Creative Speculation

on this planet, are often damn fools. Perhaps it's because those that often spout the most negatively really know little and that is their defense mechanism for their stunning lack of knowledge. If one is exposed to much high energy physics, for example, it's difficult to walk away and say we know it all. We haven't even scratched the surface. And other life forms could be a few billion years beyond us ... we are the only inhabitants of the universe. That, is so preposterous.
