“If we look at a glass of wine closely enough, we see the entire universe.” — Richard Feynman

It is true that if we look at a glass of wine closely enough, we see the entire universe. There are the things of physics: the twisting liquid that evaporates depending on the wind and weather, the reflections in the glass, and our imagination adds the atoms. The glass is a distillation of the earth’s rocks, and in its composition, we see the secrets of the universe’s age, and the evolution of stars.
