For someone who does not consider himself very knowledgeable in ways of science, I find
you quite perceptable at picking up the nuances enough to make a good argument.
I would quite agree with you the similarity between Michael's "arguments" for/against
BBT are very much like trying to qualify the "straightness" of lines past infinity.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
