Topics: classic

And he told them "the universe is a ripe apple in heavenly         consummation with Newtonian physics".         Comparisons grew rife with planets in the cosmos measured         against all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the world.         Sobering stuff, this astronomical speculation.
