Sometimes I can count a handful of stars as I walk around the streets of Tianjin.
Sometimes the pollution has dissipated; sometimes there are no clouds in the night sky.
It dawned on me that it’s not SO much the pollution’s fault that I can’t enjoy staring up into the vast night; it’s because of all the tall buildings that obstruct our view (in Tianjin).
Maybe that is another way to encourage atheism.
If, when I look up, my eyes merely see massive man-made structures rather than the humbling sight of stars numbering beyond my ability to count, what will capture my thoughts?
Questions of cosmology, or greater architecture?
