lol, I would disagree, a society based on materialism and self - distracted by iPhones and twitter.
The social engineers are moulding the society - not for the better.
The great thinkers of the world are nearly extinct.
Amazing how Einstein theories still hold up even with our Best scientist trying to debunk them
Ocean, can you explain this for the dimwitted (me)?
Is the improbability there because they travelled for such a long time (7 billion years) and you would have expected them to each get deflected about by the "foam" in all that time, thus arriving at different times/points?
What is the probability of them travelling for all that time, and not bumping into something more concrete, like a star or a comet's trail or something? Are these orders of magnitude different?

I love it. Only shows how little we actually know. I pray we find the answers some day. We're certainly on the way.
Keep in mind a photon (both a wave and a particle simultaneously) has zero mass and zero charge, so no interaction with gravity or electircal charge.
That is my understanding. They should have been spaced out a bit more if foam affected them.

Good question - even though space is mostly empty, the gamma ray burst was 7 billion light years away - a good chunk of space. You'd think they may hit something. Perhaps the idea is if they did hit something, they wouldn't have reached earth at all.
