Um and it may be turtles all the way down, that there's just a never-ending sequence of ever more fundamental theories.
Each of which comes with its own notion of what the microphysical constituents are.
Or it may be this taps out at some most fundamental theory that we have not yet discovered.
And then its microphysical constituents are the microphysical constituents on which all other things and phenomena supervene.
I don't know the answer to that.
But but but that's precisely what I mean microphysical on some particular theory you have of the world.
I look at this and just see a mystery and where I see a mystery I want to go.
I don't have any other presuppositions as to what I'll find.
I mean, there's so many different ways this could go.
Um, there's uh one of the opening couch gags on The Simpsons in which
The camera zooms out from the Simpsons family as they sit on the couch, and it zooms out, and you see the Earth, and you see the solar system, and you see the galaxy, and you see all the galaxies, and you keep zooming and zooming out, and so you see the whole observable universe.
And as you keep zooming out, you see atoms and then molecules, and eventually you pull out and you see, you know, and and Homer, you know, he says, you know, wow.
similar thing that happens in an episode of Adventure Time.
There's a a plug for Adventure Time, um when, you know, uh uh Finn puts on these these these glasses, the the spectacles of Nerdicon, I think it's like.
And you see the same kind of, you know, you pull all the way out and you return, you know.
So it could be
Something bizarre like that where it it isn't infinite.
Yes.
In a sense, maybe there's some kind of cyclicity to it, or maybe something we haven't even thought of.
I mean, like I said.
