The Late Afternoon

"Home is where one starts from. As we grow older
the world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated
Of dead and living. Not the intense moment
Isolated, with no before and after,
But a lifetime burning in every moment "

from Four Quartets, T.S.Eliot

[6] A history of unabashed anti-authoritarianism.....

Dark Matters Are Matters Dark



Astrophysics is fascinating, as science and as a field for intellectual battle. The ideas are rich and many, the observational evidence is thorny to make reliable and --comically --often falls in a twilight zone where little can be decided from it. As for experimentation, it is not clear that even the Gods can do so. Yet here we are, flies trapped in amber, carried along by this Whole Shebang.
