h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I got home late last night and discovered that DNA was no longer with us. I seem to have spent the next several hours sadly browsing his obits. It was always great to know that some of my thoughts on the universe were shared by others ie it don't always work the way scientists think it does.

Through his work I have met so many other wonderful folks - people who don't mind splashing through puddles, people who don't trust people who want power, people who care about the world.

It is tempting to say that he has left a gap, but having read so many of the comments from other researchers it is obvious that there is no gap; instead there is a massive pool of people willing to learn and pass on that learning, and people who will query established scientific facts.

The pebble in the pond may have been a thought in a field one night - the ripples are now creating energy swirls of their own

May your god bless you, and thanks.
