I keep believing I have a decent grasp on cosmology, only to discover that my knowledge is no longer viable. But I guess it's comforting knowing that I'm not alone in this. In fact, as far as understanding is concerned, Brian and I might as well be next door neighbors. Party at my house, everyone. BYOT, please - Bring Your Own Theories!
I’ve heard others express the same sentiment. It brings to mind the time my husband and I saw Scott Kelly in an appearance in Bay City, MI. He also stated how seeing the Earth from space was a life changing experience – you never look at it the same again. Thus, I think it would be beneficial for self-centered politicians spewing well-rehearsed narrow-minded party lines to view the Earth from 250 miles above. To see it as a fragile blue sphere without lines of demarcation. Maybe, just maybe they’d step away from the experience with a broader view of life.
