This should read, "Cosmologists Try a New Way to Measure the Tolerance For Continued Funding" which I think is diminishing rapidly, and by rights should be folded into philosophy and theology, and be done with it.... ie: you dont get payed, for pondering, the imponderables from the public purse, and perhaps just get tax free status as a not for profit edit: perhaps there could be a reward for exemplary incomrehensibility, that would be an arm chair produced by whichever hoary old furniture maker supplys the senate chambers


how can infinite be impossible when an end to it is that already, unless the thing is a thought or consciousness without origin. To be able to measure whatever needs infinite space which would be something you can't measure. My answer to this has always been do I really want to know?
