"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Well, we are inside of a large cosmic void. You can visualize it by imagining our galaxy falling into this void. Void KBC is 2 billion light years across is characterized by 15 to 50 percent underdensity -- which does several things. Less x-ray and y-ray radiation might mean proper conditions for life to develop. Secondly, light travels slightly different through our void, thus our observations of distant universe are most likely incorrect. Hubble constant measurements are incorrect. Red shift measurements are incorrect.

We do calculate age of universe to be 13.8 billion light years, and yet we observe galaxies older than universe. This new study of KBC void suggests age of universe much younger, perhaps as young as 12.7 billion light years.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Our understanding of things is still at a child like level and once we actually figure things out will likely be so far off it will be astounding about virtually everything.
