The natural world is ironically unreal, wouldn't you say? I love diving into science from time to time, from the cosmos all the way down to micro-particles. I still can't wrap my mind around what is in the middle of Jupiter. I've done a bit of research and gotten very definitive answers that contradict one another; the best I can figure is it's pure speculation until we actually launch something into Jupiter's core. But that planetary puzzle aside, this weekend I got to watch the making of the Blue Planet documentary on Discovery and was blown away by the lake under the ocean discovered by the scientists. At something like 12,000 feet below the sea, they found a "lake"--a denser body of water within the ocean that reacted physically just like a normal lake would, with waves and ripples, a shoreline, etc. The footage looked like it was just a lake in a cave somewhere until you realized it was being shot from an underwater submarine. Unreal! If you've seen it, you know what I mean.
I love the way stuff like that simply changes your perspective on the world, even in the littlest way, to ignite curiosity and wonder all over again.
