Ron, Well, there are no discovered boundaries to the Universe, but I am still curious how "in principle" could apply to such an unknown. And "literally"? That quote was from the fifth page of the prologue, not even the first chapter. I'm already loving this book.
How about this: "Bell himself once said that given the choice he would prefer to retain the notion of objective reality and throw away the idea that signals cannot travel faster than the speed of light." Objective reality? Maybe by the end of the book, I will be somewhat indoctrinated, but for now this is really humorous. Maybe I'll log my questions, as they come up, into my journal with some associated stream-of-consciousness writing. - I promise I won't post it. Rhetorical question? no...
