So I better make room on my "easy to reach" bookshelf next to "Das häßliche Universum". Like everyone else here, I wouldn't want to miss your blog for the live of me, so I suppose a donation would be in order.

I am looking forward to the next one. <br /><br />Next, I do better at reading then watching videos. Like a few who posted on the Dark Energy post, they did not have time to watch the video or had to stop and come back.
