We live on an island surrounded by a sea of ignorance. As our island of knowledge grows, so does the shore of our ignorance.

We are not only observers. We are participators. In some strange sense this is aparticipatory universe.

It was the defining event and remains a thousand degrees hot.

Behind it all is surely an idea so simple, so beautiful, that when we grasp it - in a decade, a century, or a millennium - we will all say to each other, how could it have been otherwise? How could we have been so stupid?

Now is the time for everyone who believes in the rule of reason to speak up against pathological science and its purveyors.

This is *our* Universe, our museum of wonder and beauty, our cathedral.

Surely where there's smoke there's fire? No, where there's so much smoke there's smoke.
