Astronomical Fashion Flips

Hundreds of TPODs have been published since the summer of 2004. In particular, we invite discussion of present and recent TPODs, perhaps with additional links to earlier TPOD pages. Suggestions for future pages will be welcome. Effective TPOD drafts will be MORE than welcome and could be your opportunity to become a more active part of the Thunderbolts team.

Astronomical Fashion Flips

Unread post by StevenJay » Tue Jan 03, 2012 7:36 am

For the layman, astronomy press releases have the same value as the latest gossip about Lady Gaga (or perhaps a bit less). With no anchor to consequential effects, fashion becomes the ultimate criterion of acceptability.
The early 21st-century in hind sight:

It was the best of times. Nope.
It was the worst of times. Huh-uh.
It was the most absurd of times. BINGO!
It's all about perception.
