As someone specializing on a different field, this comment reads to me as if you were an astronomer being excited about discovering a gigantic meteor heading towards the Earth :)
- tptacek 9y agoSure, if your subfield of astronomy was all about practical ways to adapt to living on meteor fragments!
- QAPereo 9y agoSome of us would be terrified, but also excited about the prospect of studying a supermassive black hole from the inside. You know what I mean? Some things are just so singular and incredible, and so to the heart of a given field of interest, that “glorious” is a perfect word to describe it. An alien invasion of Earth would be a nightmare, but for some it would be the moment they could finally move past the realm of the hypothetical. Passion is passion, even when it’s terminal.
