群友回顧去年書單推坑的科幻小說，意外燃起了塵封已久的科學魂，當年念自然組的那些看似不知哪日派上用場的科學知識，居然是在看小說時（！），始料未及但閱讀體驗相當愉快，是個很值得當作10天連續假期第一本讀物的小說。
到底是腦補還是作者埋的彩蛋已經不重要，先是開英制/公制的玩笑；還把語音助理的無法變通當玩笑

講幹話是生活必須，除了拇指搭配我就爛微笑之外，還可以從新的角度，看待挫折，以及那些僥倖成功的人嘴裡吐出來的毒雞湯

甚麼是宇宙學？

用歷史研究作比喻，天文學就如中史、歐洲史，窺究的是一個地區或國家的歷史，而宇宙學則像世界史，甚至是人類史，宏觀地探究整個人類社會各文明的歷史演化甚或是人類這物種與地球的起源。

"How to bake a Universe" by C. Burrage

Lyrics-
Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. wait
The earth began to cool, the autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang! hey

since the dawn of man, is really not that long,
As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song.
A fraction of a second and the elements were made.
The bipeds stood up straight, the dinosaurs all met their fate,
They tried to leap but they were late
And they all died (they froze their asses off)
The oceans and Pangea, see ya wouldn't wanna be ya
Set in motion by the same big bang!
It all started with the big bang!

It's expanding ever outward but one day
It will pause and start to go the other way,
Collapsing ever inward, we won't be here, it won't be heard
Our best and brightest figure that it'll make an even bigger bang!

Australopithecus would really have been sick of us
Debating how we're here, they're catching deer (we're catching viruses)
Religion or astronomy (Descartes or Deuteronomy)
It all started with the big bang!

Music and mythology, Einstein and astrology
It all started with the big bang!
It all started with the big bang!
