A Rose By Any Other Name!

William Shakespeare famously wrote the title of this post. This blog post is about a "rose" that by another name is taken as something else by many. It is about something we all live with and use every day. It is bigger than a breadbasket. It is outer space.
Now you may say outer space is not a rose. I suppose it is metaphorically quite a rose by another name! What if you look closely at the matter with your intelligence faculty.
Does outer space contain information? Why if you are reading this, you know it does. It is loaded with data in books, libraries, on files, and in cyberspace. Does outer space contain power? Look at the stars, the sun, gravity, and lightning, not to mention fossil fuels, nuclear power, etcetera. Yes, outer space has loads more energy in it than we have in our use in 21st-century humanity as presented in the news world's information stations. Together this may be nothing on its own. What can outer space do with all the information in it and all the power there? Well, what if it is a sentient living self-willed agent?
I think space is the first being that existed from before time was measured, and intelligence a tinkling in anybody's eye. Before mountains and valleys, streams and sea, fields and plain were ever thought of let alone existed. I believe space is naturally a living mind that discovered it has all the abilities of a god and is the creator of anything that exists. But what do I know...
