After sleeping in today, being exhausted from the paddling Saturday, Jason and I decided to hit the IMAX dome theater at MOSI to check out one of the movies. since we're planning on seeing the 'Monsters of the Deep' exhibit by the end of the week, we figured this would be a good preliminary exposure. The movie was produced by James Cameron and covered a short story of marine biologists and even astro biologists diving to the ocean's bottom (e.g. 3,500 meters) to explore life in the most harsh of environments of chemicals and physics where there are extreme pressures and temperatures within inches (where many of these creatures thrive) ranges from freezing to boiling. The show ran a bit longer than most of the IMAX films tend to do and was quite enjoyable and interesting. There were so many great displays of some wondrous and truly amazing creatures. It would be amazing to see the kind of things that the human imagination would barely be able to conceive. A good point was made in that the study of these creatures would be vital in learning about life that is so detached from our own, such as may be the case if anything is ever found on other planets, for example Europa. Visits to the deep such as that really can color the imagination.

Man is not the creature of circumstances; circumstances are the creatures of men.
