[Mind's Eye] the great attractor

It's out there and it's huge (400 million light years across) and 250
million light years from the edge of the Milky Way. We hurtle towards
it at speeds undreamed of. This is the Great Attractor. Physics from
CERN is very 'small' and they might be about to tell us something
significant on the Higgs' boson tomorrow. The play between 'two ends
of infinity' fascinates me. I know most are more concerned with
colour-matching furniture and the 'tediously endless' gossip I can't
bear. Dogsworth, my new canine pal, is unphased, currently 'bowing'
in front of the female cat - a gesture of friendship unrequited and
lost in translation. We had a blood moon yesterday and he didn't even
howl at that, choosing instead to chase squirrels in the dawn. I
called him Maxwell. He shows little electro-magnetic imagination.
Max indulges my science, as long as I do it at walking pace!
