Earlier this week, I was driving home with Cameron when he said, "You know, there are some things that are hard to think about."
"That's true," I said.
"Like the Big Bang," he continued. This, I must confess, took me a bit by surprise. I guess I had been thinking "hard to think about" like "death is hard to think about," not hard to think about like . . . the origins of the universe?
"Like, I try to picture it and it's like, there was nothing, but what is nothing? I picture all this blackness and then all of a sudden I see a big N. You know, the symbol for nitrogen? And the N explodes into stars and galaxies. Maybe not our galaxy, I'm not sure, but maybe other galaxies at first."
Hard to think about indeed.

I can say for certain that I have never given this issue a thought.
I don't know what that says about my intellect versus Cameron's, but I most likely don't want to know.
