Christian muons


In Tuesday's Plain Dealer (pg. 6A) I found the most interesting scientific fact of the century (so far) - - I think it is. From that 'crazy' instrument - the 'particle accelerator' scientists found 'muons and 'anti-muons'. To be scientifically perfect, these should be created in exactly the same number.

But they were not. Somehow 'muons' were created a fraction more than 'anti-muons'. This extremely small difference - when multiplied millions of times - - created a universe when human beings could exist. Muons were considered the positive force - anti-muons the negative force.

This reminds me of the story of the butterfly which fluttered its wings in Tokyo and created a cyclone in NYC. Or - when I was a child - the story of the horse which lost a nail from his shoe - and therefore the horse was lost - because the horse was lost, the squad was lost, etc. Until the battle was lost, - all because of the loss of a nail in a shoe.

Such very small items speaks so positively to me as a Christian. One person can truly make a difference - - science has proven - - . Small good actions do get multiplied - and big changes happen.

Isn't it amazing how science and religion can really say the same thing !
