    Is this trolling? No.

    Is this insightful? Yes. Because time is unstoppable, abd fighting against it is futile.

    It IS better acting within it, realising our place in the universe. I guess only Star Trek freaks will mod this as troll as it shatters their dreams.

    Bah. Obviously "American Scientists" are not "programmers", because each of those sub-pages generates a JavaScript error for me. (If you "scientists" are reading, the onload handler for the BODY tag has a call to some Macromedia Dreamweaver JavaScript libraries which are missing. Either supply the libs or remove the onload.)
