27. Exciting times indeed
Especially when you have delusions of becoming a science fiction author. :hi:

I really have to pity the cosmologist. A physicist can (in theory) build experiments to test their assumptions. But when a cosmologist is trying to figure out why so much of the universe appears to be missing, or why the universe appears to be expanding faster now than in the past, or where the universe came from, he really is little different than the "natural philosophers" of the Reformation arguing over how many quanta can dance on the edge of a string.
