If you get a drill and drill down 5km beneath the ground, it's teeming with life - millions of tiny living fossils. They resemble the earliest life forms and suggest that life started under the Ground. The bible talks of Eden as a sunny parkland with white fluffy clouds, but it probably ascended from the region that we now associate with Hell.
Science and the Ultimate Reality: Quantum Theory, Cosmology, and Complexity
A universe that came from nothing in the big bang will disappear into nothing at the big crunch. Its glorious few zillion years of existence not even a memory.
That's been our bread and butter so, honestly, we're not that worried about it. They've got to guard us too, and we've got a lot of firepower.

We have three games left (in the regular season) to give us some momentum going into March (Madness), which has always been our month.

It's something of a triumph for Guth and the people who developed the inflation scenario that 25 years later we get this level of detail and confirmation of inflation.
Everyone plays a little tighter, and I'm just trying to create something. If you can get a turnover and convert it, it's a big lift for the team.
