Wow! Fascinating stuff.

lol at molgrips. I gave up reading it as it was obviously aimed at retards who have no real interest in astronomy

Ooooooo and we only had to wait four posts for the stereotypical sanctimonious STW response.

Thanks for that. I’m obviously a retard, as my interest in astronomy from childhood seems to have no significance whatsoever. 🙄

Obvious Toll is obvious

Obviously an expert then. Oh, can we have a look at your credentials as an astrophysicist, please, just so we’re certain you know what you’re talking about.

I thought it was a good article – it’s not a scientific paper, of course, but it’s well written for a lay audience.

(And I do have a degree in astrophysics)

I thought this was going to be about the clangers 🙁

Interesting article, ta. I should clarify that I am indeed a retard though.

Thought this was about TJ for a moment

You do look, my son, in a moved sort,
As if you were dismay’d. Be cheerful, sir.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air,
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
