That reminds me of an exchange between Sheldon and Penny when she said, in frustration, "He's impossible."
Sheldon's respsonse: "I can't be impossible. I'm here. I think what you meant to say is I'm improbable."
I don't think I will get too worried about that Big Bang theory doubt. After all, I imagine only a small percentage of Americans can fathom what the theory means, beyond there was, you know, nothing and then something exploded and now there's everything. And, oh yeah, everything is moving away from everything else really, really fast.
But you say there was nothing?You see why people get confused.
Yeah.
Then something exploded.
Yeah.
So where did the something come from?
Nothing.
So nothing exploded?
Well, sort of.
But if nothing exploded ... then nothing exploded. So where's the explosion?
More problematic is a recent poll that says that 20% don't believe the sun is the center of the universe.
Because, as everyone knows, I am.

But this sun is not the centre of the universe; is this a typo?
ReplyDeleteI do not claim to understand the Big Bang theory, but it seems to me that if everything is moving away from everything else, then any point could be considered the center of the universe. I assume you meant to say the sun is the center of the solar system?
