The interior, [a scientist] says, is probably largely water molecules instead of primarily something like rock. But it’s not water in familiar frozen or liquid forms.
“We’re not talking about either a frozen core of normal ice or a liquid water ocean,” Berta says. “You’re getting into weird states of matter when you’re describing this.”
Current mood: stressed
My eye recently landed on the fluid nature of water. It is something that outflows all over the world and the remarkable thing is that it does not accept resistance. If the water in a given stream flows beautifully for many years and is then obstructed by fallen trees or rocks, it finds its way to weave and flow around the resistance.
My mind turns to what I would do with gasoline today. At the moment of this writing a gallon of oil is worth $119. It wouldn’t do me a bit of good to remember when, as a teenager, I could buy gasoline for 95¢ a gallon.
I hope I would react to the current price of gasoline. Next Saturday or Sunday I would drive my car 10 miles to the west, then 10 miles to the east, then north and then south. With that coverage of my part of the particular universe, I would try to uncover as many new discoveries as I could.
One of the key thoughts that I hope we can all count on is to recognize that there are many “diamonds” in our own backyard. Let’s be like water and overcome obstacles that we might face, and try to flow around them.
