Hvítserkur Aurora by Jos Buurmans Via Flickr: The Aurora Borealis gracing the night sky above the legendary Hvitserkur sea stack in the northern reaches of Iceland. The vivid streaks of colourful light emanating from the aurora appear as if they were cascading upon this enigmatic creature, forever frozen in stone.

Hvítserkur is a 15 m high basalt stack along the eastern shore of the Vatnsnes peninsula, in northwest Iceland. The rock has two holes at the base, which give it the appearance of a dragon who is drinking. The base of the stack has been reinforced with concrete to protect its foundations from the sea.

“Matter, which appears to be dense according to physics, actually is made up mostly of empty space, with a few very small particules moving around like planets. At high energy, other particles pass through what appears to be solid matter.

[…] As you probe more deeply into matter, it appears to have more and more subtle properties. In my view, the implications of physics seem to be that nature is so subtle that it could be almost alive or intelligent.

[…] The question is whether matter is rather crude and mechanical, or whether it gets more and more subtle, and becomes indistinguishable from what people have called mind.”

— David Bohm, quoted in Renée Weber’s Dialogues with Scientists and Sages: The Search for Unity
