"We shall never cease our exploration, and the end of our exploring we will get back to where we started and know it for the first time"
It was an interesting tour of wild misconceptions people had throughout times. The best idea to push my buttons, was that "juxtaposition is the spice of life".

Het minst interessant vond ik het stuk van Jules Bergman.
James Burke's invalshoek was vernieuwend.
Ik ben fan van Isaac Asimov. Ik vind het ook gemakkelijk om hem in zijn gedachtengang te volgen.
