There's so much to love about this comment, especially this part:

> Cosmology is one of the most beautiful sciences in my experience, precisely because we have such good ways to model the observations to probe various models, and you can treat the observations with Bayesian stats with virtually no risk of misspecifying your model, or, if you do find its misspecified, you have discovered something new about the universe.

What a great example of the scientific process, collectively discovering, questioning, challenging, making mistakes, correcting them, and gradually refining our knowledge and understanding. Even as an outsider I can see the beauty in this earnest pursuit of truth.

Not to mention the subject matter is just mind-opening. The more you know, the more strange wonders and mysteries you find. It's incredible to get a glimpse of it.
