Frightening Forces: Consider Ways to Make Them Useful

Are Invisible Forces Really at Work All Around Us?

_________________________

Of course there are forces we can recognize, and even tell each other about all the time, but not even the greatest scientists can agree about their exact natures. Time is one example of such: It affects every element of our existences, influences all events as they occur, and variations of it determine all their outcomes. Yet, can you describe time in a simple sentence with which others will agree?

We all know of gravity as the force "which holds all of us down". How does that work? Scientists have been working to answer that for several generations, and have yet to determine anything upon which they all will agree. The force exists. We know it does, in spite of its inaccessibility to all our senses.

There are other things than forces at work all around us—or, maybe they are forces and we simply don't recognize them as such. Some of them influence human behavior in ways that other animals seem to escape. Would there be something in the nature of our minds or bodies that enables those forces to work on us? Could it be a genetic thing?
