Yeah, I'm not paying a whole lot of credence to the cosmology department these days, they're too busy using Elmer's Glue to keep their whole story from falling apart.

I'm not so sure about the whole 'photon' thing anymore either ... an individual, no-mass, single-point thing that can survive travelling through that universe out there for -billions of years- ? The math works, but does the model, really?

Right on about the life thing too.
