I stole the picture at right from the New York Times article as well. If they want it back, all they have to do is ask.
The picture above, by the way, is of my feet, taken in 1976 in Calgary, Alberta, on a beautiful day in June. I was reading Fydor Dostoevsky's first novel, Netochka Nezvanova.

The universe is expanding at an ever-increasing rate.
Yes, we're all concerned about Greece defaulting on it's debt, but the universe is expanding at an ever increasing rate.
My question is, is the earth at the center of the universe? If it was, it might seem reasonable to conclude that God created the earth and the universe and started it on it's way. And we are indeed the center of the universe and Lady Gaga is the center of the world.
But it doesn't solve the mystery of the fact that the universe is expanding at an ever increasing rate.
