Incredibly well done; press START and move the mouse slowly.
The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

The current "standard model" theory is that sometime during the very early universe there was a period of radical "inflation" that blew up the universe like a balloon at much faster than the speed of light.
The theory (first proposed by physicist Alan Guth) gets around the light speed barrier by proposing that nothing actually moves faster than light but that space itself expanded at a rate faster than light.
This left us with a universe estimated to be significantly larger than the visible universe because inflation is proposed to have started before the first stars turn on, during the "dark period" of the universe.
Apparently (and I am certainly no expert on this), the level and isomorphic distribution of the cosmic background radiation supports this theory.
I am sure you are now no longer confused.
Reading about drones and your take on Fisker, it is remarkable to me how those issues had diminished in importance in my universe without an advocate in my universe bringing them up.
The icing was with this post, realizing that despite the immensity of the outer universe, it is our own universes that matter to us....
We often get discouraged and think we are so little, and it is so much work, that we do not matter. The remarkable answer, and it struck me very strong today upon visiting your site, is that we all matter. We matter very much, for what we do has influences that have influences on influences. The subtraction of which, means something that should have happened, won't.
In that regard, we are all immortal, a strand of thread woven into the eternal fabric of time.
