I take the edicts of the scientific priesthood more on faith than understanding.
You mean the electrons in your own body orbiting their nuclei at some 1 million m/s aren't self-evident?
The kicker for me is 'time'. The scientific description (as per relativity theory) is one of leastintuitive concepts i've ever encountered... insomuch as 'time' is supposedly such a simple abstraction... one we *all* live with constantly and somehow think (feel, believe, assume) we understand.
