I used to imagine myself into situations and participate in them as participate in them as part of the, on an equal with other participants in the situation. I visited cells of living organisms and moved about just like the DNA molecules do, and replicated like they do, and felt as they do. Then I became much smaller and participated in the incredibly fast dances of the atoms which make up the DNA molecules as they rock back and forth about their home positions in the chain of life as it does its snake dance through the cell. Getting even smaller I watched the other electrons as we whizzed around the tiny nucleus which held us tight even though we could not see it because it was so small and far away. Then by magic I became a neutron flowing about inside the vibrating liquid drop of the nucleus as it jiggled like a drop of water on a very hot skillet. The other neutrons and I helped keep the protons from pushing each other apart too much, and we held hands in an effort to keep them together---they didn't seem to like each other for some reason I could not understand. The neutrons didn't seem to have that problem; why I don't know. There was something funny going on inside the protons and neutrons, but it was hard to tell what that was all about---but it was sort of like a boxing match being held inside a bag that was sealed tight. I didn't find out about the boxing match because Mr. Science violated my day dream; said I must get to work and memorize the elements in the periodic chart---why he never said. The insides of atoms were far more interesting to watch than memorizing stuff, but Mr. Science never put the stuff of my day dreams on the tests---why I can't figure out. They were far more interesting and personal than the stuff he put on the tests. His tests were not friendly the way the cells, atoms, electrons, and neutrons were. For some reason he seemed to think that science had to be impersonal---why he never said. I used to dream in science class, but that was when I was a kid and didn't know what real science was like. Now I have my PhD degree and know that the world and people are made up of impersonal constituents which obey objective laws according to mathematical equations which are exact and eternal.
