I wonder, do you ever read "Solaris" Stanislaw Lem?

I have not. Do I understand correctly, it was possible to communicate with an entire ocean as though it is a sentient being? How is that to "wrap one's head around??"

Oh hey! That is an idea in the social sciences! A person is sometimes capable of making a discovery, inventing some technology, by making a mistake. Or, coming to a mistaken notion.

The people become aware of something and think that they understand it. They begin to act on this assumption, however, they are mistaken. Whatever they observed, or thought they observed, is wrong. Too late! They are off trying to replicate this notion that they have.

It may prove to be a dead end. Or, it may not! Even in failure, people are often able to gain a better understanding of the workings of the world.

Somehow, this seems to me that they would be experiencing Serendipity .

... sorta the basis of the idea that gets me into all sorts of messes - "If it's broken beyond working, I can't break it any worse by trying to fix it."

Cane I always tell my clients " if it is not broken don't fix it.

Solaris - for those who have the Person of "stalker" in his blood. Some people can not read it. They see the trees, but do not see the forest behind the trees.
Yes, the ocean - a living sentient being. People are trying to study it, but ocean studying of people. Peculiarly studying, materializing the images from the memory of people.
I do not know whether Lem believer or agnostic, but he suggested we consider the contact with God. At least, the local God in the cosmic sense. The ocean had features and capabilities that we traditionally attribute to only one Creator. And contact with them has been very mixed.
The ocean looked to where the person is afraid to look within themselves.
One of the main questions is: "What makes us human?"
Next: "What makes us specific human?"
Then: "Can a creature on the basis of the neutrino with the characteristics and features of a specific person is the name of this particular person?
And if must not , then who he is? "
The Americans withdrew in 2002 on "Solaris" film with George Clooney in the title role. Lem cursed this adaptation, the director called the fool and said: "Love in space interests me least of all for the sake of God, it was just a background.." Incidentally, the Russian film "Solaris" also does not correspond to the plan Lem.
Therefore, it should be read.
Very clever and ambiguous book. It makes you think. It deserves that be read.
Lem said that he is not fully aware of his work. Therefore, "Solaris" can be called Serendipity for readers.

And yet, others see the forest, but not the tree/trees~
