We can only directly see 4 percent of the universe.

Really? these people may disagree with that.

As technology has evolved, astronomers are able to look back in time to the moments just after the Big Bang. This might seem to imply that the entire universe lies within our view. But the size of the universe depends on a number of things, including its shape and expansion. Just how big is the universe? The truth is, scientists can't put a number on it.

Lufthansa has a system for classifying how critical various systems on their aircrafts are. They put a letter, A-D on each system where A means this really, really REALLY should not fail, to D which means minor discomfort. Their onboard coffee machines have the letter C on them. They take their coffee seriously.

Also, apparently hijacing an aircraft was not outlawed until 1961.

All the stars, planets and galaxies that can be seen today make up just 4 percent of the universe. The other 96 percent is made of stuff astronomers can't see, detect or even comprehend.

Errr, I've just got one question to ask, perhaps you may know it, how do they know there's only one universe and not millions of others as well.

I don't know anything. I am just a humble pilgrim traveling through space and time.

There is a theory about this but....does it really matter? If there is another universe out there with another me in it, I hope I'm smarter, richer and better lookin'.

There really was a Captain Morgan. He was a Welsh pirate who later became the lieutenant governor of Jamaica.

And God actually said: "let 'em eat cake maybe they'll see the light!"

Bubble universes — every disk represents a bubble universe. Our universe is represented by one of the disks. Someone else once quoted him( in French) but didn't run in time...

She was a bit of a 'bubblehead' herself....

What God really said is, "If you can't see it you can't eat it"
