    Fake news......the world is flat and so is the universe.

    BTW, I saw what I believe is a new image from the Spitzer telescope with a WAY bigger slice of sky. It has an unimaginable number of galaxies in it. I’ll see if I can follow up later today when I get some time.

    The woods are lovely, dark and deep.

    Neither am I. I claim the same right to incomprehensibility.

    What's interesting to me is how we (Mankind) have gone from being the center of the Universe to be one small element in a huge expansive system of many galaxies and universes. But, now that I think about it - maybe we were closer to God back when we didn't understand how the Universe works.

    Anyone who says he knows how the universe works is either delusional or a liar. We are nowhere near that understanding.

    We are flying a drone on another planet. Incomprehensible science for almost everyone.

    I can’t wait to see the images from the Webb telescope when it finally becomes operational.

    This article on the muon g-2 experiment shows there are more thing in heaven and earth, Horatio, then are dreamt of in your philosophy.

    Virtual particles that flit in and out of existence in a couple millionths of a second, the key to understand dark matter, why there is any matter at all; the sheer tonnage of what we don't know is staggering.

    I think there are just some things we're not supposed to know.

    And yet we still like women.

    O.K., whom am I kidding? We love women.
