Hi, I very much enjoyed hearing from the panel at TAM 2011 in Las Vegas from you, Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and Pamela Gay. However I noticed there was some animosity between you and Dr. Tyson. Is there some sort of ongoing battle between you and him, some rival of the scientists?

Heres the video if anyone is interested.

Also, in that talk at TAM you said that the James Webb Space Telescope would not help us learn more about the nature of dark energy. Why is that?

P.S.- I just picked up your new book and can't wait to get started.

SPOILERS!

Was Bioshock Inifnite and especially its ending a comment on life and the universe or more specifically the nature of video games. In the ending, elizabeth makes a lot of sweeping statements when you're going through the infinite lighthouses such as: "We swim in different oceans but land on different shores." and how everything will happen all the same because it always has and always will be. In this, were you trying to make a statement about life (using the many worlds interpretation of QM) , or more so just video games and how we experience them.

Either way the ending was magnificent. After I finished I had to sit for two hours and really cope with what I had gone through. Bioshock Infinite was the greatest storying telling experience I've ever had out of any media. Thanks.
