โThe universe is expanding, and faster now than it did in the past. Scientists don't know why, but the leading explanation is that the universe contains something that has a repulsive gravitational effect - it pushes the universe apart instead of pulling it back together. This phenomenon is called dark energy.โ

"or, we've biffed a bit of math or observation somewhere along the extremely long chain of reasoning it takes to get to this conclusion."
But, the universe is certainly mighty weird, and is under no obligation to be sensible

It's so much more than simply throwing a bunch of related shots together. You can establish a mood, focus the viewer's attention, tell a complete story.
A book on Final Cut Pro by Diana Weynand (this was several years ago, so the lesson/content may have changed) included a scene from the series Leverage. Consisting of multiple takes, the student has to learn how to sync the audio with the video, but also incorporate different camera angles as characters speak and react to one another. It's fascinating.

Cuddles with my beautiful babies.
Mr Kitty played a little yesterday which was lovely to see. His drool is over most things now, poor boy.
The smell of his halitosis is at once incredibly depressing and I now link it to cancer (much like I did Mumโs death rattle) but also positive. I breathe it in deeply with all the love so have for him and gratitude I get to spend that much extra time with him. I know it is strange.
