Remember that old "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin" problem that so consumed the attention of the Scholastics? I mean, religion is such a taffy-yank. Is something good because God wills it or does God will it because it's good? What a waste of time.

Not like science at all. Science is real, objective, materialistic, pragmatic, manly and utilitarian. No fuzzy questions for science, thank you very much.

By the way, concerning the light as the absolute limit on velocity, does that limit exist because light can only travel that fast, or can light travel that fast because there's an absolute limit? Whatever the answer is to that question, it looks like the theory of relativity is getting tweaked again.

Angels commence dancing.
