The Webb telescope is going a million miles into space so we can see more. Much farther than the Gaia and Hubble probes. Astrophysicists guess the universe is 14 billion light years across. So, so vast. All the best to you Paula. So much to learn. Thanks.

Sam, so nice to hear from you. The last line refers to certainty and absolutes which keep changing with astophysical discovery. Now, there are parts of black holes where they claim time no longer exists. Yikes.
