Just having a chuckle over the fact that I posted two stories - this one an excerpt from an important new book by Stephen Hawking on the sound scientific explanation for the making of our world. And the other about someone I know and like getting kicked off a plane. And it's the story about getting kicked off the plane that gets all the upvotes. [edit post downvote. I found this genuinely surprising. This Hawking piece (the full title was "Stephen Hawking on God, Science and the Origins of the Universe") is a beautifully simple explanation of a profound and complex topic. Based on Einstein's dictum that if you can't explain something simply then you don't really understand it, its simplicity was an achievement.]
