"A day ago, the northern hemisphere was bathed in sunlight for a slightly longer period of time than the day before."

Very few people have the ability to let the eye in their head see the world spinning 'round.

The primitive lizard portion of our brain thinks that the sun going down means the sun is going out. There's plenty of room in Earth orbit for more real estate, if someone knows how to make it real.

The energy is there already, and will be for quite a while. It is that realization that led early mathematicians to calculate how much energy the sun was putting out, and then to wonder where such prodigious amounts of energy could come from. Whatever could be its source?

That led them to realize that energy and matter are two forms of one thing. Matter is the solid state of energy.

Such concepts expand the mind, and we will need expanded minds to deal with the expanded Universe we are discovering.

Happy Future.

Have you figured out how to keep the rest of us from expanding? Tax-chick seems to have mastered it....
