LAT Editorial Kicks Up Some Dust
An LATimes editorial on, of all things, dust provides some chuckles and thought provocation. (here)
The premise is a new theory that planets come from matter the Endust apparently left behind. Pulled across the universe, it gradually collects around new stars and becomes new Earths, but, as the editorialist points out, "without the traffic or billboards."
Haven't heard this theory yet? The LATimes has the answer:
Because these discoveries had nothing to do with murder or sex and concerned something as trivial as the origin of the universe and all life, the news was not widely distributed on Earth. Not even on "Entertainment Tonight." It made Page 28 of this newspaper.
And, in a rare moment of acceptance of the foolishness of trying to explain the creation of the universe without using the word "divine," the editorialist admits,
Dust is even more ubiquitous than pet hairs, once thought by many to be the foundation of all matter.
Funny stuff.
