Many brilliant minds, your master Ed Witten and Stephen Hawking are members. A host of atheists and Nobel prize winners all appointed by the Pope. Sounds like a paradox.....

Very interesting … I didn't know this.

Didn't work out too well for Galileo (who now appears to be a founding leader ?).

I notice Georges Lemaitre is there as well.

'Twould be awesome to see Dawkins there !
I wonder why he isn't ?

Thanks for that. Very interesting.

Whaddya say, Bert ?

Cheers
