I just realized the similarities, to me, in physics/astronomy, music, and cooking  – all things I don’t know much about. To me, the are all awe-inspiring, exactly because I don’t understand them. How we figured out how to cook and blend flavors and use spices, how the world works in all its intricacy, and how people understand music theory are all beyond me. I admire people who “get” these things, while they leave me at a loss to understand or explain them. And yet I find them all beautiful, and the feelings I get thinking about them, trying to understand them, is what makes being human amazing.
