Thank you for taking my class. I have enjoyed working with you, and it is my hope that you leave this class with a sense of wonder. Please hand in your final projects by tonight, or call me if that is not possible.
================
Last reflection opportunity (extra credit): Today, the theory of general relativity has been utilized, along with the COBE project, to talk about the Big Bang. You can read about it here:

1. Summarize the point of the article in terms of the Big Bang--what type of evidence is present, what does it say about the Big Bang in the first second?
2. Note that scientific evidence is not the same as religious evidence or political influence. Does this discovery matter in those realms? Think of past scientific discoveries (Galileo, Bruno, or Tycho Brahe) in your opinion.
