The jury is still out over whether this means we will have to watch the Stoke semi final in reverse. https://www.space.com/desi-cosmological-constant-dark-energy-history?mc_cid=4b6ede3a61&mc_eid=245b0dbe13 I've just had a "big crunch" thanks to the past-its use-by-date microwave shepherd's pie I got from the Co-op for lunch today. So there might be summat in what you say. But it didn't take me $12B to prove it - it was 49p. Money well spent to probe the intricacies of the cosmological constant and me poor old expanding ring-piece. I think I've just shat a good few Higg's Bosons worth of dark matter. The splash-back probably contained the secret of the long sought after relationship between gravity and quantum field theory. Be a Nobel prize there if I hadn't flushed it. Twice. Quote

I've got the opposite problem. Majorly 'egg bound' following the consumption on 6 large free rangers. I've now got a black hole from which nothing can escape, even when it is travelling at the speed of shite. Quote

He's just passionate about Astrophysics isn't he, and is a pretty good communicator? Definitely doesn't come across to me how he comes across to you. Quote

The Goldilocks zone That's what they look for when deciding if another planet out there could be inhabited And then you've got all the other random factors that led to life on earth Meteors that hit the earth off its axis so it's tilting at 23.5 degrees, otherwise we don't have seasons (something like that) A random fissure shift miles in under the sea creating a vacuum of air that led to the first incarnation of biological life (something like that) It's all so fucking random and out of control It's why I struggle with the notion that there MUST be intelligent life out there somewhere And we will never ever know anyway Quote
