I just want to kiss the Hubble telescope. It is such an amazing thing!
Remembering our journey to the edge of the universe! Could we do that
without Hubble? Hell No!

Oh, I had been wondering where you have been. Edge of the universe it is, then!

My elder brother has been diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer. I am very busy taking care of him.

Oh. Not the interesting happy time I envisioned in my little quip. I’m very sorry to hear this news. Such health issues are very hard things. My best wishes to you and your brother.

This thing of looking so very far away and back to the early universe is so overwhelmingly beautiful and haunting. There is no way my mind can even pretend to understand the magnitude of our universe. To think we were there, our atoms and particles that are our bodies and minds right here. Typing at this keyboard.
Nothing is as profound for me as this idea, and to see near the beginnings of it all is a very great gift.
Wow.

Hugs (if you want them).
Cancer and Alzheimers disease are proof that no god was involved in designing human biology.

To me this is the reason for consciousness. The actual universe is so amazing I don’t see why people felt the need to make up stories about it.

I should add that I do have some idea why the stories were created, it was to stoke the ego of the creator. No one has a more massive and destructive ego than one who founds a religion.

And here I have believed for years that the universe has neither center nor edge.

Right, of course. The stuff in the image is near the edge of our observable universe.

Thank you a lot for giving everyone a very memorable chance to check tips from this blog. It’s always very lovely and as well , full of a good time for me personally and my office friends to visit your web site at the very least three times every week to see the fresh stuff you will have. Of course, I am also actually satisfied with the impressive suggestions served by you. Certain two points in this article are completely the finest we’ve ever had.
