Interesting article. Briefly covered a few controversial topics in physics and cosmology.

Number 2 The Horizon Issue and Number 10 The Kuiper Cliff are of particular interest to me.

And you can always add things like "what actually is "light"" ... what actually is "magnestism" ... what actually is "gravity"".

I do not believe or even think ... even ... that there has been a truly definitive explanation of any of those above I have mentioned ... not one that I've been happy with anyway ... so far ... kind of ... maybe .

If someone can point me in the right direction I would indeed be happy.

Also ... Richard Feynman once postulated that the universe was in fact a single photon moving backwards and forwards in time. He could also play the bongo drums .

I often wonder about that 100 day long flash (SCP 06F6) that came out of nowhere and then blinked out.

Quite agree ... now that was weird. Haven't heard anything since about it either. It probably doesn't fit in with all the current (and mostly wrong I would suspect) theories regarding star birth, star death, and the general make up of the universe .

Hi, light is the big bright thing that usually happens during the day. Gravity is what makes things fall over, and magnetism is where metals are sticky...probably covered covered in glue or jam or something....Hope this helps, slightly older person...

Oh. Guess I was wrong. I thought 'light' was the opposite of 'heavy,' 'magnetism' was being attracted to the opposite sex, and 'gravity' meant you were serious.

I don't understand men, either...didn't mean to sound chauvanistic. If I had to choose between one or the other to be stuck on an island with, it would be a pretty easy decision.
