Southland Times: Hitch-Hikers Guide, Galaxy

Published 30th October 2012

      

Nice to see your paper printed a Story on the Heart of our Galaxy with Quotes from the Late Douglass Adams, the greatest Philosopher Humorist of the 20th Century.
I recall he said space is so mind bogglingly big that most intelligent species have learned to settle down is much smaller places for the sake of their own sanity.
Also He stated that to live in a Universe this size the one thing you cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion, which is no doubt why people need religion.
Because if you could truly see the vastness of time and space compared to your own Physical existence the shock would be too much for your brain!

But then, there is a footnote that many respectable scientists have complained that this argument is a load of Dingo’s Kidneys...


That sums up where we are at the moment I think.
