There We Measure Shadows, And We Search

The Great Spirals... Apparently Lie Outside Our Stellar System.

With Increasing Distance, Our Knowledge Fades, And Fades Rapidly. Eventually, We Reach The Dim Boundary-the Utmost Limits Of Our Telescopes.

Not Until The Empirical Resources Are Exhausted, Need We Pass On To The Dreamy Realms Of Speculation.

Science Is The One Human Activity That Is Totally Progressive.

The Universe Is Unfolding As It Should.
