(no subject)
Thanks to nemesis_to_go for the Quietus interview with Sir Patrick Moore link, I am amused by this quote:
"Either space is finite or else it isn't. If it's finite, then what's outside it? Maybe there's nothing - no more space. If the other hand space is infinite, you can't think about something that goes on forever. My brain won't do it and nor will yours. You can't describe infinity in ordinary words: I can't and neither could Einstein. I know because I asked him. Ha ha!"
