Brian’s love of music and the stars is wonderfully combined in the song named “’39″ that he wrote, sang, and played with Queen.

Imagine, if you will, an English music-hall sea-chantey atop a ringing, chime-y 12-string guitar riff overlaid with echoing Queen harmonies. Oh, and with time-travel thrown in. :)

Brilliant stuff, believe me.

Brian May amazed me as I watched his performance with Queen in Philadelphia in 1976. And he still amazes me today. He avoided the normal pitfalls of Star-dom for 30 years and completed his PhD. Speaking from experience, this is no easy feat.

The field of astronomy will gain from this in a small part – as all PhD’s do. Congratulations!

“We Will, We Will Rock You” – Now if Brian could just somehow get that song removed from all of the sports arenas in the world that would also be an amazing accomplishment.

Sorry Brian nothing personal (LOL)

The questions with regard to the visible Universe:
[a] How..?
[b] Why..?
and
[c] When. did this Universe begin..?

Humans will never have the capacity or the experience to answer
accurately these puzzling questions.

Be you an emeritus professor of Astronomy, or a person who hardly knows what Astronomy means, each can have a guess, and each guess is valid,......but NEVER accurate.
