A universe simple enough to be understood is too simple to produce a mind capable of understanding it.
John D. Barrow said that.
So the more we understand it, the more we simplify. Or the more complex the description is.
So, while we can point fingers at who helped 2011 turn out the way it did, maybe the how and the who of it is not so simple as a murder-mystery:
And ’tis a mystery what will happen in 2012:
Of course, that won’t stop people predicting — especially around this time of year. But for the best chance of figuring out what’s going to happen, maybe the best people to listen to are people who are really good at pointing out what changes are happening now. (That’s not me.) Because often change happens before we realise it; those changes become bigger. The future then, is the present.
But we don’t need those clever clogs to tell us that there will of course be art.
