Quantum Physics!?!?

So on my vacation I decided I wasn't going to read anything church related. I picked up a book by someone I heard interviewed on the CBC a few months ago. It's called Quantum Zoo and the idea is to take the most difficult aspects of theoretical physics and makee them understandable to someone without the background; like me.
Okay, I can't say the pages flew by or that I really get it all, but I did grasp some of the basic ideas on the outer edge of science. I guess it's not typical pleasure readding but it did stretch my brain in a new direction.
Most interesting to me is the idea that a lot of the assumptions I was taught in school are not entirely true. At it's most basic levels the universe doesn't play by the rules it's supposed to.

2 things that intrigue me:
-the ultimate truth of the universe is light, not time or space. The Bible says a lot about light as God's first creation, an aspect of his character, and the role his pople are supposed to paly in the world (Discuss)
-The endless debate about the source and age of the world really is pointless. Time and space are not necessarily consistent. What's more important than how or when the world began is why and by who...

Subjects and Objects

I've been thinking about the words "subject" and "object" lately. What do they mean in light of faith?

I want to be a subject. I want to be something that people talk about and consider; an active player in the dramas of life. I want to be worthy of careful study for those who wonder what I'm all about.
More than those though I want to be a subject of the king. One who lives under the care and direction of one who knows infinitely more than I do and loves completely. I want to be willing to subject myself to any challenge and cost in response to that love as I discover more and more about who my king really is.

In contrast, I don't want to be an object, one who is passive, one who stands in the way and disputes things. I don't want to be someone who life happens to.

Or maybe I just spend too much thinking about words...
