  27. Time for your astronomy fix.

    So essentially, the Universe is a bunch of hydrogen floating about and occasionally clumping together.

    You're like, "Dude! No way!" And I'm like, "Way!" And you're all, "Nuh-uh!" And I'm all, "Yuh-huh!" And you go, "But it can't be just hydrogen. There's clumps of stuff!" And Sir Issac Newton goes, "Why's there clumps of stuff? There shouldn't be (but there is! I see clumps of stuff!)" and James Jeans said, "Strewth, there's clumps, because science!"

    And he went on to explain how the clumps came to be.

    J is for Jeans Mass and Jeans Length
