the range of temperatures, distances and time involved. I find it rather humbling in the context of how long man has been on earth and even with the recent strides in understanding the universe, how little we really know. I really admire those who have the mental ability combined with the curiosity to try and advance our knowledge.
Thanks for an interesting post.
