[Jacob Schierl · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was entertained by the scientific speculation from a poet-philosopher. It was enjoyable to read along and try to follow his logic without having to have any scientific instruments. Too bad he is staunchly atheistic and has so many bad takes. What a grim worldview he has - no wonder he is rumored to have killed himself!
