What exactly do you mean by *mystical?*  Therein, I suspect, lies the  
rub;  I say it's in no way mystical, merely physical --- and very  
complex.

(And yes, it is vast and mysterious;  but I assert that it is neither  
so vast nor inherently so mysterious as to permanently defy all  
understanding.)
