+ A hundred years ago, Auguste Comte, … a great philosopher, said that humans will never be able to
+ visit the stars, that we will never know what stars are made out of, that that's the one thing
+ that science will never ever understand, because they're so far away. %
+ And then, just a few years later, scientists took starlight, ran it through a prism, looked at
+ the rainbow coming from the starlight, and said: ``Hydrogen!'' %
+ Just a few years after this very rational, very reasonable, very scientific prediction was made,
+ that we'll never know what stars are made of. %
