"People get the wrong idea. If you're a scientist the two most exciting things you can be are wrong or confused, because that means there's a lot left to learn, and we are living in very exciting times. We're just like the early map makers in a sense. Just a lifetime ago we knew of one galaxy in the entire universe, now we know there are 400 billion galaxies. In a single human lifetime our picture of the universe has changed so much it's not surprising that we are continually surprised".
Lawrence M. Krauss (b. 1954)

Absolutely brilliant!
Hi Andy,
Sorry I've been AWOL for while. I'm making a conscious effort to get back into blog related stuff again.
Hi Nobbly, always a pleasure to see you online. I too am struggling with blogging enthusiasm, but let's both keep trying. Have fun!
