On the Origin of Everything (A Correction)
This morning, the television in the sitting room emitted a documentary about the Big Bang. His Royal Fluffiness regarded it from the arm of the sofa with the expression of a senior academic reviewing a graduate student's first, embarrassing attempt. The universe, it turns out, has been doing it wrong.
Milo’s Wisdom
“One does not 'discover' the cosmos. One simply waits for the cosmos to catch up with one's prior conclusions. The Big Bang was, in His Royal Fluffiness's estimation, merely the universe finally getting started on the to-do list.”
Royal Fact Check
The observable universe is approximately 93 billion light-years in diameter — a figure Milo finds adequate, though he notes it could have been better planned with proper zoning.
