“When the Jesuit priest Georges Lemaître first proposed that interpretation of Hubble’s observations, his “big bang” was a bold and beautiful idea, but the evidence for it was skimpy, and it lacked a firm basis in physics.* (Lemaître himself spoke of “the primeval atom” or “the cosmic egg.” The less poetic name “big bang” came later.)”

I have a friend that has always said “By the time I get a mouth ulcer, I know that I have pushed myself too hard and my body is not getting enough nutrients to keep going.” I have taken note of that for myself. A cousin said that his stress always shows up as a feeling of toxins built up in knots in his shoulders. I recognize that one too!”
