Awesome. I wish everyone on the planet would just drop spending money on petty wars, violence, and focus on the BIG picture - what's out there in the final frontier...

Maybe someday we could have ball bearings like that in our turntables.

I can't wait to get to general relativity in the fall. This is fascinating.

The only thing out there is vast, empty voids of space occasionally dotted with galaxies. And something tells me that we're not really gonna be going anywhere anytime soon unless we figure out how to travel faster than a few miles per second! Or 20mps or whatever. Which is turtle-like out there in the cosmos...

 

At least that's the impression my awesome book about the Universe left me. Space is scary!!! eek.gif

That's because there's LOTS of it.....

 

Lots of nothing interspersed with minute whisps of something or other.

If you feel small. it's because you are................
