I remember reading Lord Kelvin saying that everything regarding physics has been figured out, and what remains is just calibrations. This was before general relativity, Hubble telescope, and understanding of the quantum mechanics.

Would be funny if we thought we are alone in the universe but the problem is just that we are in the middle of a fucking desert and everyone else alive lives in a cluster where they party together.

It always feels like paradigm shifts are just history of science. If a shift this big happens in our lifetime it would be awesome. I'm not in a field related to astronomy in any form but this still excites me.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zozEm4f_dlw&t=325">5:25</a> fun fact, the same problem exists in particle physics in regards to neutron decay. Free neutron decays in about 15 minutes, but the two different methods we use to measure this differ by 10 seconds.
