Hubble Space Telescope Mirror
(With Cautionary Message Spoof)

HST Mirror

See a copy (without pictures) of Robert Britt's SPACE.COM article: Hubble Pictures Too Crisp, Challenging Theories of Time and Space.* The current conclusion is that quantum theory might be in trouble, because the light from really distant objects hasn't fuzzied up like it's supposed to. Another idea to ponder would be that the objects are much closer than we think.

Thanks to William R. (Bill) Fox, of Starkville, MS, for the idea of a spoof that shows the "things are closer" caution notice on a telescope mirror.
