No, that's good, that's what I was thinking too. And the Big Bang part is an interesting angle.. Is there somewhere like that, can we identify a centre of our universe?. And what about the maximum speed of time? Andrew _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
