In this article we learn that information from a meteorite found on Earth may give us clues about a long-ago state of the second most massive asteroid of our Solar system. Here is my reaction to the news.
Amazing wealth of information from a microscopic piece of rock that came from a big chunk of rock that came from a huge pile of "burning gas" that came from a gigantic blast of a "fidgety" point of nothingness:
The Big Bang.
OK, this last point challenges our commonsensical world view beyond the limits of most of us...
But isn't systematic observation, imaginative interpretation, critical conclusion, and brave theory formation just awe-inspiring?
Boy, don't you just love science!
- And yes, I purposfully didn't write in the title: ... praise The Science :) -

What amazes me that since the original "Big Bang" the same phenomenon did not occur though all ingredients are present to have a repeat.
ReplyDeleteHmm, another Big Bang, a new Universe, within the space-time of our known Universe? Two Universes competing for the same space-time? Doesn't sound too feasible to me - but then, does the Big Bang sound feasible to anybody but perhaps a handful of theoreticians? -
DeleteHowever, what about the Black Holes?
Or, perhaps a new space-time outside our Universe? A parallel Universe? (Thanks Brian Greene!) But we'll never know about that, would we!
Oh, we're so closed in with this speed limit of the light :)
