best parchment and paints possible at the time.

Someone was highly motivated to create this book. But why?

 The Book That Can’t Be Read

Quantum mechanics (the very small) and general relativity (the very large and the very fast) are the two grand theories that science uses to explain the universe – however, these two theories are totally incompatible with each other. What does this mean? Certainly it implies that nature is smarter than we are, and also, that our theories to date are only mere sketches of what we need to truly understand reality…

Is the fact that our theories contradict each other proof that there is a god, or that science is wrong? What do you think?

Enjoy a little smarts for the day from esteemed scientist Michio Kaku –

Relativity happens —  even on your body! Apparently time “beats” at a faster rate at the top of your head than on the bottoms of your feet…
