What it really highlights, is that the Einsteinatasi, being so bedazzled by their own brilliance in being able to "see" what the laitee cannot, fail to realise their own cognostic myopia. Funny how you say "ask the expert"; now it's "Don't believe what the professor says" Prof Bunny also mentioned 100by before this "almost to infinity". There you have it: Infinity = 100by + x (a small amount) If you disagree with this figure, go argue with the nobel
