That was a great read! This bit struck me:

"Both spent their lives measuring the stress in stone. Both used scientific methods to answer questions that had seemed to everyone else beyond the reach of science."

Nothing, I repeat NOTHING is beyond the reach of science!

Go and investigate something that no-one investigated before, and you will find something that no-one found before.

Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise.

Now whether [what you find] is worth the trouble of investigating (or: where one's efforts are best spent), that is another matter.

Events outside of our light cone? (I was going to say "past events" but I suspect that's superfluous)
