This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff

Man, stuff like this really shows how lacking my knowledge of physics is. I try to read through news articles about it and understand it but really it's like trying to skip to the end of a book and understand what is happening without knowing anything about the other characters or why they're important or why the resolution or conflict was there in the first place. As much as I respect physics, I have continually been baffled by it. Maybe it's time to go back to the part of the book I left off last, see what the deal is.
