New Images Support ‘Big Bang’ Theory

Scientists said yesterday they have found the best evidence yet supporting the theory that about 13.7 billion years ago, the universe suddenly expanded from the size of a marble to the size of the cosmos in less than a trillionth of a second.
A team of researchers used data collected by a NASA satellite measuring microwave radiation to offer direct, experimental support for the theory of “inflation” put forth 25 years ago — that the expansion of the universe, commonly known as the “big bang,” began with a single burst of repulsive energy acting in a tiny fraction of time. The expansion continues today but at a much slower rate.
“We can measure the sky to tell what powered this expansion,” said Goddard Space Flight Center astrophysicist Gary Hinshaw. “It’s really amazing, actually. I was in graduate school when the theory was first proposed, and I’ve been working on it ever since. It’s gratifying to see the idea hold up now.”

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
