Sometimes I wish I could be like Dr. Manhatten, just to be able to view these incredible phenomena up close.
- scns 4y agoNever thought about it like that, but i concur. (addendum) Thank you for the inspiration. Reminds me of Einstein: "When i could stand in a train that travels at the speed of light and look in a mirror, what do i see?"
