I read the transcript.
I note that he mentions space is found to be flat which means it is big.. I agree and I know you do also Ron.
Dark energy seems to be a matter of interest at the pointy end of research and I think that is something that needs so much attention because finally dark energy holds the key to understanding what is going on.
I would have liked to have asked his view on the relationship of a black hole to the galaxy and if he sees them as gravitationally signifficant for the whole galaxy..
and his views on the sample of spirals (only 230 I think were observed) that line up like buttons on a string.. that observation must point to structural features and "growth" features in spirals that must help understand things better.
And does such a line up point to a larger picture where matter is routinely passed between galaxies.
As it is thought at the moment black holes are responsible for the outpour of matter I imagine he would have something more on the matter.
Still as much as I missed being there I had a wondeful afternoon with my daughter.. built her a rather neat cubby house that she loves .. she is really the center of my Universe.. and everything falls behind my time with her.
The time they are young passes so quickly never to return... if time travell were possible I would not waste it on going further back than to moments with my children over the years.
She nearly beat me at chess.. got my Queen and not many folk can do that to me... she had to go before we finished the game but I think she could have won from there...and I told her so.. which if you know me an addmission such as that is a victory in itself.
She was still happy about it when I saw her this morning...not as happy as me I must say.
She leans more to a steady state Universe but keeps those views to herself when explaining the big bang to other kids and teachers.
I had to laugh when her teacher said to me.."if I am not sure of science things I look to see if Sascha approves and she gives me a nod".
Said in jest or in serious observation I take it as a nice thing for the teacher to say.
