  • Biology has tended to be an observational science, and deriving things from first principles has not been possible in the past, but I hate to predict the future on that.

  • If you take a galaxy and try to make it bigger, it becomes a cluster of galaxies, not a galaxy. If you try to make it smaller than that, it seems to blow itself apart.

  • There are reasons, increasing in number and quality, to believe that the masses of ordinary galaxies may have been underestimated by a factor of 10 or more.

  • The discrepancy between what was expected and what has been observed has grown over the years, and we're straining harder and harder to fill the gap.

  • There's no observational evidence that I know of that indicates electric and magnetic forces are important on cosmological scales.
