A speck of dust atop a clover flower?
Not long ago, I watched Horton Hears a Who (which is a cute movie, by the way). Dr. Seuss is deep and Whoville always gets me thinking.
In Horton Hears a Who, Whoville – an entire world – is in a speck of dust atop a clover flower and the Whos had no idea that there was anything bigger beyond them. . . much less many, many MUCH bigger things – like Horton who is an elephant!
So, it got me thinking. . .
How do we know that our world isn’t in a speck of dust atop a clover flower?
. . .and what if it is?

If we are, let’s hope nobody bigger sneezes

Well, I guess we don’t actually know. But if it is, then I wish we could see outside of it and look at the clover flower.

How scary is it if I think that question every time I read that book? Too scary? I thought so.
