A wonderful coincidence, if you can call it that, is that he had the opposite trajectory of another musician/astronomer named Brian, that of Brian May, founder and lead guitarist for Queen. Brian May left his PhD program to become a musician full time, and didn't return to get his doctorate in astrophysics until relatively recently.

We can't actually count all the galaxies individually so we see about how much there are in a small patch of sky and extrapolate that number out to the scale of the observable universe. One problem we've had is that the Milky Way blocks our view of a decent chunk of the universe so as our technology gets better and we devise clever ways to get around that problem we can start seeing more of the universe and updating our theories and estimates.

That would be nice indeed. However, I wonder if there aren’t physiological barriers. For example, I would love to run as fast as Usain Bolt, but my body just isn’t built the same. So is that true for intellect??? That some people’s brains such as Professor Cox’s is physically different from most peoples? And that’s nothing to say about all the traumatic brain injuries and how that affects one cognition. But I’m kind of in line with Christopher Hitchens; that would be a boring world!! Yes, we can do so much better with our frontal cortexes, but…. Something to think about using the brains we have! Cheers!

But I suppose without the Higgs field everything would be massless and travel at C and therefore time wouldn't exist because time requires spacetime to be warped due to the presence of mass.

For me what if there is some kind of consciousness to all this energy and space and matter at a sub atomic level which we all just add to with every thought, experience and possibility. So even thoughts are energy and partcles/waves. I know you can't add or subtract from energy but the addition is consciousness built into the energy. And is the reason turrtles know to race to the ocean to avoid being eaten by hawks as soon as they are hatched, or why writers can dip into creative flow, or an athlete can experience being in the zone, etc. Making us all God. It's the opposite of all knowing. We can take from it and give back to it. It need us and everything else all to go back into the energy that makes up everything. Making us all God. And this little window of time of existence is a little play we are all putting on for ourselves. We are God's eyes and ears in this material world.
