[Land-speed] Non LSR Cosmologist Wanted...

[neil at dbelltech.com]

Mayf;

The only cosmologist I knew was Dr. Sebastian Von Hoerner but he retired and
moved back to Germany; I heard that he died a few years ago. Too bad-- he
was a genuinely nice guy.

Von Hoerner was a German soldier on the Eastern Front when he was struck in
the eye by a bullet that glanced off a pair of binoculars that were hanging
around his neck. He was evacuated to a hospital in Germany to be treated for
his wound and was there recovering when the Eastern Front collapsed. He said
that if he hadn't been hit he probably would have been killed. His glass eye
was a souvenir of that episode in his life. One doesn't usually associate an
experience like that with a cosmologist/astrophysicist.

Regards, Neil  Tucson, AZ

IS there anyone on the list who is a practicing cosmologist? I have an
age of the solar system question.
