Oh, yeah, trust me, I know,  I got halfway through a
physics degree, even, before I bailed into English
(discipline isn't exactly my forte, obviously) but
they certainly aren't much happening in the known
solar system, either.  Perhaps esp. when relativity 
makes itself apparent (e.g., Mercury's orbit has a 
greater eccentricity than Earth's, right?  But then
there's Pluto ...).  Uh, what were we taling about ...
