He's rediscovered Olbers' paradox...
He's quite something. You know that, don't you?
Earth is too young, and space is expanding with us too fast for the light from the stars to reach us.
Stars everywhere. More than we can count? So why isn't the night sky full of light?
Which do you think is bigger? Outer space...
Words from Stapledon's Star Maker... "The whole cosmos was infinitely less than the whole of being..."

Ouch. A broken bone? A fight you have with somebody?
On that one? All your memories never get weaker, and they never go away.
The way Mom's skin smelled. Seeing that heron.
What's happening on that one?

I had fallen asleep. It had been too long and Robbie wasn't back.
ROBBIE!
*groan*
If you'd like to be with Robbie, you can be.
Would you like to come again tommorow?
And then one day, my son is there, inside my head as sure as life. My wife, too. I know what Robbie wants from me. He wants to see what's out there.
Can you believe where we just were?
