Connection 2


Like I said in my reflection, this chapter connected to my other classes. Almost all of the people Alberto taught Sophie about, I learned about in my physics class. I knew most of their names and equations already. I don’t think I can relate to Sophie as a person though. She gets so lost in pondering all the philosophical questions of life, how are we, why are we here, and I personally wouldn’t. I’d appreciate someone trying to educate me, but those questions just don’t matter as much to me as they do to her. I don’t think I believe in god, so regarding the ‘where did we come from’ question, I go back to the big bang theory. Why are we here? Do we have a purpose? Sure I think everyone’s life has a purpose, or maybe purposes, but one big purpose to fulfill? Not so much. These questions just don’t matter as much to me as they matter to her. I think they are interesting to discuss and listen to others opinions or ideas, but I’m not hung up on my ‘purpose in life.’
