The Amazing Thing Is That Every Atom

A Truly Open Mind Means Forcing Our Imaginations To Conform To The Evidence Of Reality, And Not Vice Versa.

As A Scientist, I Don't Believe Anything. Science Shouldn't Use The Word Belief. There Are Things More Likely And Less Likely. Science Can Say Nothing With Absolute Certainty.

Now, Almost One Hundred Years Later, It Is Difficult To Fully Appreciate How Much Our Picture Of The Universe Has Changed In The Span Of A Single Human Lifetime. As Far As The Scientific Community In 1917 Was Concerned, The Universe Was Static And Eternal, And Consisted Of A One Single Galaxy, Our Milky Way, Surrounded By Vast, Infinite, Dark, And Empty Space. This Is, After All, What You Would Guess By Looking Up At The Night Sky With Your Eyes, Or With A Small Telescope, And At The Time There Was Little Reason To Suspect Otherwise.

In 5 Billion Years, The Expansion Of The Universe Will Have Progressed To The Point Where All Other Galaxies Will Have Receded Beyond Detection. Indeed, They Will Be Receding Faster Than The Speed Of Light, So Detection Will Be Impossible. Future Civilizations Will Discover Science And All Its Laws, And Never Know About Other Galaxies Or The Cosmic Background Radiation. They Will Inevitably Come To The Wrong Conclusion About The Universe......we Live In A Special Time, The Only Time, Where We Can Observationally Verify That We Live In A Special Time.

Forget Jesus. The Stars Died So That You Could Be Here Today.
