    The most puzzling issue to me revolves around the fact that the universe is expanding. Into what is it expanding ? The question is as mind contorting as speculation of the origin of the big bang.

    The "large boulder the size of a small boulder" tweet has reached meme status, and a similar tweet by the San Miguel Sheriff warned of a "large boulder the size of a large boulder":
