Had a clear sky for a change last night, and so was able to once again sit out in the backgarden of an evening with a cup of tea and watch the stars do absolutely nothing. Which is typical of bloody stars. Giant nuclear reactors they tell me, cosmic explosions of unimaginable magnitude they claim, and yet all I see is a faint glimmer struggling through the glow of the city lights. Well I don't believe it. Give me a Copernican model any day, with a fixed sphere of stars surrounding us and life'll be a hell of a lot easier. No more incomprehensible distances or times, just our own little self-contained bubble, and to hell with whatever else is in the universe. Strange topic for a rant, yes, but I want life, the universe, and everything to be simple. I want to know why these things happen, and I want to see them happen. And I want to see comets fall and planets collide.
I want a champagne supernova in the sky.
