Sphere of Knowledge

I’ve had some strange thoughts lately.

When you attend university lectures you usually gain a lot of knowledge.
A little more every day.
And that’s exactly the point where my thinking starts.
What if knowledge is no different to the matter that surrounds us and that we’re made of?
Let’s visualize it this way: Imagine the amount of knowledge you possess as a sphere.
With every new piece of information you absorb, it increases its diameter (and therefore its volume, of course).
After doing the maths you can do no other than come to the conclusion that there has to be a critical point where your sphere of knowledge has to become unstable.
There must be a critical mass.
If you keep feeding the sphere with new information to keep it growing, it has no choice but to implode.
Should this scenario come true, somebody’s intellectual future is heavily troubled.
On the other hand, my ambition to reach higher levels of education might already be in vain because of a brain that produces such weird thoughts.

Anyway, I have lots of work left to do right now and of course I rise to the challenge of studying lots of documentation and papers!
But with the “sphere of knowledge” in mind, there might be a horrible future approaching.
Who would ever think that studying could be so terrifying?
