Couldn't See the Galaxy for the StarsI'm sure you're familiar with the phrase "Can't See the Forest for the Trees". Well, astronomers have just discovered that they couldn't see the galaxy for the stars:
This sort of stuff always fascinates me... and there's been a lot of news lately in this regard. Matt's been talking about it recently too. For a while, I had been reading a lot about cosmology, string theory, and advanced physics... but recently I've just been reading little news articles here and there. I can only understand so much of it... but some of the stuff that we're figuring out is just amazing. Of course, by "we"... I mean the royal we... as I couldn't figure out any of this stuff. My knowledge of mathematics starts to break down once you get past the numbers 0 and 1.
