There is nothing normal in our normalcy, paradoxically.

There is nothing normal about life and the universe. Setting norms with our tiny knowledge does not seem normal to me. What we know so far is only a drop in the ocean. Who can dare to say eternity is normal?

There appears to be nothing normal in nature from my perspective. It constantly throws unusual events and creates paradoxes, to our surprise.

To normal human perception, earthquakes, tsunamis, and fires are abnormal. Animals eating animals and even plants eating animals could be seen as abnormal. But nature does not care what we think about it. It continues acting abnormally.

There is nothing normal in quantum physics or quantum computing. Neither cosmology nor nanoparticles depict any normalcy.

There is nothing normal in the human body and brain. We make norms with our neocortex (thinking brain), but the old brain, archaic genes, and tiny organelles (mitochondria) run the bodily and mental shows.
