I tend to think when all is said and done, we won't say "the big bang happened x billion years ago...."

We will say "We are now in the x billionth year of the bang..."

It sounds like a semantic ploy, but I think there's something different to it.

[Petruchio]

I don't see the big deal. The "Big Bang" is so easy to explain already. In the beginning, God said . . .

. . . and there was.

End of story.

Brian May is the lead guitar player in a legendary rock band. He is also an astronomer and a leading researcher in solar system dust and the zodiacal light.

Is this what happens when you combine ultra cool with ultra nerd?

"It wuz like all dark, see, then like it wuz all bright and loud, like a Stones concert. That wuz what the Big Bang wuz like."

One hell of a guitar player.

Hi All-

Great guitarist and glad to hear he has other worthy interests. He should consider a decent haircut as well.

A member of Queen writes a book called Bang? I figured it alluded to the treatment of groupies in the '70's.

[Rebel_Ace]

This is not surprising to me. I had read back in the late 70's that May had a degree in physics.

In fact, on the album A Night At The Opera there is a track he wrote called '39, which is a folk song about time dilation during extended space travel. Listen to the lyrics carefully, there is no question that the song tells the tale of space travellers returning to meet their great grandchildren, and to mourn the loss of everyone else that they knew. Cool song.

Brian may ping - is this the way to Amarillo?
