That makes much more sense than anything I've found to read on the subject so far actually .. thanks for that. That lets me continue watching Mr Cox, Kaku and Filippenko and co. without scratching my head with unanswered internal questions.

For the time being anyway .. :D

Thanks again.


Cox and co are appearing at the Kings Theatre next month...

Just checked the King's site and don't see anything fitting the factual bill.

It's a long held tradition, the most significant of which (that we have recorded) was that of 1652 and that destroyed a third of the city encompassing High St, Trongate, Gallowgate and part of Bidgegate. This fire ultimately led to the expulsion of 'dangerous trades' (mhm.) from the city, such as the chandlers who were sent just outside the western boundary to Candlerigs.
here i go, it's coming for me through the trees

Erm...it's a different way of looking at black holes- the sort that take your money and make it disappear.

Make that two raised glasses .. the man has me creased up at times. Dry ascerbic wit, strategically placed .. rarely fails to hit the mark.
