“There is a theory that states that if anyone ever discovers what the universe is for, it will immediately vanish and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable. There is ANOTHER theory that states that this has ALREADY happened…”
How many volumes on theology (the study and science of God) did Saint Thomas Aquinas write, and how does that number compare with the number of books in The Bible?
I do not get it. I keep hearing this 11 billion to 13 billion year statement… when one can read from reliable sources all over the net that we are seeing stars from 45 billion light years away… and the visible universe is estimated at 90 billion light years across.
So what’s with the measly 11 / 13 billion year thing? Did I miss somethings?

I need to have my eyes checked again. I’d swear he says “2 billon years” instead of “2 billion years”.
Billion is a big number. Billon is a metal alloy out of which they used to make coins.

A billion here, a billion there, after awhile you’re talking about real money.

Not only that, but it now makes stargazing a statutory sex crime.

It’s all due to a little sign on the door, “You must be at least 13 billion years old to buy alcohol”

I don’t know. Most universal warranties expire at 10 billion years.

But it’s all useless since we don’t have the receipt.
