Hmmm, while I can’t quite figure out what’s going on in that picture, I thought “what in the world is Moltke talking about?” And then... LOL!

“It suggests our thinking about how galaxies form is totally wrong.”

But if you had questioned their thinking yesterday they would have called you a Luddite.

More evidence, as if any were necessary, why to never take “scientific” theories too seriously.

:-)

But that part in title...’all in a row’...sort of redefines what I’ve so far understood a ‘row’ to be. (They could’ve called it a ‘hockey stick’...and claimed it’s ‘our fault’. Science sure has changed since I graduated.)

As much as I love science and the scientific method, that DID make me chuckle, thanks!

No, that’s the proper role of those with the notion that knowledge is immutable.

I can’t remember where or how I found it, I only know that I coveted it and stole it. I think it was an actual sign on the entrance door of a restaurant that had closed so the owners could take their summer trip back to the old country. :’)

In an infinite chaotic Universe, everything, even the most improbable, has happened.

I think you just invented the Infinite Improbability Drive...

Well then... have the government send me a big ole' check.

My guess is, that even though this is an infinite chaotic Universe, that is the ONE THING that will never happen.

Did I just uninvent the Infinite Improbability Drive ?

A string of 13 dwarf galaxies in orbit around the massive galaxy Andromeda are not behaving as they should.

While I completely agree, and appreciate your response, I don’t see why you responded to me.

(maybe this is the reason) Pretty much every thing we ‘think’ about the Universe around us has been proven wrong. We still have plenty we are wrong about, we just haven’t ‘discovered’ it yet.

Puppeteers figured out how to move galaxies.
