If Keith began his last contribution with something along the lines of "According to our present understanding.." instead of some certainty that theoretical physics has somehow "got there" I might stop laughing at his "believe in science" stance.

Science is about exploring reality and joining the dots, not some faith based nonsense.

If you are going to amaze us with flights of fancy, at least do it in style like Donuel. I want a pint of what he's on.
