Like Hubble noticing that the universe is expanding helping Einstein dump the gravitational constant. Like Michelson and Morley observing that the speed of light is the same in all directions making the Ether irrelevant. Who knows what will come of this observation but may be just as important as the others. |

It helps undercut those arguments if there are shortcuts. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

This study seems to ask us is there something more than random chance at play when talking about the beginning of life? Cool stuff to think about. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |
