Ahead of us is where the greatness lies. We have a fantastic future but we need to admit it is not of much now. It is matter of a proper attitude toward science. The people that have the wrong idea and use science in that way will be corrrected by the more objective. An example of a great future is the fossil record collection. Right now we have gathered fossils for about a hundred years. But this collecting is never going to stop. This is where millions of years is going to count. This example applies to all measurements of our universe. We can look forward to millions of years of measurement. The future is complete theory and measurement. Mitch Raemsch
