Watching all of the scientific documentary stuff has me noticing the contrast between the science world and the political world when you reach a certain age in the political world. Eventually, others begin to conspire for your downfall, and in the scientific world, it seems as if as you age, not only does the lifetime of accomplishment compound into something wonderful, but others seem to rally towards making sure that your lifetime of work, assuming it is in congruence with nature, is promoted to the edges of reality.
