Hello bruce19,
You and I are both "out there", I remember that tome from the 1980's I believe. I know Hawking and others have their own ideas but that is what I shall enjoy while I am in my sunset years. Speaking of the Sun, I took a beautiful picture of the full moon last night under cloudless skies. Was it cloudy in Lebanon or where you priviledged (not 2 good at sp.) to see it?
Regards.
Jim.
