Professor of astrophysics at Princeton University, J. Richard Gott will talk about his work with the physics of time travel and helping people quantify how vast outer space really is, as well as the "Doomsday Argument" which shows how statistically there is a 95% chance of human extinction within 9,120 years.

I just got back from there. Everything's fine 9,120 years from now.

Thank you for the tip. Sounds like great eatin’ for the next 9,120 years.

I’m sorry. I’m going to go lie in the corner, suck my thumb and hold my blankey because I have no idea what you said, though my family says it’s very humorous and well thought-out. Thanks for your comment.

Did you see Marty McFly anywhere?

I was just mocking the “Big Bang Theory”. If we accept that there was a big bang, what was it that went bang since there was nothing before it resulted in something (the universe). The Big Bang Theory is so easy to ridicule that I am surprised that any thinking person (especially a scientist) could accept it as fact.

1. God made the kernel of a universe.

2. God made a fuse.

3. God lit the fuse.

4. The kernel exploded.

And, altogether, it took seven days.

I know. So one of the answers has to be Spandex. I appreciate your point of view.
