Why Wont They Just Let Go!
The world’s largest optical telescope was inaugurated today in Spain, and marks a great achievement for the scientific community and astronomers around the globe. What issue could I, a strident and vociferous proponent of all things science, possibly have with this? Just the fact that Spanish King Juan Carlos I is the one who inaugurated it. Call me vain, or a contrarian, but I have a serious objection to one of the most advanced and modern artifacts of human scientific achievement being linked to one of the most outdated, unjust, and archaic relics of our less than glorious past. I say when it comes to science, leave the regency, like religion, behind.
