The Milky Way

i was a disillusioned kid with, you know, an over idealistic kid. Went off to africa, went off to south america, and went off eventually to india. Moved into an old cow shed,. spent about eight months there, goingo to parts of my brain that one shouldn't really have access to. What is that truth? Not above reason, but beyond it. It's like, how the fok can this be a coincidence? But how does it go from this wonderful coincidence into being something that’s accepted, or has research put behind it, and something that then becomes a truth?
