Can someone explain in some easy way.
For example, I think that everyone gets that the universe
is expanding because space itself is expanding.
No one quite knows how space itself can expand
but ok so space is expanding.
Further, gravity bends space so light curves
when it goes around dense stars and even black holes.
So can someone connect those two observations
with the math and observations of this article?

It's like something out of a Robert Frost poem.

I wrote poetry when I was in my 20’s as an antidote to my political science major. Poly sci taught Students how to use roughly 1000 words where roughly 10 words would do.

Poly sci at the time was not a real major. So it taught students how to be baffling. The saying was if you can’t dazzle them with your brilliance. Baffle them with your BS. Poly sci major’s learned to be bafflers.

That major wasted me. Baffle others and you baffle yourself.

That’s why speaking the truth with simplicity helps both the speaker and the listener.

To this day when I’m way out beyond my ken — I still resort to poetry. A good rhyme heals the spaces between what I think I know, what I know I don’t know and what I don’t know that I don’t know. That’s sec def speech. But concise as I can get for the atheist.

Who shall I say has sent me? (Tell them—I am who I am has sent you.) That’s both true and a play on words—not to mention OT humor)

Thank you for noticing.
