On this dark and rainy morning, I sit at my desk and contemplate the majesty of great thinking and brilliance in the governance of science. We have learned about the universe. I hope you allow me to delude you into reading further. Blogs entries are burnt in the quick skim and equally deluged through the movement of that hideous scroll button on the right of the screen. I hope you do not roll your pointer across it, but only if to read some more. Do so in the pace duly serviced for the elegance of great works of literary works. Now, as I have your full attention, and the clear certainty that you have gotten this far onto the page, without clicking impiously away from this very screen you find yourself on, I hope to speak to you about the grandeur of what we know, of the greatness of our understanding, and the cosmic portions of that knowledge. Yes, indeed it is amazing how we have delved into fabric of the universe, peered at the nucleus of atoms and the farthest reaches of our universe, at stars distant and galaxies spinning a million light years away. The little spaceship we call Earth, flying through the vast empty space of the universe, spinning swiftly around an average star, and rarely encountering anything but flakes of asteroids and meteorites as they grapple with the gravity of the sun. Yes, on this raining day, sitting in my darkened office at a desk, I ponder such strange notions, and just hope that you do as well. Now, be off and surf away on the thin carpet of electronic knowledge we call the internet.
