    So we just pull book after book off the shelf because a few crackpots threaten you? Where do you draw the line?

    So terrorism then? I thought we didn't negotiate with terrorists. You know what happens when you pull one book off the shelf because someone threatens to murder people? They start threatening the next book in line they don't like.

    Can we please just stop threatening to murder people who say things we don't like? We're trying to run a civilization here and they're not helping things.

    Because science doesn't work based on the notion of "why not?" This paper could very well be accurate, but currently it's just one paper without a solid base supporting it. Scientists will study it, run experiments, play with the mathematics and if it works out then it will be accepted.

    But we are not at the point to throw out our existing theories based on one idea.

    One study believes the universe is 26.7 billion year old. Phrasing the headline like you did makes it seem as though this is widely accepted.

    For me it must've been one of the Beano or Dandy Annuals. Not sure the exact year, but probably in the late 80s some time. I've still got them stored away somewhere.

    I came here to say this. I've been listening to Digitally Imported for close to 20 years now. They have all kinds of electronic music from a huge collection of genres. My favourite is Vocal Trance.

    I live in Ontario too. I'm 45. I don't own a house, nor do I have any savings. I've got a decent job but it just covers the basics. I'll never be able to retire.
