News on the Universe…Like it Really Matters…
Nobody Flashes
We have some updates on the universe….quick!
Closer scrutiny of radiation left over from the creation of the universe shows the Big Bang took place about 13.8 billion years ago, 100 million years earlier than previous estimates, scientists said on Thursday.
Nobody wants to know where they found this radiation, what kind of box do they have it in, and how SURE are they that the 100 million is the right figure? After all, they don’t even know what all that black dark matter stuff is. They don’t even know how we got Joe Biden as President…
Can we trust this? And more importantly, have they figured out yet who caused that Big Bang?
They also said this:
“We can see the subtle effects of gravitational pulls from literally everything in the universe.”
Yes, I see the subtle effects of gravitational pull every time I look in the mirror. And this guy gets big bucks to say stuff like this?
The good news is: we have another 100 million years to figure it all out.

This reminds me of an incident many, many years ago when ‘Radio’ dominated entertainment. There was a ‘quiz’ show on with erudite and ‘qualified’ talkers being asked questions about objects. One famous Knighted scientific gentleman (whose fame has nonetheless faded, with his name, from my memory) was part of a discussion of old bones. The ‘Host said something along the lines of “This bone is from a dinosaur that is 170 million years old. What do you say about it Sir Wossname?”.
Sir Wossname replied tunefully, “Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you….”
But, back to serious and more relevant matters. Does this new discovery mean I have to add 100 million years to my age and will it affect my pension?
And another. If they can get the date of the Big Bang wrong by 100 million years, how come they can still tell us what happened in the first millionth of a second?

My point exactly, but you said it much better!
