It connects the dots between colonizing Mars and conscious breathing, peripheral vision to multiple dimensions, pH levels, smashing atoms, the power of sound and language and half way to just about anything you can wrap your head around, because... that's what the beginning of exploring consciousness (and it’s most desirable states) is all about.
