The vastness of space truly boggles the mind. A couple of years ago I was having dinner with some friends. One guy, visiting from NYC, is a professor of astrophysics. My son and I got him in a corner and tried to get him to explain infinity to us. He really couldn’t. With the discovery of that Kepler-22B, it’s even more confusing. How on earth (no pun intended) can these rocket scientists predict how many millions of light years away we are from that planet? How can they even see it with the Hubble Telescope?
