Another beautiful photo of the surface of Mars. Patterns appear everywhere in the universe (obviously one of my passions). When physics de-animated the universe, made it full of dead and inert 'matter', it had no way to then explain why this inert matter behaved in ordered or patterned ways. So it invented laws, that supposedly create the patterns. A law is just a pattern that repeats over and over. That's a big mistake. There are no laws, just as there is no matter. There are just actors, agencies. Humans interact in ways that produce patterns, without realising it. Statistics can show them, for example. The same for everything else in the universe, it all *acts*, every tiny atom or grain of it. The interaction of all of these agencies is what produces the patterns.
