To paraphrase that font of modern pop philosophy John Lennon (with, of course, all the due apologies to my readers):
I read the news today, oh boy...
British science had just proved it all...
and though the news was rather sad,
well I just had to laugh,
I saw the photograph.
And now we know how many holes
it takes to fill the brains of astrophysicists...
They'd love to turn us into mud again,
Oh boy...
Now it seems to yours truly that a riff on Lennon's 1960's psychedelic song lyrics are a "good fit" to the current quagmire of such dead end mathematical logic about the supposed history of the universe. It is so full of holes. And such god awful unholy holes. Such circular "unlearned ignorance" is hard to fathom.
Here "we" have for a certainty that all matter started with a big bang... Except that "we" have no idea of what constitutes 95% of "all matter." Which brings us to the circular reasoning of Ptolemaic epicycles, oh boy... Indeed...
Eratosthenes first measured the circumference of the earth from the shadows cast by the sun. Today, humanity's fitness to survive will be measured by our ability to conquer that same thermonuclear fusion that casts those shadows. Thus, Prometheus will truly be unbound.
